The University is seeking an engaging and dynamic PGR Developer to join the PGR Enhancement and Development Team, within the Education Enhancement Directorate, at the University of Strathclyde. The PGR Enhancement and Development Team is central to the delivery of: 1. The Researcher DevelopmentProgramme (RDP) - open to all postgraduate research students across the University with its purpose to support their development as key contributors to our research activity and outputs, and to provideopportunitiesfor themto learn and develop the skills to achievetheir career aspirations regardless of their chosen path.The programmeconsists of over 60 internal and externally delivered courses providing over 2400places toover1600PhD students across the University.Please visit for further information. 2. ThePG CertinResearcher Professional Development(PGCert RPD) - unique to Strathclyde, the PG Cert RPD is a credit bearing academic award thatrecognisesand rewards the wide array of skills and experiences that postgraduate research studentsdevelopduring their PhD research. 3. A diverse range of community enhancing activities including, but not limited to - induction, coffee mornings, alumni panel sessions, and a family network. This work is informed by the PGR student voice, including through the Postgraduate Research Experience Survey (PRES). Reporting to the Deputy Head of PGR Enhancement and Development, the PGR Developer will play a key role in shaping, reviewing and enhancing researcher development provision, ensuring it remains innovative, inclusive and aligned with institutional priorities and the evolving needs of postgraduate researchers. By working collaboratively with cross-University teams including, all four academic Faculties, Centres for Doctoral Training, the Organisational & Staff Development Unit (OSDU), and the Careers Service, the post-holder will contribute to the design and development of high-quality programmes and initiatives. While some targeted delivery may be required, the primary emphasis of the role is on programme development, enhancement, and impact. This will include budget tracking, evaluation monitoring, and process enhancement. The post-holder will also be expected to work closely with the Deputy Head of PGR Enhancement & Development to support a strategic review of the Postgraduate Certificate in Researcher Professional Development (PGCert RPD). This will include contribution to the review of delivery models, timetabling, assessment and administrative processes; liaison with contributing colleagues and services; and supporting evidence based enhancements to ensure the PG Cert RPD remains operationally robust, scalable and sector leading. The ideal post-holder will have recent experience of engagement in a professional researcher development programme. Wider knowledge and experience of the researcher development landscape would be an advantage. Excellent organisational, project management and communication skills are essential, alongside the confidence to deliver training sessions to PGR students and liaise with colleagues at all levels across the institution. Experience in the design, delivery and facilitation of development activities in a research or learning environment, as well as through virtual learning environments (VLEs), is desirable. Being able to work effectively as part of a team is as important as being able to work independently in this role. The post-holder will be expected to use initiative to manage their own workload effectively, prioritising competing demands to ensure tight deadlines are met. This role is ideally suited to a recent or current postdoctoral researcher looking to broaden their experience beyond their core research field, and to contribute to the strategic development of researcher development provision in a dynamic and supportive environment.

Research Fellow in Quantum Algorithms for Chemical Reaction Networks (828923) FTE: 1 (35 hours/week) Contract type: Fixed Term (12 months) Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to develop algorithms suitable for solving Chemical Reaction Networks (CRNs) on quantum computing hardware within the quantum computing team led by Professor Jonathan Pritchard at the University of Strathclyde. Working closely with an industrial end user with expertise in quantum algorithms, and chemistry, this collaboration will design and numerically benchmark algorithms targeting new approaches to solving CRNs, with a focus on application of annealing based quantum optimisation methods. Initially this will target analysis of graph-based algorithms suitable for neutral atom quantum computers, given their potential scalability, and availability of hardware offering qubit coherence times much longer than the relevant annealing timescales, with scope to explore relevance to other hardware platforms such as superconducting qubit annealers that offer different topologies for qubit connectivity. Specifically, this project will investigate solution of simplified CRN problems by development of suitable mapping to allow encoding onto quantum hardware, and performing numerical simulations to assess the performance of direct quantum annealing as well as hybrid quantum-classical approaches. As a Research Fellow, you will engage as an independent researcher in individual and collaborative research, establishing a distinctive programme of research and disseminating results through regular publications in high impact journals, books and conference proceedings. You will apply, as Principal Investigator and/or Co Investigator, to appropriate external bodies for research funding and manage grants awarded. You will manage a research team (students and staff), providing direction, support and guidance and you will participate in and develop external networks to foster research collaborations, to inform the development of research objectives and to identify potential sources of funding. You will develop knowledge exchange activities by, for example, establishing research links with industry and influencing public policy and the professions and you will collaborate with colleagues to ensure that research advances inform departmental teaching effort, including contributing to relevant teaching programmes as appropriate. To be considered for the role, you will be educated to a minimum of PhD level with expertise in quantum algorithms, quantum simulation, or have significant relevant experience in addition to a relevant degree. You will have research interests consistent with the strategic direction of the Department/School, a body of published research in high quality publications demonstrating standards of excellence, and an ability to develop research proposals and to attract funding and research students, as appropriate to the discipline, including experience of contributing to grant applications. The Department of Physics The position will be hosted in the Department of Physics which is internationally recognised for its research excellence, industrial engagement and first class teaching programmes. The department is world leading in quantum technology research, with active programmes across quantum computing, sensing, timing and simulation spanning fundamental science to applied studies. The successful candidate will join the Neutral Atom Quantum Computing team within the Ultracold Matter and Quantum Technologies Group. While primary focus will be the delivery of the project, successful candidates will join a vibrant team working across a range of quantum computing approaches including weighted graph optimisation and error correction, with opportunities for career development. Informal enquiries can be directed to Jonathan Pritchard, Professor ().
