The College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences at the University
of Vermont (UVM) invites applications for an assistant professor in
Computer Science for a Fall 2016 start date.
Potential candidates will be drawn from all areas of theoretical,
systems oriented, or application driven Computer Science, with strong
potential for external funding and high impact research. We give
higher priority to the overall originality and promise of the
candidate’s work than to the candidate’s subarea of specialization
within Computer Science. However, particular emphasis will be given to
candidates that complement existing strengths within the CS department
(www.cs.uvm.edu), or who have the potential for significant
interdisciplinary collaborations relevant to the greater UVM research
community, such as environmental studies, health, biology, and
neuroscience.
In addition to the Computer Science program, resources and activities
at UVM include:
the Vermont Complex Systems Center (bit.ly/1KIXarI),
the Vermont Advanced Computing Core (bit.ly/1KIXd6U),
the Bioengineering Graduate Program (bit.ly/1N3dzrk),
the Neuroscience Graduate Program (bit.ly/1IKxxAV),
the Gund (bit.ly/SuXKAP) and Rubenstein (bit.ly/1NO2bkB) environmental
institutes and the Transportation Research Center (bit.ly/1Q9puUu).
The successful candidate will be housed with faculty from computer
science, engineering, mathematics and the natural sciences in the STEM
Complex (bit.ly/1Fk0ofh), a new facility that will combine
laboratories, classrooms, and research facilities under one roof. The
STEM Complex is a five minute walk from the academic medical center
and hospital (bit.ly/1EBRS0fM). Applicants must have completed (or be
completing) a Ph.D., have demonstrated the ability to pursue a program
of research, and have a strong commitment to graduate and
undergraduate teaching. A successful candidate will be expected to
teach courses at the graduate and undergraduate levels, as well as
build, lead, and fund a team of graduate students in Ph.D. research.
The applicant must submit a cover letter, CV, detailed research plan,
statement of teaching philosophy, and names of at least three people
who can provide letters of reference. All application materials must
be submitted online at http://www.uvmjobs.com, (position
number00023964). A background check will be conducted on the final
candidate. Screening of applications will begin on November 15, 2015
and continue until the position is filled.
