| Position Summary: |
This position is part of a campus-wide cluster hiring initiative to expand and broaden expertise in quantum science and engineering at UW-Madison. As part of the initiative there is a new position vacancy in the Departments of Physics (PVL 241344), and two recently filled in Electrical and Computer Engineering and Materials Science & Engineering. It is anticipated that the successful candidate in physics will develop strong collaborations with the existing quantum research at UW Madison, within the Wisconsin Quantum Institute and the HQAN and Q-Next quantum centers, as well as with other hires under this cluster program, and with external research centers. Further information regarding this initiative can be found at: https://facstaff.provost.wisc.edu/cluster-hiring-initiative/
The department of Physics has strong experimental and theoretical programs in qubit devices based on neutral atoms,
quantum dots, and superconductors, as well as related areas of quantum materials, quantum optics, quantum sensors, and
quantum information theory. We are interested in candidates who will strengthen any of the above areas or establish related
research groups.
UW-Madison is seeking a diverse set of faculty candidates who will deepen our campus’ interdisciplinary research strength in key areas of current and future research promise, as well as faculty candidates who will approach their work in a manner that advances our commitment to research excellence.
|
| Principal Duties: |
The candidate will be expected to perform teaching, service duties, and continued high-impact scholarly research in the
Department of Physics. Undergraduate and graduate classroom teaching and individual instruction as well as supervision of
graduate thesis research will also be required. Professional and university service is required as appropriate.
|
| Institutional Statement on Diversity: |
Diversity is a source of strength, creativity, and innovation for UW-Madison. We value the contributions of each person and respect the profound ways their identity, culture, background, experience, status, abilities, and opinion enrich the university community. We commit ourselves to the pursuit of excellence in teaching, research, outreach, and diversity as inextricably linked goals.
The University of Wisconsin-Madison fulfills its public mission by creating a welcoming and inclusive community for people from every background - people who as students, faculty, and staff serve Wisconsin and the world.
