The third position is at the assistant professor level with research emphasis in machine learning, bioinformatics and big data. All candidates must be committed to building an active research program. Candidates must have earned a PhD in Computer Science or a related discipline prior to their start date. Candidates must have a strong commitment to conducting publishable funded research, strong leadership potential, exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, and a commitment to diversifying the student body. The job duties of the successful candidate will be to teach undergraduate and graduate courses in computer science, effectively communicate and interact with students, collaborate with others within the School, the University, or other organizations, conduct funded research, publish in top-tier venues, and direct MS and PhD student research programs. Candidates applying at the associate or full professor level must also possess a strong record of achievement in academia and/or industry.
These new faculty will join existing faculty in the School of EECS’s Smart Environments program, which is one of the signature areas of the College of Engineering and Architecture at WSU. The School of EECS has seen rapid growth in enrollment over the past three years with 887 undergraduate and 184 graduate students enrolled as of Fall 2012. EECS expects continued increase in enrollments and anticipates additional faculty hires. Washington State University is one of the nation’s top 60 public research universities according to U.S. News and World Report. WSU is among 96 public and private universities in America recognized with the “very high research activity” categorization, and among 119 national universities and colleges that earn the “community engagement” classification from the Carnegie Foundation. The Pullman campus is a quintessential college town – one of the top 10 in the nation according to MSN’s 2012 report on the “Best College Towns in North America.” For more information about WSU and the School of EECS, visit our home page at www.eecs.wsu.edu.
