of Missouri (Mizzou) invites applications for an Assistant Professor position in Quantum Optimization. Applicants should have a demonstrated potential in quantum optimization in one of the following four topics: 1) quantum algorithms for combinatorial, discrete, continuous, stochastic, robust, or multi-objective optimization; 2) hybrid quantum-classical methods, including variational algorithms, the quantum
approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA), quantum annealing, and decomposition-based approaches; 3) quantum formulations and reformulations, including QUBO/Ising models, constrained quantum optimization, embedding, error mitigation, and rigorous performance benchmarking; or 4) quantum-inspired methods paired with a substantive quantum computing research agenda. Applicants should also have demonstrated the
application of quantum optimization to one of the following areas: autonomous systems, energy and critical infrastructure, health systems, supply chain/logistics, manufacturing, or transportation; all focused on improving the design and operation of complex engineered systems.Successful candidates will be expected to be leaders in their field, either have a sustainable externally funded research program or
demonstrated ability, be capable of successfully mentoring graduate students, and developing undergraduate and/or graduate courses in these areas. The successful candidate will have access to the Mizzou Quantum Innovation Center (QIC), one of four IBM Quantum Innovation Centers in the USA and a member of the IBM Quantum Network. Qualifications Applicants should have an earned doctorate in industrial engineering,
operations research, computer science, applied mathematics, or a related field; strong written and oral communication skills; and a publication record in nationally recognized journals and/or highly selective conferences, as appropriate to the field. Application Materials MU application, cover letter, curriculum vitae, a statement of research and teaching accomplishments and goals, a representative research paper,
