Tenured Faculty Position in Quantum Sensing at Indiana University
About the role
As part of a major, multi-year effort to expand research activities in Quantum Information Science through the Faculty 100 initiative, the College of Arts and Sciences at IU Bloomington invites applications for a tenured position at the Associate or Full Professor rank to begin in the Fall of 2027. Appointment will be in the Department of Physics. We are particularly interested in applicants working in the areas of quantum sensing and quantum detection experiments, especially those who intend to establish a tabletop or benchtop research lab at IU Bloomington. Candidates who conduct experimental research complementing our activities in atomic/molecular/optical physics, quantum information science and technology, quantum photonics, precision measurement, nuclear and particle physics, or quantum sensing for biophysics/biomedical sciences will be given preference. We encourage applications from scholars who apply interdisciplinary perspectives across a variety of these domains, who may collaborate with colleagues across the IU Quantum Science & Engineering Center, the Center for Exploration of Energy and Matter, or the multi-institutional Center for Quantum Technologies.
