Quantum Sensing Theory for Cosmology

Fully funded PhD in theoretical physics under the supervision of Dr. Sebastian Ellis in the areas of theoretical particle physics, cosmology and quantum sensing. The successful candidate will undertake a PhD in theoretical particle physics/cosmology, with primary topics of research being the investigation and development of quantum sensing protocols for the detection of dark matter and gravitational waves. The applicant will need to have substantial knowledge and experience of Quantum Mechanics, Quantum Field Theory, Electromagnetism and General Relativity. There will be opportunities for the successful applicant to conduct research with other members of the King's College London Theoretical Particle Physics and Cosmology (TPPC) Group. The studentships are funded for 3.5 years and include tuition fees, a stipend at the UK Research Council rate plus London weighting, and allowance for research consumables and travel.
