(Posted on behalf of Professor Christian Schaffner, University of Amsterdam.) QuSoft, the Dutch research center for quantum software, and the Informatics Institute of the University of Amsterdam are currently seeking applications for a tenure-track and a (permanent) assistant professor position in quantum information science. The field is broadly defined and includes applications of quantum computing as may be of interest to this mailing list. The application deadline has been extended to 15 April 2022. Female candidates are particularly encouraged to apply.

QuSoft is the Dutch research Center for Quantum Software and Technology, a joint collaboration between the University of Amsterdam (UvA) and Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI). Our mission is to explore and develop uses of quantum computers and other quantum technologies for the benefit of society. Our researchers develop algorithms, protocols, software and applications that exploit the extraordinary power of quantum computers based on their quantum mechanical properties, such as superposition, interference and entanglement. That requires fundamentally different techniques and approaches from those used to develop conventional software.

The mission of the Informatics Institute (IvI) in the Faculty of Science at University of Amsterdam (UvA) is to perform curiosity-driven and use-inspired fundamental research in Computer Science. The main research themes are Artificial Intelligence, Computational Science and Systems and Network Engineering. Our research involves complex information systems at large, with a focus on collaborative, data driven, computational and intelligent systems, all with a strong interactive component.
