Here is the correct one. Please forward the following advertisement (also available at <http://www. perimeterinstitute.ca/faculty-positions-quantum-information-science>) to anyone you think might be a strong candidate for a faculty position at Perimeter Institute. Note the soft deadline of Jan. 15 (this coming Sunday). The focus is on tenure track positions, but tenured positions are also a possibility for more senior candidates. There are also positions available in condensed matter, http://www.perimeterinstitute. ca/faculty-positions-condensed-matter-theory. Daniel Gottesman Perimeter Institute invites applications for two tenure track faculty positions (equivalent to the level of assistant professor) in quantum information science. Exceptional candidates may also be considered for tenured senior faculty positions. We welcome applications from outstanding individuals working on aspects of quantum information related to fundamental theoretical physics. The successful applicants will play a leading role in integrating Perimeter's quantum information activities with the other research areas at the Institute, such as condensed matter theory, quantum foundations, quantum fields, holography and tensor networks. These positions are also part of an initiative to establish a Centre for Quantum Matter (CQM) at the Institute. As part of the CQM initiative, Perimeter is also searching to fill three tenure track faculty positions in Condensed Matter Theory <http://www.perimeterinstitute.ca/faculty-positions-condensed-matter-theory> . Perimeter Institute is a leading global centre for fundamental research in theoretical physics. The Institute offers an exceptional research environment and is currently staffed with 20 faculty and 16 associate faculty members, as well as 55 postdoctoral fellows, 53 distinguished visiting research chairs and 27 visiting fellows. It is home to world class research efforts in condensed matter physics, cosmology, mathematical physics, quantum fields and strings, quantum foundations, quantum gravity, quantum information and particle physics. More information about Perimeter Institute is available here <http://www.perimeterinstitute.ca/> and in particular, the quantum information researchers can be found here <http://www.perimeterinstitute.ca/research/research-areas/quantum-information> . The successful candidates will have a Ph.D. in theoretical physics or a closely related field, postdoctoral experience, and will have demonstrated exceptional strength in independent research. Interested candidates should submit their application online <http://www.perimeterinstitute.ca/applications/466>, including their curriculum vitae, list of publications and research statement. They must also arrange to have at least three letters of recommendations submitted as well, following the instructions provided there. Consideration of applications will begin on *January 15, 2017*. However, applications will be accepted until all positions are filled. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply, however Canadian citizens and permanent residents will be given priority. Perimeter Institute is committed to employment equity and diversity in the workplace and welcomes applications from all qualified individuals including women, visible minorities, aboriginal people, persons with disabilities, and persons of any sexual orientation or gender identity. Applicants who require special accommodation in order to complete their application/interview are encouraged to contact peopleandculture(a)perimeterinstitute.ca for assistance.
