================================
Lecturer/ Senior Lecturer/ Reader in Computer Science (Six Posts)
Department of Computer Science, Royal Holloway, University of London (UK)
Application closing date: Wednesday 27 February 2020
Interview date: TBC
Please apply at: https://jobs.royalholloway.ac.uk/vacancy.aspx?ref=0120-036
================================

The Department of Computer Science at Royal Holloway is looking to appoint
six new academics to support our expansion in research and teaching.

We carry out outstanding research and deliver excellent teaching at both
undergraduate and postgraduate level: we ranked 11th in the Research
Excellence Framework (REF 2014) for the quality of our research output, and
in teaching we are 7th in the UK for graduate prospects (Times and Sunday
Times Good University Guide 2020), 13th in the UK for course satisfaction
(Guardian University Guide 2020) and achieved 90% overall satisfaction from
our students (NSS 2019).

Over the past six years, we have undertaken an ambitious plan of expansion:
fourteen new academic members of staff were appointed, new undergraduate
and integrated-masters programmes were created, and six new
postgraduate-taught programmes were launched. We are involved in multiple
inter/multidisciplinary activities, from electrical engineering to
psychology and social sciences. Our research strength in machine learning,
information security, and other areas also generates significant interest
and collaborative opportunity from universities and third stream partners.

We are now recruiting academic members of staff who can complement or
strengthen our existing research, which falls broadly within Artificial
Intelligence and Machine Learning, Algorithms and Complexity, Distributed
and Global Computing, and Software Language Engineering; we also have
strong connections with the Information Security Group.

We particularly welcome applications from researchers in Artificial
Intelligence and Machine Learning, Systems and the Internet of Things,
Distributed Systems and Security, and Networking, but we welcome
exceptional candidates from all disciplines.

The successful candidates will help us seek and seize opportunities for
research funding and industrial engagement. They will hold a PhD or
equivalent, and will have a proven research record in any of those areas,
with a solid background in the underlying theory. Experience in attracting
funding, engaging with industry, or contributing to outreach activities
would also be valuable.

The appointees will be expected to contribute across the full range of
departmental activities, including undergraduate and postgraduate teaching
and the supervision of mainstream projects over a wide range of topics. In
particular, duties and responsibilities of these posts include: conducting
individual or collaborative research projects; producing high-quality
outputs for publication in high-profile journals or conference proceedings;
delivering high-quality teaching to all levels of students; supervising
research postgraduate students.

These are full-time and permanent (tenured) posts, available from August
2020 or as soon as possible thereafter.
