PhD in Computer Science

Applications are invited for a DPhil studentship in the quantum tomography of electronic states, available from October 2026, to work under the supervision of Professor Adam Kirrander in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Oxford. The studentship will cover course fees at a Home rate and provide a stipend of no less than the standard UK Research Council rate (currently set at £20,780 p.a.) for 3.5 years. Research in the Kirrander group explores sophisticated light-matter interactions, via theory and simulations, to measure quantum dynamics in atoms and molecules. The project aims to explore new ideas for how quantum tomography, combining multiple measurements and new types of measurements, can help us create a more complete picture of the electron wavefunction.
