Assistant / Associate Professor, Quantum Information Science and Engineering - 230000021W
Assistant / Associate Professor, Quantum Information Science and Engineering University of Tennessee, Chattanooga
In 2022, The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) launched an institutional initiative in Quantum Information Technology with the goal to establish a program known for excellence in education, innovation, and economic development enabled by Quantum Technology (QT). Based on progress achieved to date, we seek to fill several positions as we evolve the initiative into a Quantum Center within the UTC Research Institute . The initiative is the focal point for cross-disciplinary teams performing applied research and development (R&D) and delivering an effective education program of great value to students and individuals already in the workforce. Of particular interest are use cases of QT in advanced energy systems, and in smart city applications. The initiative will expand on and add to the quantum sensing effort that was launched in 2022/23 by Dr. Tian Li. Part of our Quantum R&D and educational infrastructure is a lab located on the UTC campus, connected to the EPB Quantum Network powered by Qubitekk . This lab is equipped with a Quantum Network Interface Console, an 8-channel Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Detector (SNSPD), 3 quantum entanglement sources (two at 1570 nm, one at 810 nm), and optical hardware for quantum optics experiments both at 810 nm and 1570 nm. The initiative has strong ties to Departments and Programs in STEM (e.g., Mathematics, Physics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering) and non-STEM (e.g., Communications, Sociology, Economics, Entrepreneurship), and it will advance collaborations with partners in the Chattanooga ecosystem, in academia, industry, and national labs such as the nearby Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The Quantum Initiative invites applications for two faculty appointments at the Assistant or Associate Professor level in QISE available to experts in Quantum Networking, Computing or Sensing. Successful applicants will be expected to engage in collaborations that advance Quantum Technology use cases in key areas such as Smart Cities or Advanced Energy Systems.
