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.

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). 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 the possibility of extension for
a third year, with a competitive salary plus benefits and a small stipend
for research expenses. The application deadline for full consideration is
December 1, 2018, 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. Applications should be submitted
through AcademicJobsOnline at
https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/11805.

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.
