Visiting Fellow

Phasecraft is the quantum algorithms company. We are building the mathematical foundations for quantum computing applications that solve real-world problems. Founded in 2019 by Toby Cubitt, Ashley Montanaro and John Morton, we are based in London and Bristol, UK. In 2023 we completed a £13m Series A funding round led by leading Silicon Valley deep tech VC, Playground Global, and in 2024 we opened our Washington DC office led by Steve Flammia.

Phasecraft's unprecedented access to today's best quantum computers - through partnerships with Google, IBM, Rigetti, and QuEra - provides us with unique opportunities to develop foundational IP, inform the development of next-generation quantum hardware, and accelerate commercialisation of high-value breakthroughs.

Phasecraft Visiting Fellows share our team's goal of making fundamental discoveries that accelerate the development of applied quantum computing. Visiting Fellows will spend an extended period of time (typically around 3 months) at Phasecraft. As full members of the team they conduct research, collaborate with colleagues, lead seminars, and are invited to take part in all company activities. Phasecraft Visiting Fellows retain their positions at their home institutions.

The Phasecraft Fellowship is a fully funded position with a competitive salary. Travel and accommodation costs are fully covered for the duration of the fellowship.

Requirements We welcome applications from scientists working in all areas of quantum computing and quantum information who have an interest in applications of quantum computing and near term quantum advantage. Applications from outstanding researchers in related fields will also be considered. Visiting Fellows will have completed their PhD and typically have an established research track record in the field.
