Assistant Professor, Electrical Engineering Colorado School of Mines Salary: $102,300.00 - $116,700.00 Annually Job Type: Full Time Job Number: GLA-JR105483-10/24 Location: Golden, CO Department Information Engineering a world of possibilities Assistant Professors, Department of Electrical Engineering THE OPPORTUNITIES Colorado School of Mines (Mines) invites applications for two tenure-track faculty positions at the Assistant Professor level with expertise and experience in one or more of the following areas: (1) Quantum Devices; (2) Quantum Systems; (3) radio-frequency, microwave, and millimeter-wave components, analog/mixed signal subsystems or high-speed integrated circuits; (4) photonic devices; with a strong focus on quantum-enhanced sensing and imaging, quantum communications, quantum networking, quantum information science, quantum computing architectures and applications such as cryptography, cybersecurity, and optimization. The successful candidate will lead an innovative research program aimed at advancing state-of-the-art devices that are integral to the realization of scalable quantum technologies. Key areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the design and development of integrated or heterogeneously integrated electronic and photonic devices supporting qubit control and readout systems, quantum sensors, quantum communication platforms, as well as the associated instrumentation and metrology systems required for their testing and operation; and co-designed solutions generated with multidisciplinary teams supporting quantum computing and sensing applications, such as room temperature and cryogenic microwave front-ends and components, photonic integrated circuits, quantum memories, electronic backends, and high-density interconnects. Applicants with a proven track record of working with semiconductor or integrated photonics platforms-alongside established collaborations with affiliated foundries, are highly sought after. The role will emphasize the co-design of multidisciplinary solutions for quantum computing and sensing architectures. The selected candidates will have the opportunity to leverage the resources available through the Mines Shared Instrumentation Facilities (SIF) and clean rooms for in-house prototype fabrication. Additionally, they will be encouraged to foster strong partnerships with industry and government agencies to drive domestic research and manufacturing of semiconductor technologies. The state of Colorado has emerged as a leading hub for quantum technology. With a unique convergence of academic, governmental, and private sector resources in Colorado has led to a consortium, Elevate Quantum (https://www.elevatequantum.org/), which has recently secured federal and state support to help lead the US quantum technology efforts. Colorado's vibrant ecosystem in high-tech, coupled with government investment and collaborations between academia and industry, has already attracted many leading quantum companies and researchers to the area. Critical to achieving the Elevate Quantum vision is the Quantum COmmons, a 70-acre site owned by Mines and dedicated to advancing quantum technology. Mines is a great place to engage in education and research in each of these areas as they relate to our Earth, Energy, and Environment mission. We seek candidates excited to share our mission. Successful applicants will be able to collaborate through joint appointments, joint projects, shared students, etc. with the nearby National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), based in Golden, Colorado and the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) in Boulder Colorado, only 20 miles away from Mines. Collaboration with other national laboratories and industries is also encouraged. Description of Job PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES
