The Department of Physics at Colorado School of Mines (Mines) has an opening for a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in the area of experimental solid state quantum devices, broadly defined. Located in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, Mines is a public R1 research university focused on applied science and engineering. The Physics department offers a B.S. degree in Engineering Physics, a M.S. degree in Applied Physics, and a Ph.D. degree in Physics. The department consists of 28 full-time faculty and hosts a large and thriving research program focusing on condensed matter and materials, quantum engineering, ultrafast optical and biological, and subatomic physics. Mines has one of the nation’s first interdisciplinary graduate programs in Quantum Engineering – the candidate for this position is expected to play a part in this growing program. For this position, the candidate should be an experimentalist with a background in Physics or a related field, with a research focus on solid state quantum devices and/or quantum information. The department is particularly interested in candidates with research interests in quantum sensing and metrology, or qubits and quantum computing, but other areas of experimental solid state quantum information science and engineering will also be considered. This position will support Mines being a top-of-mind university for students who are interested in both quantum engineering and fundamental physics. The appointment is expected to be at the tenure track Assistant Professor level, however exceptionally strong candidates at higher ranks will be considered.
Review of applications will begin on October 16th and continue until filled.
