Tenure Track Positions

The Department of Computer Science of the University of Colorado at
Boulder is seeking applications for a number of tenure track faculty
positions.  While we expect most of the appointments to be at the
Assistant Professor level, we will consider outstanding candidates at
all levels.

The Department is currently recruiting to fill two positions in the area of
machine learning.  We are particularly interested applicants whose work
expands the theoretical foundations of machine learning, and applicants who
apply theoretically-grounded techniques to solving practical, real-world
problems and/or understanding the brain from a cognitive neuroscience
perspective.

The University of Colorado has a diverse faculty interested in issues of neural
and statistical computation (http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~mozer/ns.html), and
is particularly strong in the areas of speech recognition, natural language
processing, computational modeling of human cognition, and human-machine
interfaces.  An explosion of local start-ups with research activities in
machine learning enriches the university community and furnishes a wealth
of collaborative opportunities.

The Department has 39 faculty (including five new members who have
joined this year), 191 graduate students, and 565 undergraduates. 
The Department has received four successive five-year NSF CER and RI
awards to support its computing infrastructure and collaborative
research among its faculty, most recently for the period 2000-2005. In
the recent NSF ITR competition our faculty participated in proposals
funded for more than $13.5M.  The faculty is also proud of its record
in offering an outstanding educational experience to our students.  We
are seeking new colleagues who share our commitment to the ideals of
the research university as a uniquely valuable institution in our
society, combining the creation of new knowledge with the shaping of
future leaders.

Our location in Boulder offers a pleasant college town ambience, easy
access to the great outdoors, and participation in a vibrant,
rapidly-growing high tech industry community.  A recent study by a
major telecommunications startup identified Boulder County as the most
attractive setting nationally to which to recruit staff.  Our alumni
are playing important roles in creating the next generation of
technology and technology companies here and elsewhere.

More information about the Department can be found at
http://www.cs.colorado.edu.

Review of applications will begin immediately, and continue as long as
positions are open. We expect to have positions in future years as
well as for appointments beginning in academic year 2001-2002, and we
welcome inquiries about these future opportunities.

Because we have a number of positions available, we  would be glad to
receive inquiries from research collaborators interested in joining
our faculty together. We also welcome applications from academic
couples wishing to co-locate.

Applicants should send a current curriculum vitae, the names of four
references, and one-page statements of research and teaching interests
to Professor Clayton Lewis, Search Committee Chair, Department of
Computer Science, Campus Box 430, University of Colorado, Boulder, CO
80309-0430.

The University of Colorado at Boulder is committed to diversity and
equality in education and  employment.
