QUROPE Quantum Information Processing and Communication in Europe

Location

Applications are invited for two posts in the Quantum Cryptography team at Toshiba Research Europe in Cambridge.

The first role concerns R&D of next-generation quantum cryptography networks and will be conducted in collaboration with the Toshiba R&D Center in Tokyo. Candidates should have practical working experience and demonstrated achievement in optics, electronics and/or programming in C/C++.

The second role concerns experimental verification of quantum cryptographic systems towards industrial standardization, in collaboration with the European Telecommunications Standards Institute. Prior experience of fibre optical systems and/or working with standardisation bodies would be an advantage.

Candidates for either post should hold a degree or PhD in Physics, Electronic Engineering, Computer Science, or a related discipline. Prior knowledge of quantum cryptography is not necessary.

Early applications are encouraged. Applicants should state clearly the role for which they are applying and send a covering letter, CV and contact details of three referees to:
