[TYPES/announce] Tenure-track PL faculty position at Tufts University
[ The Types Forum (announcements only), http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ] I'm pleased to announce that Tufts University's CS Department is seeking faculty candidates in Programming Languages. Review of applications will begin Dec 15, 2023. I've pasted the full position description below, which you can also find at the application site: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://apply.interfolio.com/129454__;!!IBzWLUs!TD9z3z_h4lJAlwcWdajJ7CoEWADC-QO85AMvMpNLy5VOg-KzcFaZC8ec22mp_Py-oUs9bsRTd4wC-Mb1mwC4OwMxOwa_zm5ybX3r8XOB2w$ We also have a leadership-oriented position open for mid-career faculty (see job description below). I really enjoy being at Tufts, and I strongly encourage you to apply if you are interested in joining us! Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or to discuss the search further. Thanks, Jeff Foster https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.cs.tufts.edu/*jfoster/__;fg!!IBzWLUs!TD9z3z_h4lJAlwcWdajJ7CoEWADC-QO85AMvMpNLy5VOg-KzcFaZC8ec22mp_Py-oUs9bsRTd4wC-Mb1mwC4OwMxOwa_zm5ybX3QOVZpMA$ The Department of Computer Science at Tufts University invites applications for multiple tenure-track faculty positions to begin September 2024, as follows. Programming Languages (PL): The department seeks candidates who conduct research in programming languages, including software engineering researchers whose work is adjacent to programming languages. Candidates who can connect to and build on the department’s and/or university’s strengths in related areas are strongly encouraged to apply. While candidates at the Assistant or Associate Professor level are preferred, candidates at all levels will also be considered. Artificial Intelligence (AI): The department seeks candidates who conduct research in artificial intelligence, especially those with interests in neuro-symbolic AI, language processing with large language models (LLM), formal methods for safe learning, cognitive systems, and multi-agent planning and reasoning. Candidates in areas of artificial intelligence that connect to and build on the department’s and/or university’s strengths are particularly encouraged to apply. While candidates at the Associate Professor level are preferred, candidates at all levels will also be considered. Any Area, with Leadership Potential: The department seeks candidates for the Ada Lovelace Professorship of Computer Science. Candidates for this professorship must demonstrate strong leadership potential and may be in any area of computing. This is a regular, permanent position, for which the Lovelace Professorship will apply for the first five years, after which the candidate will automatically continue as a regular faculty member. Mid-career, new or established Associate Professors, or recently promoted Full Professors are preferred. Exceptional candidates not matching the above position descriptions will also be considered. We welcome candidates with a variety of life experiences and perspectives that will add value to our department. Women, Black/African Descent, Indigenous/Native American, Hispanic/Latinx, People of Color, LGBTQ , individuals with disabilities, and others with intersecting marginalized identities are strongly encouraged to apply. The department especially values candidates who have an interest in civic engagement, social impact, and the betterment of society. Tufts Computer Science has grown significantly in the past decade in terms of faculty count, number of students, and research funding. The department recently moved into the brand-new Joyce Cummings Center, which is also the home of Math, Economics, the Data Intensive Studies Center, and the Derby Entrepreneurship Center. The department benefits from outstanding undergraduate and graduate students, collaborative faculty, and cross-disciplinary research opportunities. Tufts University, a member of the AAU, is one of the smallest universities ranked as an R1 university, so it offers the best of a liberal arts college atmosphere coupled with the intellectual and technological resources of a major research university. Tufts University supports and encourages a culture of interdisciplinary research, and there are numerous such opportunities across the School of Engineering, the School of Arts and Sciences, the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, the School of Medicine, and our other graduate and professional schools. Located only six miles from historic downtown Boston, faculty members on the Tufts Medford/Somerville campus have extensive opportunities for academic and industrial collaboration as well as participation in the rich intellectual life of the area. The new Medford/Tufts MBTA stop on the Green Line opened recently and is located immediately adjacent to the Joyce Cummings Center. The Tufts School of Engineering is in the midst of a period of exciting growth that has seen the recruitment of outstanding new faculty, a quadrupling of funded research over the last ten years

This year, PASTE will include both a lightning talks session and a poster session; see the call at the bottom of this message for more details. --- KEYNOTE: SUMIT GULWANI, Microsoft Research Program Synthesis for Automating End-user Programming and Education Recent research in program synthesis has made it possible to effectively synthesize small programs in a variety of domains. In this talk, I will describe two useful applications of this technology that have the potential to influence daily lives of billions of people. One application involves automating end-user programming using examples, which can allow non-programmers to effectively use computational devices such as computers, cell-phones (and in the future robots) to perform a variety of repetitive tasks. Another application involves building automated tutoring systems that can help students with problem solving in math and science domains. BIO: Sumit Gulwani is a senior researcher in the RiSE group at Microsoft Research, Redmond. His primary research interest is in the area of program synthesis with applications to automating end user programming and building intelligent tutoring systems. Sumit obtained his PhD in computer science from UC-Berkeley in 2005, and was awarded the C.V. Ramamoorthy Award and the ACM SIGPLAN Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award. He obtained his BTech in computer science and engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur in 2000 and was awarded the President's Gold Medal. --- ACCEPTED PAPERS Labeling Library Functions in Stripped Binaries E.
