Rutgers University - Newark (RU-N) seeks outstanding candidates to serve as
Henry Rutgers Term Chair in Computer and Data Science, with a specific
focus on computational methods in machine learning, or statistical modeling
of complex data sets in the sciences, engineering, business, or medical
fields. Recruitment is at the associate professor level; however,
exceptional candidates qualifying for the full professor rank may  be
considered.

This recruitment is part of the Rutgers University Strategic Plan to
strengthen Rutgers leadership in burgeoning fields, and part of the new
transdisciplinary research Institute for Data Science, Learning, and
Applications (I-DSLA). I-DSLA brings together computer scientists,
cognitive scientists, philosophers, and domain experts in neuroscience,
environmental science, chemistry, medicine, business, and other

knowledge about learning from data.

Applicants should hold a Ph.D. in Computer Science, Computational
Statistics, or a related field and have a record of excellent scholarship,
as demonstrated by significant publications and funding. They should be
open to collaborative research within the RU-N community and will be
