The Department of Computer Science in the College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences at the University of Vermont invites applications for one (and possibly two) tenure-track faculty, commencing with the 2006-07 academic year, at the Assistant Professor level.

The Department of Computer Science offers Master's and PhD programs in the Graduate College, and undergraduate programs in the College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences 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 computational biology, data mining, and distributed systems, that complements University-wide initiatives in computational sciences, energy/environment, and life sciences, and contributes towards the college-wide spire of excellence in Intelligent and Complex Systems in the College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences. Priority consideration will be given to applicants with scholarly interests and experience that further strengthen our existing research and teaching activities in these three thrust areas. Candidates for the possible second position will need a demonstrated research interest in computational biocomplexity. We are especially soliciting applications from scholars who will develop innovative approaches to computer science education geared toward preparing the national leaders. We encourage and support faculty diversity, thus, the successful candidates will have an understanding and commitment to diversity.

Founded in 1791, the University of Vermont is considered a public ivy and is consistently ranked as one of the top public universities in the United States.

Burlington and the surrounding area provide an environment rich in cultural and recreational activities. There are ample opportunities for interactions with local industries. The College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences is in a significant growth mode, poised to explode onto the national scene, and the new faculty members are expected to be instrumental in this process.

Candidates should have an earned doctorate in an appropriate discipline, a proven record of scholarly activities and the ability to teach multiple courses in a traditional computer science undergraduate curriculum. Successful candidates will be expected to make significant and balanced contributions to both teaching and research, including the development of a nationally-respected and externally funded research program. Current teaching responsibilities typically consist of three computer science courses per year with average enrollments of 25 students.
