Sorry, some of you may have noticed that I originally sent an old draft of
the advertisement. 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,

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.
