Dear Daniel,

We are currently seeking outstanding candidates for Hartree Postdoctoral
Fellowships at the Joint Center for Quantum Information and Computer
Science (QuICS) at the University of Maryland. I would appreciate very
much if you could let potential applicants know about this opportunity.
Please feel free to share the following announcement.

QuICS Hartree Postdoctoral Fellowships

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 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 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 any area of quantum information processing. 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 November 15, 2015, 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. Submit
applications through AcademicJobsOnline at
https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/6083.

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.
