Junior Endowed Chair in Computer Science

University of California, Santa Barbara

The Department of Computer Science at the University of California, Santa Barbara, has established a new Endowed Chair to recruit an assistant professor who shows the potential to become a leader in Computer Science research. The Endowment will provide the appointee with annual funds towards his or her research, teaching, and public service. We seek applications from outstanding candidates in all areas of computer science to fill this tenure-track position effective July 2008.

The Department of Computer Science has grown rapidly, both in size and stature, over the past 10 years, accompanied by a five-fold increase in extramural funding. The department, with 30 faculty and more than 100 doctoral students, is part of the College of Engineering, which is ranked among the top 20 in the nation by the 2007 US News and World Report. Additional information about the department and our graduate program can be found at http://www.cs.ucsb.edu. Applicants are expected to hold a doctoral degree in Computer Science or a related field, show outstanding research potential, and have a strong commitment to teaching.

Primary consideration will be given to applications received by December 15, 2007; however, the position will remain open until filled. Applications should be submitted electronically as PDF documents to: http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/recruit. Applications must include a detailed resume, research and teaching statements, and the names and addresses of four references.

The Department is especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community through research, teaching, and service. We are an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer.
