The Department of Computer Science invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in the broadly defined area of Quantum Computing, with an anticipated start in Fall 2026. While we expect to hire at the Assistant Professor level, exceptional candidates may also be considered at a higher rank. We seek a creative and ambitions researcher whose work complements and expands our strengths in computer science and applied interdisciplinary engineering. Candidates whose research bridges multiple subfields, connects with industry or national laboratories, or integrates experimental and theoretical approaches are especially encouraged to apply. Areas of interest include:

Quantum computer architectures (hybrid quantum-classical computing systems, secure and scalable design of quantum computing platforms);

Quantum algorithms and applications (quantum algorithm development, integration of domain-specific approaches and emerging workloads with quantum computers);

Fault tolerance and error mitigation for quantum (resource-efficient fault-tolerant architectures, fault-tolerant quantum algorithms, security protocols for reliable and resilient quantum computation);

Quantum software and programming languages (software tools for quantum circuit optimization, simulation, and verification; high-level languages and compilers for quantum computing)

Every semester in CS@Mines, all students in CSCI 406 (Algorithms) participate in our signature AlgoBOWL Competition. Teams are assigned an NP-Hard problem and tasked with: (1) creating (huge!) inputs that will be challenging for other teams to solve; (2) designing and running heuristic algorithms to solve other teams’ inputs; and (3) verifying that everyones’ solutions are, in fact, valid. Since the problem is NP-Hard, we can’t know whether any solutions are actually optimal. Yet some heuristic algorithms are better than others, which means the competition is always fierce!

This semester, students battled valiantly to solve the “Tents & Trees” game (https://lnkd.in/e6E5zsS4), and Professors Alex Chakarov and Estelle Smith are pleased to share the winners! (PS. If you’re hiring, here are some of our brightest and best this semester!)
