Announcement of Opening for
Tenure-track Assistant Professor
The Department of Computer Science at Iowa State University is
seeking outstanding candidates to fill a tenure-track position, to
commence in August, 2009. We are especially interested in applicants
at the assistant professor level in Software Engineering. Successful
candidates will have demonstrated potential for outstanding research
and instruction in computer science. A Ph.D. or equivalent in
computer science, software engineering, or a closely related field is
required.
Our department currently consists of 27 full-time tenure-track
faculty members. We offer B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Computer
Science and participate in new B.S. degrees in Software Engineering
and in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. We are active in
interdepartmental graduate programs in Bioinformatics and
Computational Biology, Human-Computer Interactions, and Information
Assurance. We have about 259 B.S. students, 67 M.S. students, and 102
Ph.D. students. Almost all Ph.D. students are supported by research
or teaching assistantships. We have strong research and educational
programs in Algorithms and Complexity, Artificial Intelligence,
Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, Databases, Data Mining,
Information Assurance, Programming Languages, Multimedia Systems,
Operating Systems and Networks, Robotics, and Software Engineering.
Our department has over $4.2 million in active research grants. With
the above interdisciplinary activities included, we contribute to
active research and training grants totaling approximately $20 million.
A dynamic faculty, a moderate teaching load (typically 3 courses per
year with one course reduction for active researchers and possible
further reductions for junior faculty), a strong graduate program,
and a well-funded research program provide an excellent academic
environment. In addition, cutting-edge research and education are
nurtured through interdisciplinary interactions facilitated by the
Laurence H. Baker Center for Bioinformatics and Biological
Statistics, the Center for Computational Intelligence, Learning and
Discovery, the Center for Integrative Animal Genomics, the Cyber
Innovation Institute, the Information Assurance Center, the
Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory, and the Virtual Reality
Application Center.
