University of Waterloo

Applications are invited for one tenure-track faculty position at the 
rank of Assistant Professor and in special cases Associate or Full 
Professor, at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC). This position 
can be held in any of the departments and schools connected to IQC: 
Applied Mathematics, Pure Mathematics, Combinatorics and Optimization, 
Electrical and Computer Engineering, Chemistry, Physics & Astronomy, and 
the Cheriton School of Computer Science. The anticipated start date will 
be September 1, 2024.

A PhD and significant evidence of excellence in research in quantum 
information science and technology and the potential for effective 
teaching are required. Responsibilities include the supervision of 
graduate students and teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels. 
Based on qualifications, an annual salary range of $100,000 to $155,000 
will be considered. Negotiations beyond this annual salary range will be 
considered for exceptionally qualified candidates. The search is open to 
all areas of quantum information that connect with the goals and ongoing 
research at IQC. We are especially interested in candidates working in:

  * Quantum error correction, fault tolerance, and related areas,
  * Theory connected to experiment, and
  * Experimental Optical Quantum Communication.

However, excellent candidates in all areas, both theory and experiment, 
will be fully considered. Demonstrated experience connecting theory and 
experiment is a plus, as is an innovative mindset towards quantum 
technologies.

IQC is a collaborative research institute at the University of Waterloo 
focused on quantum information science and technology, ranging from the 
theory of quantum information to practical applications. At present, IQC 
has a complement of 30 faculty members, 47 postdoctoral fellows and 200 
graduate students from the Faculties of Engineering, Mathematics and 
Science. Membership in IQC is renewable and comes with research space, a 
teaching reduction of one course per year, and a stipend. Information 
about research at IQC can be found

Full consideration for these positions is assured only for applications 
received by December 1, 2023. Interested individuals should upload their 
application via the faculty application form 
at_https://uwaterloo.ca/institute-for-quantum-computing/available-positions_and
