About The Position

Florida State University (FSU) is embarking on an ambitious faculty hiring initiative in Quantum Science and Engineering (QSE), recognizing the potential of QSE to revolutionize such sectors as computation, material science, cryptography, and artificial intelligence. The College of Arts and Sciences at FSU and the joint College of Engineering at Florida A&M University (FAMU) and FSU are inviting applications for multiple, open-rank, tenure-track or tenured positions in QSE. Successful applicants will be appointed to a mutually agreed upon department, with joint appointments between departments and colleges being possible. More details can be found at http://quantum.fsu.edu/. Successful applicants will be expected to develop and nurture research programs that will be internationally recognized, to attract and sustain external funding, to incorporate interdisciplinary collaboration with researchers across campus, and to demonstrate a strong commitment to excellence in education. Expectations will also include teaching undergraduate and graduate level courses, mentoring undergraduate, graduate, and post-doctoral researchers, and engaging in college and professional service. FSU has made bold recent investments in QSE, creating an interdisciplinary FSU Quantum Initiative (https://quantum.fsu.edu). The mission of FSU Quantum is to accelerate the discovery of novel quantum phenomena that can impact the design of engineered systems for quantum information processing, communication, sensing, and algorithms, as well as devices and hardware that rely on quantum protocols. In alignment with the FSU Quantum mission, we seek to fill multiple tenure-track or tenured positions in two broadly defined QSE areas: Quantum Devices: Seeking individuals specializing in quantum devices, hardware, and measurements. Areas of interest encompass quantum materials and devices, quantum optics, advanced spectroscopy, microscopy, and other quantum device fabrication and characterization techniques. Quantum Theory: Seeking individuals in the domains of quantum information, theory, and computation. Those keen on utilizing and developing cutting-edge theoretical, computational, and architectural techniques relevant to QSE are encouraged to apply.
