[TYPES/announce] Tenure Track opening at University of Vermont Computer Science

[Christian Edward Skalka]

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.
