Professorship for Quantum Computing (open rank)
Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Faculty of Computer Science; Bochum, Germany
The Faculty of Computer Science at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum, one of Germany’s leading research universities, invites applications for a HORST-GÖRTZ-FOUNDATION-ENDOWED PROFESSORSHIP for Quantum Computing (m/f/d) (Open Rank: W3 tenured or W2 tenure track to W3) that is to be filled at the earliest possible date.
Successful applicants should demonstrate an outstanding track record, with a focus on any research area within quantum computing, such as, but not limited to, the following areas:
- Quantum algorithms and complexity theory
- Quantum and post-quantum cryptography
- Quantum learning and information theory
- Applications of future quantum computers
We are looking for a scientist with an internationally visible research profile who is willing to play a leading role in current and planned projects, complementing existing strengths for establishing quantum computing as a focus area at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum, especially at the Cluster of Excellence "CASA: Cyber Security in the Age of Large-Scale Adversaries" and the Horst Görtz Institute (a research department of the Ruhr-Universität Bochum).
The responsibilities of the future chair holder include participation in teaching in the study programs of the faculty. The prerequisites are excellent scientific qualifications, usually proven by a doctorate of outstanding quality and top international publications. Furthermore, a positive evaluation as a junior professor, habilitation, or equivalent academic achievement is required, as well as evidence of particular suitability for academic teaching and a willingness to participate in academic self-administration. We also expect: a high level of commitment to excellence in research and teaching; an ability to direct research work of the highest quality; a willingness to engage in interdisciplinary scientific work; a willingness and proven ability to attract (significant, in case of W3) third-party funded research projects and a willingness to participate in existing research collaborations.
The application deadline is Nov 10, 2024.
