Faculty Recruiting

Tenure-Track Faculty Position in Computer Science

7 Mar 2008: Sorry, we are no longer accepting new applications for this year.

Director of the Center for Computational Arts, Sciences, and Engineering

The University of Rochester invites applications for a tenured or tenure track position as Director of an emerging Center for Computational Arts, Sciences, and Engineering. A joint venture of the University Office of Information Technology and some 16 departments in the College of Arts, Sciences, and Engineering and the School of Medicine and Dentistry, the Center represents a substantial commitment of space and financial resources. The Director will serve as administrative and technical leader for computationally intensive interdisciplinary efforts across the full range of research fields, and will enjoy a faculty appointment in Computer Science or other related department. Candidates must possess an appropriate doctoral degree and an established record of leadership in high-end research computation.

Founded in 1850, the University of Rochester is one of the nation's leading private research institutions. Many of its doctoral programs are ranked among the finest in their fields, and the distinctive combination of small size and high quality facilitates intellectual and educational linkages across departments and schools. Full-time enrollment totals approximately 4,600 undergraduates and 2,900 graduate students. Aggregate annual external research funding exceeds $350M. Signature efforts in computational science include astrophysical fluid dynamics, bioinformatics, cognitive science, computer architecture, inertial-confinement fusion, molecular dynamics, plasma physics, and statistical language modeling.

Creation of the Center for Computational Arts, Science, and Engineering reflects a recognition that computation is changing the nature of research across a very wide range of fields, that shared interests in computational techniques are creating new opportunities for collaboration, and that shared facilities and programs can enhance both research efficiency and the genesis of new ideas.

Applicants should send a curriculum vitae, copies of relevant papers, and the names and addresses of at least three references to:
