Job Summary

The Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, in collaboration with the School of Materials Engineering, invites applications for an assistant/associate professor at Purdue University, seeking to attract exceptional candidates with interests and expertise in Quantum Information Science and Engineering (QISE). Target areas of interest include experimental or theoretical studies in quantum photonics, quantum integrated circuits, quantum sensing, quantum networking, and quantum computing. Successful candidates must hold a Ph.D. degree in electrical/material engineering or a related discipline by the employment start date and demonstrate potential to build an independent research program, as well as potential to educate and mentor students. The successful candidate will conduct original research, advise graduate students, teach undergraduate and graduate level courses, and perform service at the School, College, and University levels.

QISE strives to harness the defining quantum mechanical properties of superposition and entanglement to provide breakthrough advances for computing, sensing, secure communications, and novel device functionalities. As such, these new faculty positions come at a time when the College leaderships have committed to significant investment in QISE. Both Schools are especially seeking to enhance our existing strengths in research at the interface of physical sciences (Chemistry, Physics and Materials) in tandem with Computer Science and Mathematics, and Engineering through strategic hiring of creative scientists and engineers to be part of the cutting-edge interdisciplinary environment at Purdue University, which has recently launched a new major initiative, Purdue Computes, that supports and connects computing, AI, semiconductors and quantum. The QISE community at Purdue will further benefit from the resources and support in Purdue University's Discovery Park and its interdisciplinary centers, particularly the Purdue Quantum Science and Engineering Institute (PQSEI) and Birck Nanotechnology Center (BNC).
