Subject: Faculty positions at QuICS

Dear Daniel,

We are currently searching for new QuICS Fellows who could join our Center
either through one of the ongoing faculty searches at the University of
Maryland or as researchers at NIST with adjunct faculty appointments at
UMD. Faculty searches at UMD include an open-rank search in CS and
multiple Brin Chairs in Theoretical Computer Science. Quantum information
is a particular area of interest for both of these searches, and at NIST.
I would appreciate if you could share these positions with any potential
candidates, and also if you could send the name of anyone you think we
should especially ancourage to apply.

Let me also take this opportunity to remind you that we have an ongoing
search for Hartree Postdoctoral Fellows, with a deadline of December 1.
Candidates can learn more about the positions and apply at
https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/14493.

Thanks for your help with getting the word out! Of course I am happy to
answer any questions about the positions.

Best,
Andrew

The Joint Center for Quantum Information and Computer Science (QuICS) is
currently seeking outstanding quantum information researchers to join the
Center faculty as QuICS Fellows. QuICS is a research partnership between
the University of Maryland (UMD) and the National Institute of Standards
and Technology (NIST), with faculty from both institutions. Accordingly,
applicants will be considered for tenure-track positions at UMD, and those
who are US citizens may also be considered for permanent employment as
researchers at NIST.

Located at the University of Maryland, College Park, just outside of
Washington, D.C., the Center advances research and education in quantum
computer science and quantum information theory. Ongoing projects at QuICS
include theoretical and experimental research on quantum algorithms,
quantum complexity theory, quantum communication, quantum error correction
and fault tolerance, quantum-enhanced metrology, quantum cryptography and
quantum-secure cryptography, implementations of quantum information
processing, foundations of quantum mechanics, applications of quantum
information to physics, and more.

QuICS Fellows are expected to lead externally funded research groups and
carry out cutting-edge research on quantum information. The QuICS Fellows
work together to set the direction of the Center, including a robust
visitor program, frequent conferences and workshops, Center-funded
fellowships for outstanding graduate students and postdoctoral scholars,
and courses on quantum information topics.

Interested candidates are encouraged to apply to one or more of the
relevant faculty searches at the University of Maryland, which include the
following:

* Open rank faculty positions, Department of Computer Science
(https://www.cs.umd.edu/job/2019/125318-open-rank)

* Brin Family Endowed Professorships in Theoretical Computer Science
(https://www.cs.umd.edu/job/2019/125319-professor-brin-family-foundation)

Candidates should also email quics-coordinator at umiacs.umd.edu indicating
their interest in being considered as a possible QuICS Fellow and
specifying the search(es) to which they have applied.
