Dear Joe,

As you may know, we have recently started a new Joint Center for Quantum 
Information and Computer Science (QuICS) at the University of Maryland. 
  We have postdoc positions available, and I would appreciate very much 
if you could let potential candidates know about this opportunity. 
Please feel free to share the following announcement.

Best,
Andrew


The Joint Center for Quantum Information and Computer Science (QuICS, 
http://quics.umd.edu) is seeking exceptional candidates for the QuICS 
Hartree Postdoctoral Fellowships in Quantum Information and Computer 
Science.

QuICS is a research partnership between the University of Maryland (UMD) 
and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), with the 
support and participation of the Research Directorate of the National 
Security Agency/Central Security Service. Located at the University of 
Maryland 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 key distribution, post-quantum cryptography, and 
more.

QuICS Postdoctoral Fellows are expected to work in close collaboration 
with one or ideally more than one Center Fellows, and will have 
opportunities to interact with leading computer scientists and 
theoretical and experimental physicists at UMD and NIST. Successful 
applicants may focus on quantum information, quantum complexity, 
post-quantum cryptography, quantum algorithms, quantum communication, or 
a related area. Applicants are encouraged to contact QuICS Fellows 
directly to inquire about current research interests.

The term of appointment is two years, with a competitive salary plus 
benefits and a small stipend for research expenses. The application 
deadline for full consideration is December 30, 2014, but applications 
may be considered until the positions are filled. Applicants should 
submit a Curriculum Vitae including a complete publication list and a 
two-page Research Statement, and should arrange for three reference 
letters to be sent to quicspostdoc15 at umiacs.umd.edu.

The fellowships are named in honor of Douglas Hartree, who worked at 
NIST in the mid 1900s and who made fundamental advances in physics and 
computation.

The University of Maryland, College Park, actively subscribes to a 
policy of equal employment opportunity, and will not discriminate 
against any employee or applicant because of race, age, sex, color, 
sexual orientation, physical or mental disability, religion, ancestry or 
national origin, marital status, genetic information, or political 
affiliation. Minorities and women are encouraged to apply.
