Professor (All Ranks) Quantum Science and Engineering

The Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University (ASU) and the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering seek applicants for a tenure-track or tenured faculty position in the area of Quantum Engineering. The School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering, one of the eight Fulton Schools, houses a vibrant electrical engineering research community (Learn more at https://research.engineering.asu.edu/ ). We seek applicants who complement our abilities in these areas to solve grand challenges as part of a community of experts. Particular areas of interest include, but are not limited to, Quantum Computing, Quantum Simulation, Quantum Information Theory, Quantum Machine Learning, Quantum Control, Quantum Error Correction and Noise Mitigation, Quantum Sensors, Quantum Networks, Quantum Communications, Quantum Optics, and Quantum Chaos.

We emphasize that ASU has recently become an IBM Quantum Hub which will provide privileged access and expanded opportunities for quantum research and education innovations.  As an IBM Quantum Hub, ASU is building on its existing services available to researchers and gaining access to a community of organizations in the IBM Quantum Network. The IBM Quantum Network can provide additional assets to support ASU’s existing educational resources including access to technical enablement designed to support researchers on IBM systems. ASU will leverage IBM Quantum systems & Quantum Network to advance scientific discovery.

We seek applicants who will contribute to our academic programs, promote transdisciplinary teaching and research, and help the university to achieve its aspirations, including enabling student success, transforming society, valuing entrepreneurship and conducting use-inspired research. Faculty members in the Fulton Schools of Engineering are expected to develop an internationally recognized and externally funded research program, adopt effective pedagogical practices in the development and delivery of graduate and undergraduate courses, advise both undergraduate and graduate student research and projects, and undertake service activities. 

This search is part of ASU’s engagement with Arizona’s New Economy Initiative (NEI) , a bold effort to ensure that Arizona leads the new economy that will rely on engineering, computing and technology to drive sustainable growth, resilience and opportunities for all. NEI investments in the Fulton Schools of Engineering will grow our world-class faculty to accelerate research outcomes and to broaden student access to our programs; support Science and Technology Centers to foster the growth of new economy Industries; and expand experiential learning and workforce training opportunities.

Appointment will be at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor rank commensurate with the candidate’s experience and accomplishments, beginning August 2024.  Although the tenure home may be in any of the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering, the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering is currently the most involved in the interest of this research.
