[Daniel Gottesman]

Sorry, I accidentally sent out an old draft of the ad originally.
This is the correct advertisement, also available at
<http://www.perimeterinstitute.ca/faculty-positions-quantum-information-science>.

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

Perimeter Institute 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 aspects of quantum information
related to fundamental theoretical physics. The successful applicants
will play a leading role in integrating Perimeter's quantum
information activities with the other research areas at the Institute,
such as condensed matter theory, quantum foundations, quantum fields,
holography and tensor networks. These positions are also 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 20 faculty and 16
associate faculty members, as well as 55 postdoctoral fellows, 53
distinguished visiting research chairs and 27 visiting fellows. 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 here
and in particular, the quantum information researchers can be found
here.

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, 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 will be given priority. Perimeter
Institute is committed to employment equity and diversity in the
workplace and welcomes applications from all qualified individuals
including women, visible minorities, aboriginal people, persons with
disabilities, and persons of any sexual orientation or gender
identity. Applicants who require special accommodation in order to
complete their application/interview are encouraged to contact
