Applications are invited for a tenure-track assistant professorship beginning September 2007. Qualifications required of all applicants include a Ph.D. in Computer Science or related discipline, a strong research record, and a commitment to teaching. All research areas of Computer Science will be considered. Particular attention will be given to candidates pursuing research that involves the building of systems (for example operating systems, distributed systems) and/or the management and analysis of data.

Currently, the department consists of 17 faculty members, and offers programs leading to B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. degrees. In recent years the department had expanded in research strength with current research interests including databases, fault-tolerant computing, image and video computing, network protocols and services, operating systems, performance evaluation, programming languages, real-time systems, security, and theory of computation and algorithms. In addition, our department maintains a close association with other university groups working on various applied computing areas including scientific computing, computer engineering, and bioinformatics.

The department maintains a state-of-the-art computing environment and has full access to the university's supercomputing facilities, high-speed campus networks, and Internet2. Recently, the department has received significant government and industry grants for research, research infrastructure, and for graduate student support. We anticipate that this period of growth will continue based on our recent successes and the continued strong support of the University.

The department particularly encourages applications from women.
