Postdoctoral Fellow

University of New Mexico

Center for Quantum Information and Control (CQuIC)

The Center for Quantum Information and Control at the University of New
Mexico invites applications for Postdoctoral Fellowships in theoretical
quantum information science (QIS)  as part of the National Science
Foundation’s Focused Research Hub in Theoretical Physics (FRHTP).  

CQuIC  is an interdisciplinary QIS research center, with participating
faculty from physics, chemistry, electrical engineering, and computer
science.  CQuIC’s research covers a broad range of foundational and applied
investigations on topics including quantum computation, control,
measurement, communication, and simulation.   CQuIC is an active participant
in the multi-institutional centers, newly launched under the National
Quantum Initiative (NQI), including the NSF Quantum Leap Challenge
Institute, “Quantum Systems through Entangled Science and Engineering”
(Q-SEnSE), and the DOE “Quantum Systems Accelerator” (QSA).   As a QIS
“theory hub” CQuIC brings together community through hosting visitors,
seminars, hot-topics workshops, and as the scientific home of the well-known
Southwest Quantum Information and Technology (SQuInT) network.

FRHTP Postdoctoral Fellows will have the opportunity to pursue independent
lines of research, to work with CQuIC faculty members, and to interact with
leading researchers at CQuIC’s partner institutions, including nearby Sandia
National Laboratories, Los Alamos National Laboratory, industrial partner
Honeywell Quantum Solutions, and collaborators at NQI Centers. Q-SEnSE and
the QSA.  Fellows also participate in CQuIC’s hub activities, including
hot-topics workshops and SQuInT. 

A successful applicant must have completed all requirements for a Ph.D. in a
discipline related to QIS by the time of employment. Candidates should have:

  i. A demonstrated record of accomplishment in QIS and potential for
     research accomplishment at CQuIC
  ii. Potential to contribute to center-wide research-training and FRHTP “hub
     activities”
  iii. Potential to work productively with CQuIC faculty and partners
  iv. Specific interest in CQuIC research areas
  v. A commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and student success, as
     well as working with broadly diverse communities

The initial term of appointment is two years with the possibility of
extension to a third year, with a starting salary of at least $67,000 per
year plus benefits and a substantial stipend for domestic and international
travel and other expenses.  Located in the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico,
the Center has contributed to research and education in quantum information
theory for over 25 years. Albuquerque offers a rich cultural environment in
a low cost-of-living city, with beautiful weather, hiking, nearby skiing,
and other many other outdoor activities.

Applicants must apply at UNMJobs (https://unmjobs.unm.edu)  req16602;
applicants should submit a CV (including list of publications) and a cover
letter that clearly addresses points (i)-(v) above in the criteria for
successful application.  The cover letter should specify the names,
affiliations, and e-mail addresses of three references, and ask each of
their references to submit a letter of recommendation to cquic at unm.edu. 
Applicants must also submit a detailed statement of interest with a proposal
for research as an FRTP Postdoctoral Fellow.

The University of New Mexico is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action
employer and educator. CQuIC is committed to assembling a diverse work force
of researchers in quantum information science. Qualified women and
minorities are strongly encouraged to apply.

Review of applications will commence on November 1, 2021, but applications
will be considered until the positions are filled.
