Tenure-Track Faculty Position in Experimental Quantum Physics

Colorado School of Mines Assistant Professor, Experimental Quantum Physics (Fall 2026): As part of a cluster hire of three faculty in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering and Physics, the Department of Physics seeks applicants in broad areas of experimental quantum science, including quantum computing (materials, devices, architectures), quantum sensing (devices for quantum-enhanced detection, real world applications), and quantum materials (topological, correlated, superconducting). Candidates are expected to develop an externally funded research program and teach and mentor students at all levels. Mines is home to one of the nation’s first MS programs in Quantum Engineering, the new Quantum COmmons hub, CURIE at the Edgar Experimental Mine, and is a key partner in the Elevate Quantum consortium. In addition to strengthening our leadership in quantum information science and engineering, the successful candidate will have opportunities to engage in the creation of our new BS program in quantum systems engineering, the first of its kind in the US. Apply with a cover letter (2 pages), CV, research (4 pages) and teaching (2 pages) statements, and contact information for three references.
