[quantum-info] Faculty positions in Quantum Information Science at Perimeter Institute

[Daniel Gottesman]

Note: soft deadline of Jan. 15 (this coming Sunday).

The Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics invites applications for
two tenure track faculty positions (equivalent to the level of assistant
professor) in quantum information science.  Exceptional candidates may
also be considered for tenured senior faculty positions.  We welcome
applications from outstanding individuals working on [interesting buzz
words go here] and all related fields.  The successful applicants will
play a leading role in integrating Perimeter's quantum information
activities with other related research areas such as condensed matter
theory, quantum foundations and tensor networks. These positions are part
of an initiative to establish a Centre for Quantum Matter (CQM) at the
institute.  As part of the CQM initiative, Perimeter is also searching to
fill three tenure track faculty positions in Condensed Matter Theory.

Perimeter Institute is a leading global centre for fundamental research in
theoretical physics. The Institute offers an exceptional research
environment and is currently staffed with 23 faculty and 14 associate
faculty members. It is home to world class research efforts in condensed
matter physics, cosmology, mathematical physics, quantum fields and
strings, quantum foundations, quantum gravity, quantum information and
particle physics. More information about Perimeter Institute is available
at www.perimeterinstitute.ca.

The successful candidates will have a Ph.D. in theoretical physics or a
closely related field, postdoctoral experience, and will have demonstrated
exceptional strength in independent research. Interested candidates should
submit their application online [link], including their curriculum vitae,
list of publications and research statement. They must also arrange to
have at least three letters of recommendations submitted as well,
following the instructions provided there.

Consideration of applications will begin on January 15, 2017. However,
applications will be accepted until all positions are filled.

All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadian
citizens and permanent residents of Canada will be given priority.  The
Perimeter Institute is committed to an Employment Equity Program that
includes special measures to achieve diversity among its faculty and
staff.  We therefore particularly encourage applications from qualified
aboriginal Canadians, persons with disabilities and members of visible
minorities and women.
