University at Albany
Assistant Professor in Algebraic Methods with Potential Applications to Quantum
University at Albany, Albany, New York, United States
Assistant Professor in Algebraic Methods with Potential Applications to Quantum Computing or a Related Field (Simons Empire Faculty Fellow)
The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University at Albany (State University of New York) seeks to hire a tenure-track Assistant Professor in algebraic methods with potential applications to quantum computing or a related field, to begin in Fall 2026.
Successful applicants for this position must demonstrate a strong foundation in areas of algebra, such as category theory, computational algebraic geometry, algebraic number theory, algebraic statistics, or a related area. We are seeking a scholar with theoretical expertise in fundamental mathematics areas whose work bridges real‑world applications related to quantum or neuromorphic computing. Examples of such applications include post‑quantum cryptography, quantum information theory, and quantum complexity theory.
We seek a colleague who will establish a dynamic research program that bridges advances in pure mathematics with real‑world applications. The position is expected to complement and extend current departmental strengths in data science, artificial intelligence, representation theory, commutative algebra, algebraic geometry, number theory, and complexity theory.
The successful hire will also be positioned to collaborate with university‑wide initiatives such as the AI Plus Institute, as well as with colleagues in Physics and Nanoscale Science and Engineering, developing new interdisciplinary research directions.
