Academic

The College of Engineering and Mathematics at the University of Vermont invites applications for the Dorothean Professorship (at the Full Professor or Associate Professor level) in Computer Science, commencing with the 2003-04 academic year. Tenure will be sought at time of appointment.

The University of Vermont, one of the top public national universities, is located in Burlington, Vermont. It offers a supportive research environment in a relatively small city that repeatedly has drawn national attention for offering a high quality of life. The greater Burlington area includes 125,000 people, and is situated on the shores of Lake Champlain between the Green Mountains of Vermont and the Adirondack Mountains of New York. Burlington and the surrounding area provide an environment rich in cultural and recreational activities. The Department of Computer Science offers programs in the College of Engineering and Mathematics and the College of Arts and Sciences, as well as a joint program with the School of Business Administration.

Our existing faculty in Computer Science are involved in the forefront of research in knowledge and data engineering (such as data mining, database systems, pattern recognition, and knowledge-based systems), software engineering and verification (including programming languages), and computational sciences (including computational biology, discrete modeling, and numerical methods). We are seeking to complement and further strengthen our existing research and teaching activities in these areas. Candidates in these areas are most sought, and candidates in any other area of computer science will also be considered seriously.

Candidates should have a distinguished research record, hold a doctorate in Computer Science or a closely related field, and have broad teaching abilities and interests. The successful applicant is expected to (1) play a major role in departmental research initiatives and the graduate program coordination, (2) strengthen and build interdisciplinary bridges between the Department of Computer Science and other departments within the University, and (3) take an active role in teaching computer science courses.

Please send a letter of interest, a curriculum vitae, a statement of teaching experience and interests, a statement of research interests and aspirations to, and arrange for at least three letters of reference to be sent to
