Tenure-Track Faculty Positions
University of California, Irvine
Donald Bren School of Information & Computer Sciences Department of Informatics
The Department of Informatics in the Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) is seeking excellent candidates for one or more tenure-track positions. The Department is looking to both broaden and deepen its faculty, research, and educational strengths; and particularly welcomes applicants who complement its current areas of foci, including, but not limited to the following: software engineering, ubiquitous computing, programming languages and environments, information access and visualization, human-computer interaction, social informatics, organizational use of information systems, social studies of information technology, and computer-supported cooperative work. These positions are for appointment in July 2005 and are at the rank of assistant professor, although exceptional candidates at all ranks will be considered.
The Department of Informatics is one of three departments in the Bren School of ICS and is internationally recognized as a unique group of faculty, visiting researchers, students and, educational programs. Our faculty has diverse backgrounds, from computer science and information science to psychology and anthropology, befitting our vision of Informatics as an interdisciplinary study emphasizing the design, application, use, and impacts of information technology. Informatics goes beyond technical design, to focus on the relationship between information system design and use in real-world settings. For a perspective on the Informatics Department, the Bren School, and vision, see http://www.ics.uci.edu/informatics.
The Bren School of ICS is slated to grow substantially over the next decade with the ability to hire 10 endowed chairs (some in Informatics) and further expects to recruit additional new faculty. Thus, outstanding candidates in other research areas and at more senior levels are encouraged to contact us.
UCI is targeted as a growth campus for the University of California. It is one of the youngest UC campuses, yet ranked 12th among the nation's best public universities by US News & World Report. Salary and other compensation (including priority access to on-campus faculty housing) are competitive with the nation's finest public universities. For an overview of UCI, see http://www.uci.edu.
Applicants should have a Ph.D. in Computer Science, Information Science, or other relevant field and show strong teaching promise as well as research potential evidenced by scholarly publications. Senior applicants must also demonstrate a proven track record in funded research activities.
Screening will begin immediately upon receipt of a completed application.
Applications will be accepted until positions are filled, although maximum consideration will be given to applications received by January 15, 2005.
Completed applications containing a cover letter, curriculum vita, sample research publications, and three to five letters of recommendation should be uploaded electronically. Please refer to the following web site for instructions http://www.ics.uci.edu/employment/employ_faculty.php.
