This note really constitutes a personal appeal to each of you to help me and help one of your colleagues or students. THE quantum computation postdoctoral research search is now officially ON! I hope you will take a moment to help with the following exciting job search. Think if you know someone appropriate or know of a colleague who might know someone. Here is the announcement in the form our "Human Resources" office put it out to the Physics Today advertising people, to appear in the forthcoming issue: Quantum Computation Postdoctoral Researcher Hampshire College and the ISIS Institute seek a potential postdoctoral researcher in the field of quantum computation. Excellent research ability in quantum mechanics and its implications are required. Interests in innovative undergraduate teaching and in issues of science, technology, and society are helpful. Appointment is for one year, renewable for a second year, and carries two-months residency in Italy per year, supported by the Institute for Scientific Interchange in Turin. We offer competitive salary and comprehensive benefit program. Resume review begins February 1, 1997. Recent Ph.D recipients are encouraged to submit a cover letter, curriculum vita, and names of three references to: Quantum Computation Postdoctoral Search Human Resources Hampshire College Amherst, Massachusetts 01002 Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer: Women and minorities are encouraged to apply. ********************************************************* As you probably already know, the funding for this position comes in part from the ISI=Institute for Scientific Interchange* in Turin, a true indication of the current situation in international scientific collaboration. Europe is clearly interested establishing and maintaining a capability in the new field of quantum computation; for a change the Italians are in a position to fund researchers HERE and pay for their annual participation over there, potentially a very attractive situation for the right candidate! ISI, easily the most remarkable "think-tank" for the inter-related topics of quantum information, quantum computation, `quantum teleportation,' and quantum communication in Italy and probably in all the Continent, reminds me -- out of all the places I have experienced in our country -- MOST of the best of national laboratories, the ITP at UCSB, or the Institute for Advanced Study. In addition, you may not realize that Hampshire College has the advantages of participation in a consortium with Amherst, UMass, Smith and Mount Holyoke Colleges. Hampshire has had a remarkable record of graduating (among those scores of students who have actually gone on to professional work in physics) approximately half women & half men AND a good nineteen or twenty percent minority representation. Its reputation for innovative college teaching and for considering the social implications of new knowledge as an important part of a working scientists' concerns is well deserved; these aspects are reflected in the job description, too. Please bring this post-doctoral employment/research opportunity to the attention of any other colleagues who are in touch with, or who know of, or who may themselves BE researchers interested in working on this exciting and rapidly developing field of physics. I don't think it is necessary to already have published or worked specifically on quantum computation or information theory in order to do this job, if one is a good physicist willing to learn and grow rapidly at first. Please feel free to call or write me for further information or clarification. Phone: (413) 582-5582 or (413) 253-5709 [home] I believe this job is a rare opportunity for the applicant who is bright, talented and willing to learn. Thanks, Herb [Bernstein] Professor of Physics Hampshire College P.S. The ISI Foundation is headed by Prof. Tullio Regge and its director, Prof. Mario Rasetti, has spent much time at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.
