The Departments of Physics and Mathematics at Syracuse University invite applications to fill multiple faculty positions in the field of quantum information science, broadly defined. Faculty will join the newly established Institute for Quantum and Information Sciences, an interdisciplinary effort which spans multiple departments in the College of Arts and Sciences and in the College of Engineering.

The hiring priority in Physics includes all fields of experimental research related to quantum and information science, broadly defined. This includes, but is not limited to, research in: quantum optics and photonics; atomic, molecular, and optical physics; and quantum sensing and networking. Applicants interested in these areas should apply for the open position here: https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/30636

The hiring priority in Mathematics includes all fields of theoretical research related to the mathematics of quantum science, broadly defined. This includes, but is not limited to, research in: the mathematics of quantum field theory and gravitation at the intersection with quantum science; the analysis of quantum algorithms, codes and entanglement structures; and related topics in algebraic and differential geometry, topology, and representation theory. Applicants interested in these areas should apply for the open position here: https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/list/27104

The successful applicant will demonstrate the ability to lead an outstanding independent research program, the ability to teach and mentor students at both the undergraduate and graduate level, and a commitment to active participation in the departmental and university communities.

Syracuse University is fully committed to fostering a community that is welcoming to all. In the classroom and across campus, our commitment is rooted in the belief that multiple points of view, life experiences and backgrounds are essential to academic excellence.
