Assistant professor in Quantum Information Theory and Processing
5 days ago
Since its founding in 1827, KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm has grown to become one of Europe's leading technical and engineering universities.
Subject FieldQuantum information theory and processing.
Subject DescriptionThe subject pertains to theories and principles of communication and information processing using quantum mechanical phenomena. It therefore encompasses aspects of quantum communication, information processing, coding, security, algorithms, and learning. While grounded in quantum mechanical principles, the subject field lies at the intersection of information theory, computer science, signal processing, and machine learning.
DutiesThe position includes research and teaching within the subject field. The assistant lecturer is expected to eventually establish an independent research group within the subject field. The work includes attracting research funding, supervising doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows, and establishing research collaborations both within and outside KTH. The work also includes teaching subjects at basic and advanced levels at the Department of Intelligent Systems and at the Department of Computer Science, as well as supervising degree theses.
The assistant professor will be given the opportunity to develop their independence as a researcher and gain accreditation that may allow them to take other teaching positions with higher eligibility requirements (see Chapter 4, Section 12 a of the Higher Education Ordinance). Following application, the assistant professor can apply for promotion to associate professor in accordance with Chapter 4, Section 12 c of the Higher Education Ordinance.
EligibilityAn individual who has completed a doctorate or equivalent scientific competence is qualified for appointment as an assistant professor. Candidates who met those qualifications a maximum of seven years before the deadline for applying for the appointment as an assistant professor has expired should be prioritized. Other candidates may also be considered if there are special reasons. Special reasons refer to absence due to illness, parental leave, or other similar circumstances.
Assessment CriteriaThe assessment criteria for appointment as an assistant professor at KTH are stated in KTH's appointments procedure section 1.3, and apply in relation to the employment profile laid down.
It is of the highest importance that the candidate has demonstrated:
- Scientific expertise, demonstrated through scientific publications, conference attendance, involvement in research collaborations, and other undertakings in the scientific community, such as assignments as a reviewer or expert.
- Experience from a postdoctoral visit in a research environment other than the university at which the applicant defended their doctoral thesis. Experience from research and development work within the industry or other organizations may be considered equivalent to a traditional postdoc visit at another university.
It is of the second highest importance that the candidate has demonstrated:
- Potential for qualification for a higher teaching post. This includes the potential for independent development as a researcher and teacher within the subject field in question and the ability to establish, review, and develop the research area in question.
- An interest in and understanding of pedagogical development within the subject field in question.
It is also of importance that the candidate has demonstrated:
- Interest in and insights concerning leadership in academia, collaboration with the outside community, and awareness of diversity and equal opportunity issues, with a particular focus on gender equality.
- Administrative proficiency.
When assessing applications for promotion to associate professor, provisions according to Section 1.2.4 of Appointments procedure at KTH will be applied. Ability to teach in Swedish is a merit that is given great importance in the application for promotion.
ApplicationYour application should follow KTH's CV template for employment of teachers. It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that the application is complete according to the requirements in the ad and CV template.
Your complete application must be received at KTH no later than the last day of application, midnight CET/CEST (Central European Time/Central European Summer Time).
OtherThe position is largely funded by the Wallenberg Center for Quantum Technology (WACQT), and comes with a start package. WACQT is a 12-year, one-billion-SEK research programme that aims to take Swedish research and industry to the forefront of quantum technology. WACQT promotes career development, diversity, and equality through networking and support activities at the national level.
Time limitation: The appointment is for an indefinite term, but no more than six years, and may be extended if, due to the teacher's absence due to sick leave, parental leave, or other special grounds, more time is required to reach the objectives of the appointment. However, the total appointment period may not exceed eight years. The appointment is part of the Tenure Track system at KTH and the assistant professor may apply for promotion to tenured associate professor.
Striving towards gender equality, diversity, and equal conditions is both a question of quality for KTH and a given part of our values.
We firmly decline all contact with staffing and recruitment agencies and job ad salespersons.
