ASSISTANT PROFESSOR POSITION
QUANTUM INFORMATION
The Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Tennessee Knoxville (UTK) invites applications for a tenuretrack faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor in the field of Quantum Information. The appointment is expected to begin August 1 2025.
We are interested in excellent candidates in all areas of experimental and theoretical quantum information that can complement existing interdisciplinary efforts in applications of quantum computing (including those involving the use of quantum computing in machine learning nuclear high energy and quantum materials physics) and/or expand our footprint in the areas of quantum error correction fault tolerance and experimental optical quantum communication.
A strong interest in interacting with ongoing research programs at the Department is highly desirable. The Knoxville campus of the University of Tennessee is seeking candidates who can contribute in meaningful ways to the diversity and intercultural goals of the University.
Candidates should have a PhD in Physics or a closely related field at time of application and show promise in research and teaching. The successful candidate will be expected to establish an externally funded research program in the Department and provide training for Departmental undergraduate and graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. The successful candidate will also be expected to contribute to the teaching mission of the Department. Evidence of prior formal or informal teaching and outreach activities will be advantageous. In their application candidates may also describe how they will help promote students access and inclusion in their teaching and research activities.
