The David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science and the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) at the University of Waterloo invites applications for one tenure-track faculty position in the area of quantum computing.
The position is for a probationary (tenure track) assistant professor; however, as circumstances warrant, an appointment with tenure at the associate or full professor level is possible. The successful applicant is expected to engage actively in graduate student supervision and teaching, to contribute to the overall development of the School and IQC, and to be, or to have demonstrated the potential to be, a leader in their research field. A PhD in computer science, or equivalent, is required. Rank and salary will be commensurate with experience; the salary range is $130,000–$180,000 and negotiations beyond this salary range will be considered for exceptionally qualified candidates. The anticipated start date is July 1, 2024; however, an alternate start date may be negotiated.
The David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science is the largest computer science school in Canada, with 115 faculty members. It enjoys an excellent reputation in theoretical and applied research and houses a diverse research program of international stature. Because of its recognized capabilities, the School attracts exceptionally well-qualified students at both undergraduate and graduate levels. In addition, the University of Waterloo has an enlightened intellectual property policy that vests all rights in the inventor.
