The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering invites applications for a tenure-track position in the broad field of Quantum Information Systems and Applications at the Assistant Professor level starting September 2023. Candidates must have earned a PhD in ECE or related field at the time of appointment. They must possess excellent experimental skills and a deep theoretical background of fundamental challenges in quantum computing and information processing. We welcome applicants with a research program focused on quantum systems and their applications using non-traditional or interdisciplinary approaches. Expertise in quantum hardware and fundamental qubit technology in any current qubit modality including but not limited to: photonic qubits, superconducting qubits, spin qubits and quantum dots; will allow thefew faculty to work on many applications for quantum computing, quantum networking, quantum communications and quantum sensing. Example topics could include but are not limited to: (i) scaling of quantum processor architectures, including integration with classical architectures; (ii) engineering new methods/materials to improve qubit coherence and qubit gate fidelity; (iii) development of scalable devices and techniques for: single photon sources and detectors, quantum memories, routers, and transducers. The candidate will be expected to develop a strong externally-funded research program, must be committed to teaching undergraduate and graduate courses, and should have an understanding of diversity issues and
their educational importance. The search committee will begin reviewing applications on December 5, 2022. Applicants should apply at https://careers.umass.edu/amherst/en-us/job/516179/assistant-professor-q...
