Position Highlights The University of Arizona's (UA) department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Department is seeking applicants for a post-doctoral researcher position in classical and quantum error correction, under the direction of Dr. Bane Vasic. More specifically, we are seeking candidates specializing in fault-tolerant error correction, quantum low-density parity-check codes and iterative decoders, investigating applications of quantum error correction in quantum computers and networks.

We are interested in candidates with strong expertise in burst error correction, erasure error correction, and streaming codes designed to ensure recovery with a decoding-delay constraints. Candidates must be able to perform research on designing advanced error correction algorithms, their theoretical analysis and verification.

This is a year-to-year appointment, contingent upon funding and performance.

Outstanding UA benefits include health, dental, vision, and life insurance; paid vacation, sick leave, and holidays; UA/ASU/NAU tuition reduction for the employee and qualified family members; access to UA recreation and cultural activities; and more!
