The Department of Computer Science at Royal Holloway is looking to appoint multiple academic members of staff to support its research and teaching.

We carry out outstanding research and deliver excellent teaching at both undergraduate and postgraduate level: we ranked 11thin the Research Excellence Framework (REF 2014) for the quality of our research output, and in teaching we are typically in the top 10 in the UK for graduate prospects (e.g., Guardian 2022).

Over the past seven years, we have undertaken an ambitious plan of expansion: eighteen new academic members of staff were appointed, new undergraduate and integrated-masters programmes were created, and multiple new postgraduate-taught programmes were launched. We have strong research groups in the broad areas of Intelligent Systems, Machine Learning, Algorithms and Complexity, and Programming Languages and Systems, as well as good connections with the Information Security Group. We are also involved in multiple inter/multidisciplinary activities, from electrical engineering to psychology and social sciences. Our research strength generates significant interest and collaborative opportunity from universities and third stream partners.

Recently, Royal Holloway launched a research catalyst Advanced Quantum Science and Technologies, with multiple connections to Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics, and the Information Security Group, and the Computer Science department is seeking to strengthen its research activities via increased engagement in the catalyst.

We are therefore recruiting academic members of staff with research expertise in Quantum Computing, to complement and extend the departments research profile. We welcome applicants with expertise in any area of quantum computing, including but not limited to quantum algorithms, quantum information theory, quantum simulation, and potential application areas such as quantum linear algebra and quantum machine learning. We also welcome exceptional candidates from all disciplines in Computer Science, who can contribute to the new catalysts.

The successful candidate will help us seek and seize opportunities for research funding and industrial engagement. They will hold a PhD or equivalent, and will have a proven research record with a solid background in the underlying theory. Experience in attracting funding, engaging with industry, or contributing to outreach activities would also be valuable.

The appointee will be expected to contribute across the full range of departmental activities, including undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and the supervision of mainstream projects over a wide range of topics. In particular, duties and responsibilities of this post include: conducting individual or collaborative research projects; producing high-quality outputs for publication in high-profile journals or conference proceedings; applying for research funding; delivering high-quality teaching to all levels of students; supervising research postgraduate students.

This is a full-time and permanent (tenured) post, available from April 2022or as soon as possible thereafter. The post is based in Egham, Surrey, within commuting distance from London, Europes most dynamic technology hub.

In return we offer a highly competitive rewards and benefits package including:
