Job announcements relevant to people interested in electronic structure calculations…
Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.

Description
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. In 2020 we completed a record £3.7m seed round for a quantum computing company in the UK, led by VC firm LocalGlobe.
Phasecraft’s unprecedented access to today’s best quantum computers – through partnerships with Google, IBM, and Rigetti – provides us with unique opportunities to develop foundational IP, inform the development of next-generation quantum hardware, and accelerate commercialisation of high-value breakthroughs.
We are looking to hire a quantum computational chemist / physicist / materials scientist to join our team. The ideal candidate will have experience in the theory and/or implementation of quantum chemistry techniques such as DMRG, AFQMC, FCIQMC, VMC, DMFT, DFT, etc. for accurate and efficient quantum simulation of materials chemistry; or otherwise strong evidence of potential to contribute to these areas. Their work will initially focus on these topics, though they will have the opportunity to grow a portfolio of research activity across the breadth of Phasecraft’s interests. A background in quantum computing is desirable though not necessarily required.
Job Description
Phasecraft operates a hybrid working pattern and this role can be based either in Bristol or London, depending on the candidate.
Requirements
Essential criteria:
o ab initio electronic structure methods for the simulation of materials chemistry (periodic, aperiodic or embedded techniques)
o theory and/or implementation of beyond-DFT, post Hartree-Fock, Quantum Monte Carlo or Embedding Methods.
