[David Sontag]

TENURED/TENURE-TRACK FACULTY POSITIONS
Computer Science: Machine Learning & Big Data/Data Science
NYU Shanghai

New York University, one of the largest and most highly regarded private
universities in the United States, has established itself as a Global Network
University with three degree-granting campuses - New York, Shanghai, and
Abu Dhabi - complemented by 12 additional academic centers across five
continents. NYU has identified Data Science as one target area for growth, and
is planning to add multiple tenured/tenure track faculty members across its
campuses and across several departments.

NYU Shanghai is the first Sino-US higher-education joint venture to grant
a degree that is accredited in the US as well as in China. A research
university with liberal arts and sciences at its core, it resides in one
of the world's great cities, which is also a vibrant intellectual community
(http://shanghai.nyu.edu/). NYU Shanghai will recruit scholars who are
committed to our global vision of transformative teaching and innovative
research. New York University Faculty and students circulate within the
network in pursuit of common research interests and cross-cultural,
interdisciplinary endeavors, both local and global. The terms of employment in
NYU Shanghai are comparable to U.S. institutions. Faculty may also spend time
at NYU New York and other sites of the global network, engaging in both
research and teaching opportunities,  and have opportunities to collaborate
with the many research centers and groups at NYU, including our recently
launched centers for Data Science (CDS) and Urban Science and Progress (CUSP).

NYU Shanghai invites outstanding applications for two tenure-track or tenured
faculty appointments in Computer Science. Applicants to the first position
should have an active research program in machine learning and be dedicated
to making fundamental technical contributions in this vital area. Applicants
to the second position should have research interests related to big data and
data science as broadly defined, including database systems, data mining,
information retrieval, natural language processing, data visualization, and
applications in areas such as medicine, business, and the natural and social
sciences. Applicants must have demonstrated excellence in both research and
teaching. When discussing their teaching experience and interests, candidates
should identify courses they could teach both within and outside their
specialty. Candidates must have completed a Ph.D. or equivalent by the time
of appointment.

Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, a statement of research and
teaching interests, electronic copies of up to 5 recent relevant publications,
and the names and addresses of three or more individuals willing to provide
letters of reference, by the application deadline of Jan. 31, 2015. Please
