The Université de Sherbrooke is seeking strong profile candidates for two (2) full-time faculty positions in the Physics Department at the Faculty of Science.
The research profile of the candidates should be oriented in one or more current strategic orientations of the Physics Department of the Institut Quantique, including the areas of quantum materials, quantum information and quantum engineering or those at their interface.
University’s Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
The University is committed to making a priority of these values as strategic factors of excellence. This commitment is stated in the University’s Plan d’action d’équité pour les programmes interorganismes (2017–2022). The University invites all qualified individuals to apply, in particular, women, members of visible and ethnic minorities, Aboriginal peoples, and persons with disabilities under the Programme d’accès à l’égalité en emploi (PAEE). The selection tools can be adapted, with an assurance of complete confidentiality, to the needs of persons with disabilities who so request. The University also encourages individuals of all sexual orientations and gender identities to apply. Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority. To promote diversity, the University is committed to ensure that one of these two positions is filled by a woman or a member of another under-represented group in physics.
About the Physics Department and the Institut Quantique
The Institut Quantique at Université de Sherbrooke is renowned for its world-leading research and education in quantum materials, quantum information, and quantum engineering. With recent major investments by the Canada First Research
Excellence Fund and the Canadian Foundation for Innovation, a unique synergy is developed between these three fields of research. The 15 professors of the Physics Department conduct cutting-edge research in the following areas: superconductivity, strongly correlated electrons, topologically ordered materials, magnetism, quantum algorithms and error-correction, superconducting qubits, quantum-enhanced metrology,solid-state spin qubits, photonics, and mesoscopic physics. In addition, within the Institut Quantique, members of the Department maintain strong ties with engineers and computer scientists, whose expertise includes micro-/nano-fabrication, cold electronics, single-electron transistors, packaging, integration, and quantum computing. Institut Quantique researchers are members of several Canadian and international networks, including the RQMP (Regroupement Québécois sur les Matériaux de Pointe), INTRIQ (INstitut TRansdisciplinaire d’Informatique Quantique), Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (Quantum Materials and Quantum Information Science), and the Laboratoire International Associé France-Canada on quantum circuits and materials. They have access to world-class computing resources and state-of-the-art facilities for nano-fabrication and characterization of quantum materials and devices.
