The successful applicant will lead the Cambridge experimental quantum-optics programme, developing and characterising entangled-photon-pair and bright squeezed vacuum sources, performing photon-correlation measurements, and undertaking Hong-Ou-Mandel interference measurements. The role involves collaboration with Columbia University and requires a PhD in experimental quantum optics or a related field. Hands-on experience in quantum optics is essential, and good communication and collaborative skills are required. The University supports flexible working arrangements and encourages applications from under-represented groups.
