Merry Yom Kippur!<\/p>\n
This is my annual post where I tell you about opportunities available at UT Austin, which has long been a safe space for CS research, and which we hope will rapidly become (or return to its historical role as…) a safe space for quantum computing and information.<\/p>\n
If you’re interested in faculty positions in computer science at UT, I have some great news: we plan to do a lot of hiring this year!\u00a0 Because of the sheer volume of interviews we’ll be doing, we’d like to start our recruiting season already in the fall.\u00a0 So we’re extending an unusual invitation: if you already have your materials ready, we encourage you to apply for faculty positions right now<\/a>.\u00a0 If you’re chosen for an interview, we could schedule it for the next few months.<\/p>\n We’ll be looking for great candidates across all parts of CS, but one particular interest is hiring another quantum computing theorist in CS (i.e., besides me), most likely a junior person.\u00a0 While not everyone who reads this blog is a plausible candidate, and not every plausible candidate reads this blog, the intersection is surely non-negligible!\u00a0 So again: we encourage you to apply right now<\/em>, so we can start scheduling interviews already.<\/p>\n I’m also on the lookout for postdocs, mainly in theoretical quantum computing and information.\u00a0 (I, and others in the theory group, are also collectively interested in postdocs in classical computational complexity.)\u00a0 If you’re interested in doing a postdoc with me starting in Fall 2019, the procedure, like in previous years, is this:<\/p>\n We’ll set a deadline for this of December 15.<\/p>\n Finally, if you’re interested in pursuing a PhD in CS at UT, please apply here!<\/a>\u00a0 The deadline, again, is December 15.\u00a0 Just like every year, I’m on the lookout for superb, complexity-loving, quantum- or quantum-curious, lower-bound-hungry students of every background, and if you specify that you want to work with me, I’ll be sure to see your application.\u00a0 Emailing me won’t help: everything is done through the application process.<\/p>\n\n
