[Kagan Tumer]

Oregon State is hiring in all areas of robotics.  Details at 
http://robotics.oregonstate.edu/jobs

The Oregon State University Robotics program seeks applications for 
full-­time faculty positions to support our M.S. and Ph.D. programs in 
Robotics. All areas of robotics will be considered. Appointments are 
anticipated at the Assistant Professor rank, but exceptionally strong 
candidates may be considered at the rank of Associate Professor or 
Professor. The successful candidates will have office and laboratory 
space physically located with the existing Robotics group, and will have 
an administrative home most appropriate to their area of expertise 
within the College of Engineering.  As a Land/Sea/Air/Space grant 
institution, with strong ties to oceanography and the NOAA fleet, as 
well as hosting an FAA UAV test site, there are many opportunities to 
collaborate across disciplines and utilize Robotics as an enabling 
technology.

Candidates should hold a Ph.D. in a robotics­ related discipline by the 
start of employment, and have a demonstrated record of scholarship. We 
particularly welcome candidates with a proven record of working with 
robots in real environments.  Duties include teaching undergraduate and 
graduate courses, conducting research, securing research funding, and 
service. Candidates should show evidence of strong research promise, 
potential for developing an externally-funded research program, and 
commitment to quality advising and teaching at the graduate and 
undergraduate levels.  Applicants who are women or under­represented 
minorities are strongly encouraged to apply.

Oregon State University is located in Corvallis, a college town renowned 
for its high quality of life. For full consideration, apply online by 
Feb 15, 2016 with a letter of interest; vita; two-page statement of 
research interests; one-page statement of teaching interests; one-page 
statement of philosophy toward equity, inclusion and diversity; and 
names and contact information for at least three references.
