Computer Science Department

CS@Mines prepares tomorrow’s leaders to bring the computational power and thinking of computer science to all fields of engineering and science, as well as business, medicine and entertainment.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Mines was the top-ranked public university for combining faculty accessibility and research prowess. Our department takes those Mines strengths even further, with our emphasis on industry collaboration and the steadfast goal of improving computer science education for Colorado and the nation.

Colorado School of Mines – Assistant Professor,  Quantum Computing  (Fall 2026): As part of a cluster hire of three faculty in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering and Physics, the Department of Computer Science seeks applicants in broad areas of quantum computer architectures, quantum algorithms and applications, fault tolerance and error mitigation for quantum, and quantum software and programming languages. Candidates are expected to develop an externally funded research program and teach and mentor students at all levels. Mines is home to one of the nation’s first MS programs in Quantum Engineering, the new Quantum COmmons hub, CURIE at the Edgar Experimental Mine, and is a key partner in the Elevate Quantum consortium. In addition to strengthening our leadership in quantum information science and engineering, the successful candidate will have opportunities to engage in the creation of our new BS program in quantum systems engineering, the first of its kind in the US. Apply with a cover letter (2 pages), CV, research (max 4 pages) and teaching (max 2 pages) statements, and contact information for three references. Review begins November  1, 2025 and continues until filled.
