Relevant areas include (but are not limited to) quantum information processing and communication, cold atoms and molecules, quantum materials, quantum devices and sensing, in either theory or experiment. 

We seek candidates who are internationally recognized leaders in their discipline(s) with a track record of high scientific impact, research excellence, technical ability, and breadth and originality. Candidates should also have demonstrated excellence in teaching, mentoring graduate students, undergraduates, and postdoctoral researchers; and with potential to enrich the diversity and excellence of the academic community. Applicants should currently hold a tenure-track position (or equivalent) at their institution. A Ph.D. in physics or a closely related field is required.
