The Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering at Indiana University-Bloomington (IUB) invites applications for a tenure track assistant professor position in experimental Quantum Photonics and Nanoscale Optics Engineering in the Department of Intelligent Systems Engineering (ISE) to begin in August 2022. ISE is a diverse department exploring the applications of modern computing and technology across a broad range of areas, from sensors to robotics to high performance computing to bioengineering. This position is part of IUB's Emerging Areas of Research initiative that is funding significant growth in these areas through the Quantum Science and Engineering Center (IU-QSEc: https://qsec.sitehost.iu.edu/).   


Candidates should show commitment to the collaborative and transdisciplinary development of the IU-QSEc and ISE's activities in quantum information science and engineering, including, but not limited to quantum computation, simulation, sensing, and communication. 


ISE faculty are expected to develop an active, externally-funded research program.   


The successful candidate will have the opportunity to collaborate with existing efforts in multi-functional structured optical fibers for Quantum Interconnects (QuIC) (https://fames.indiana.edu/), conventional and quantum networks, and quantum simulation with both trapped atoms and ions (https://ultracold.physics.indiana.edu, https://iontrap.physics.indiana.edu/).   


We seek candidates committed to excellence in teaching courses of interest to a broad range of both undergraduate and graduate engineering students and whose teaching fosters diversity and inclusion. 


Duties will include research, teaching multi-level courses both online and in person, participating in course design and assessment, and service to the School. 


The Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering is the first of its kind and among the largest in the country, with unsurpassed breadth. Its mission is to excel and lead in education, research, and outreach spanning and integrating computing and information technologies. In addition to ISE, the School includes the departments of Computer Science, Informatics, and Information and Library Science, and it has a total of more than 140 faculty, 1,000 graduate students, and 1,800 undergraduate majors on the Bloomington campus.


Salary will be commensurate with education and experience. Indiana University provides a comprehensive benefits program for full-time appointed employees. Coverage for core benefit plans, such as Basic Life Insurance and a base retirement plan, are entirely paid by the University.
