DEPARTMENT: College of Engineering and College of Science
POSITION: Multiple Positions in Quantum Photonics

NOTES:
Purdue
University’s College of Engineering and College of Science have identified
quantum photonics as a major thrust for cross-disciplinary education and
research, including theory, modeling and experiment, and are accepting
applications for multiple tenured and tenure track faculty positions in this
area at the Assistant, Associate, and Full Professor levels. Recently,
conceptual and technical advances have pointed to the beginning of a new era
for the physical, chemical, and information sciences and related technologies –
the era of Quantum Science and Engineering. Quantum photonics is a center stage
in this new emerging field, combining photonic and quantum technologies and
cutting across the areas of computer science, theoretical and experimental
physics, chemistry, material science and device engineering. Purdue University
has embarked on a new quantum photonics initiative to exploit optical and quantum
technologies that are expected to have transformative impact on our society, by
enabling quantum computation and communication, new approaches to metrology and
quantum sensing, as well as novel materials that are designed and engineered at
the quantum level, quantum metamaterials, with unique properties unattainable
in natural materials. This initiative will build on the existing strengths and
leverage the nanotechnology, quantum science and engineering, and photonics
capabilities of both Purdue Colleges and Purdue’s Discovery and Research Parks.
Candidates must hold a Ph.D. degree in Engineering, Science or a related
field. They should have a distinguished academic record, exceptional
potential for world-class research, and a commitment to teach in both
undergraduate and graduate programs. Specific research fields of interest
include, but are not limited to quantum optics, nanophotonics, quantum
plasmonics and metamaterials, graphene and 2D materials, diamond photonics,
coherent optics, optical metrology, nanomechanical oscillators, and quantum
sensing. The successful candidate will teach undergraduate and graduate
courses in topics related to quantum photonics, conduct research in their field
of expertise, publish and present research findings, participate in
professional activities, and advise graduate student research. The
primary faculty appointment will be in a school of the College of Engineering
or/and a department of the College of Science, and will depend on the
candidate’s qualifications.
Submit your
application online at: http://engineering.purdue.edu/Engr/InfoFor/Employment.
The application should include a cover letter, a complete and detailed vitae,
and statements of research and teaching interests. Also, please include
names, addresses, telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses for three or more
references. For questions regarding the application process, please
contact Marion Ragland (ragland@purdue.edu).
Screening of applications will begin December 1, 2013 and will continue until
the positions are filled. A background check will be required for
employment in this position.
