Position Description
Perimeter Institute invites applications for one or more tenure-track faculty positions (equivalent to the level of assistant professor) in quantum information science. Exceptional candidates may also be considered for a tenured senior faculty position. We welcome applications from outstanding individuals working on aspects of quantum information related to fundamental physics. The successful applicant will play a leading role in integrating Perimeter's quantum information activities with other research areas at the Institute such as quantum matter theory, quantum foundations, quantum fields and strings, holography, and machine learning. This position will in part be related to the Clay Riddell Centre for Quantum Matter at Perimeter, as well as the Perimeter Institute Quantum Intelligence Lab.Perimeter
Institute is a leading global centre for fundamental research in theoretical
physics. It is home to world-class research efforts in condensed matter theory,
cosmology, mathematical physics, quantum fields and strings, quantum
foundations, quantum gravity, quantum information, and particle physics. The
Institute offers an exceptional research environment and is currently staffed
with 26 Research Faculty (including 8 Perimeter Research Chairs), three Teaching Faculty, one Outreach Faculty, 22 Research Associate
Faculty (including one Perimeter Research Chair), 41 Distinguished
Visiting Research Chairs, 72 Postdoctoral Researchers, and 61 Visiting Fellows. The Institute’s very active
visitor, seminar, conference, and workshop programs attract over 1,000 visitors
each year Visit www.perimeterinstitute.ca for more information and to view the list of Perimeter Institute quantum information researchers.
The successful candidate will have a PhD in theoretical physics or a closely related field as well as postdoctoral experience and will have demonstrated exceptional strength in independent research.
Interested candidates should submit their application online, including their:
- curriculum vitae
- research statement
- list of publications
- equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) statement (describing your experience and plans for creating/advancing a culture of equity and inclusion within the discipline).
- At least three letters of recommendation (please follow the instructions provided on the application page)
Consideration of applications will begin on January 18, 2023. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
