$110,000 - $217,100/Yr
Full-time • Entry Level
Colorado Springs, CO

The Colorado School of Mines, a public R1 research university focused on applied science and engineering, is excited to announce three faculty positions in Quantum Science and Engineering. These hires, one each in the departments of Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, and Physics, will expand our research in quantum information science, support the launch of a new Bachelor of Science program in Quantum Systems Engineering, and strengthen our existing Master of Science in Quantum Engineering, one of the oldest in the nation. The candidate needs to apply separately to each position they feel qualified for. The Department of Computer Science invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in the broadly defined area of Quantum Computing, with an anticipated start in Fall 2026. While we expect to hire at the Assistant Professor level, exceptional candidates may also be considered at a higher rank. We seek a creative and ambitious researcher whose work complements and expands our strengths in computer science and applied interdisciplinary engineering. Candidates whose research bridges multiple subfields, connects with industry or national laboratories, or integrates experimental and theoretical approaches are especially encouraged to apply. Areas of interest include: Quantum computer architectures (hybrid quantum-classical computing systems, secure and scalable design of quantum computing platforms); Quantum algorithms and applications (quantum algorithm development, integration of domain-specific approaches and emerging workloads with quantum computers); Fault tolerance and error mitigation for quantum (resource-efficient fault-tolerant architectures, fault-tolerant quantum algorithms, security protocols for reliable and resilient quantum computation); Quantum software and programming languages (software tools for quantum circuit optimization, simulation, and verification; high-level languages and compilers for quantum computing).

  • Develop and maintain a vigorous, externally funded research program that relates to and supports quantum computing.
  • Develop and teach courses that are valuable to undergraduate and graduate students, both within Computer Science and across Mines.
  • Supervise and mentor undergraduate and graduate students in research and coursework, including through the expanding quantum programs at Mines.
  • Contribute both institutionally and professionally through active service.
  • Ph.D. from an accredited program in Computer Science or a closely related field relevant to the search areas by the time the appointment begins.
  • Demonstrated potential for excellence in research, teaching, and student mentorship.
  • Evidence of interdisciplinary collaboration or engagement with quantum science and technology.
  • Associate and Full Professor candidates must have an established and currently funded program with clear potential for continuance, and a proven track record of success in teaching, research, and service.
  • Full Professor candidates should have an established international reputation.
  • Flexible health and dental care options
  • Generous sick/vacation time: 13 paid holidays per year – including a week-long winter break for entire campus
  • Fully vested retirement plan on first day of employment, with generous employer contribution
  • Tuition benefits (6 credits per year for employees, 50 percent discount for dependents)
  • Free RTD Ecopass for transportation throughout the Denver Metro area
  • Access to discount programs through the State of Colorado
  • Free tickets for Mines Athletics home games
  • Access to the state-of-the-art Recreation Center (fitness classes and training, swimming pool and more)
  • Access to on-campus daycare center
