[Kenji Doya]

	Open Faculty Positions in Computer Science at OIST

Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST, https://www.oist.jp/ ) is building a new focus in Computer Science as part of its planned expansion and invites applications for its new faculty positions. Targeted areas for the current search include Data Science, Machine Learning, and Next-generation Computing. We aim to recruit scientists who create original computing frameworks based on novel mathematical insights and/or emerging new hardware, including quantum devices.

Excellent scholarship and creativity will be the main criteria. We are particularly interested in scholars who complement and extend existing strengths at OIST and have the potential to interact broadly with the interdisciplinary OIST community. Appointments will be Tenure-Track or Tenured. Starting date is flexible.

Faculty positions at OIST are associated with generous internal funding including several postdoc positions. OIST provides excellent computing infrastructures, including clusters of CPU and GPU nodes. Research and teaching are conducted in English.

	Application Deadline: August 31, 2018 (EDT)

A search committee member, Kenji Doya, will be at WCCI and IJCAI in the coming weeks. If you are interested in hearing more about OIST and the positions, please contact doya at oist.jp .
