Positions in Interdisciplinary Research in Data Science</p><p class="MsoNormal">The University of Rochester has made data science the
centerpiece of its 5-year strategic plan, committing to 20 new faculty lines in
diverse areas, a new building, and the establishment of the Goergen Institute
for Data Science. We are currently seeking applicants for tenure track or
tenured positions in interdisciplinary research areas within data science. This
search complements department-specific searches in data science currently
underway.</p><p class="MsoNormal">The interdisciplinary search focuses on recruiting candidates
who are excited about engaging in collaborative research that connects advances
in computational models and methods to the humanities, sciences, or
medicine. Successful candidates will
receive a primary appointment in one of the departments supporting the search,
and a secondary appointment in at least one other department. Departments and
programs supporting this search include Biomedical Engineering, Brain &
Cognitive Sciences, Computer and Electrical Engineering, Computer Science,
Digital Media Studies (a program of Art & Art History, English, and
History), Linguistics, and Political Science. Potential cross-appointments with
the School of Medicine and Dentistry will also be considered.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Focus areas for this year’s interdisciplinary search are:<o:p class=""></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:.5in;mso-add-space:auto;
