Academic

After a successful search for two faculty members in 2001, the Department of Computer Science at the University of Vermont invites applications for two additional tenure-track faculty (pending final funding approval). These positions commence with the 2002-03 academic year. The University of Vermont, one of the top public national universities (http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/rankings/natudoc/natudoc_pubs.htm), 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, family, and sporting 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.

Position 1: Associate or Assistant Professor. Candidates in networking and systems, software engineering, programming languages, human-computer interaction or parallel/distributed computing are most sought. Candidates in any area of computer science will be considered seriously. Our faculty are involved in the forefront of research in knowledge and data engineering, software engineering, and computational sciences. We are seeking to complement and further strengthen our existing research and teaching activities in these areas.

Position 2: Assistant Professor in COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY. A new concentration in computational biology has been established in the Colleges of Medicine, Agricultural and Life Sciences, Engineering and Mathematics, and Arts and Sciences. Candidates with research interests or experience in computational biology or bioinformatics are invited to apply. Through a major Department of Energy grant that commenced in July 2000, the startup package includes summer support, seed research grant, and reduced teaching obligations.

Candidates for either position should have a strong research record, hold a doctorate in Computer Science or a closely related field, and have broad teaching abilities and interests. Current teaching responsibilities typically consist of three computer science courses per year with average enrollments of 25 students. These responsibilities will be reduced to two courses per year for the first two years for successful position 2 candidates. Please send a letter of interest indicating the position sought, 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
