Quantum Recruiting Forum

The inaugural Chicago Quantum Recruiting Forum will bring together current quantum leaders from both academia and industry with the rising generation of quantum scientists and engineers. This forum is an outstanding opportunity for:

  • Students across STEM disciplines interested in pursuing quantum physics, computing, or engineering to catalyze their careers.
  • Faculty interested in sharing their research.
  • Employers interested in sourcing candidates for quantum jobs and internships.

Participants will explore quantum careers and academic pathways through an experiential, day-long immersion in quantum innovation. The forum will include guest speaker panels featuring quantum experts, a keynote address, and a poster session where students will share research projects.
