Subject: Hartree postdoctoral fellowships at QuICS
To: aram(a)mit.edu
Dear Aram,
I'm writing to share the announcement of our annual search for the Hartree
postdoctoral fellowship. It's an exciting time here at QuICS, with
newly-arrived faculty members Brian Swingle in physics and Xiaodi Wu in
computer science, new adjunct fellow Gorjan Alagic, and incoming Hartree
postdocs Shalev Ben-David and Aarthi Sundaram all joining the Center. I
would appreciate very much if you could pass this announcement along to
potential applicants for next year's set of Hartree Fellows.
Best,
Andrew

QuICS Hartree Postdoctoral Fellowships
The Joint Center for Quantum Information and Computer Science (QuICS,
http://quics.umd.edu) is seeking exceptional candidates for the QuICS
Hartree Postdoctoral Fellowships in Quantum Information and Computer
Science.
QuICS is a research partnership between the University of Maryland (UMD)
and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), with the
support and participation of the Research Directorate of the National
Security Agency/Central Security Service. Located at the University of
Maryland just outside of Washington, D.C., the center advances research and
education in quantum computer science and quantum information theory.
Ongoing projects at QuICS include theoretical and experimental research on
quantum algorithms, quantum complexity theory, quantum communication,
quantum error correction and fault tolerance, quantum-enhanced metrology,
quantum cryptography and quantum-secure cryptography, implementations of
quantum information processing, foundations of quantum mechanics,
applications of quantum information to physics, and more.
QuICS Postdoctoral Fellows are expected to work in close collaboration with
one or ideally more than one Center Fellows, and will have opportunities to
interact with leading computer scientists and theoretical and experimental
physicists at UMD and NIST. Successful applicants may focus on any area of
quantum information processing. Applicants are encouraged to contact QuICS
Fellows directly to inquire about current research interests.
The term of appointment is two years, with a competitive salary plus
benefits and a small stipend for research expenses. The application
deadline for full consideration is December 1, 2017, but applications may
be considered until the positions are filled. Applicants should submit a
Curriculum Vitae including a complete publication list and a two-page
Research Statement, and should arrange for three reference letters.
Applications should be submitted through AcademicJobsOnline at
https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/fellowship/9689.
The fellowships are named in honor of Douglas Hartree, who worked at NIST
in the mid 1900s and who made fundamental advances in physics and
computation.
The University of Maryland, College Park, actively subscribes to a policy
of equal employment opportunity, and will not discriminate against any
employee or applicant because of race, age, sex, color, sexual orientation,
physical or mental disability, religion, ancestry or national origin,
marital status, genetic information, or political affiliation. Minorities
and women are encouraged to apply.
