Professor in quantum computing - MEIE Chair in Quantum Computing

Introduction - texte

L'Ecole de technologie superieure (ETS) is a rapidly evolving university in engineering and technology located in downtown Montreal. ETS offers undergraduate and graduate programs focused on applied engineering as well as state-of-the-art research infrastructure including quantum computers: one built by Anyon Systems, available via Calcul Quebec, and another built by IBM via Pinq2. ETS is also home to the Centech, a business incubator, offering support services for researchers wishing to commercialize their research.

By joining l'ETS, you will be joining a team of highly active professors and researchers in the school's various research chairs, labs, institutes and groups. Your work will make a tangible contribution to scientific progress and the development of Quebec's productivity and competitiveness, as well as the training of a highly qualified workforce.

Ecole de technologie superieure, one of Canada's top three engineering research and teaching institutions, is inviting applications for a MEIE Research Chair in Quantum Computing. The purpose of this Chair is to support the work of emerging researchers, and to support the development of quantum engineering, identified as an important emerging field in ETS's Strategic Research Plan.
