Cambridge, UK | Full-time | Fixed-term | 32,000 (pro rata)
About us
Riverlane’s mission is to make quantum computing useful, sooner. From climate change to healthcare, large and reliable quantum computers will help solve some of the world’s biggest challenges. Riverlane is building the quantum error correction layer to make this happen sooner. It’s a complex problem that requires a range of skills, talent and passion. We’re making remarkable progress and growing fast.
About the internship
Our full-time internships are designed to enable current students in a quantitative field to step out of their PhD research for a short time period and to translate their skills and expertise into an industrial setting. We welcome and encourage applications from people who do not have a background in quantum computing, including computer scientists, software engineers and developers. This year we are looking for candidates to apply for one of four internship projects. You can view example projects here:https://www.riverlane.com/media/pt1dyzfa/phd-internships-2024.pdf
As a Riverlane PhD intern, you will join us at our Head Office in Cambridge, UK, where you will have the opportunity to work alongside our talented teams of software developers, engineers, mathematicians, quantum information theorists, computational chemists and computational physicists all experts in their fields. Every intern will have a dedicated supervisor and will work on a pre-defined project designed to make the best use of their background and skills whilst developing their knowledge of quantum computing. We will support all interns to try and produce a concrete output by the end of the internship e.g. a paper, product, or software tool.
