Tenure-track Faculty Position in Machine Learning
Department of Computer Science, Virginia Tech
The Department of Computer Science at Virginia Tech
(http://www.cs.vt.edu)
invites applications for a full-time tenure-track
position, at the rank of Assistant Professor, from
candidates with expertise in machine learning.
The department is in the midst of making multiple
hires over multiple years in this and related areas.
Candidates should have a PhD in Computer Science,
Machine Learning or related discipline at the time
of appointment; a strong record of scholarship in
computing and interdisciplinary areas; interest in
tackling real problems and forging multidisciplinary
collaborations; demonstrated ability to contribute
to teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels
in ML, AI, and related subjects; sensitivity to issues
of diversity in the campus community; and the skills
to establish and grow a successful research group.
Selected candidates are expected to travel occasionally
to attend professional conferences/meetings.
The Department of Computer Science has 36 research
oriented tenure-track faculty and 11 research faculty.
There are a total 12 NSF/DOE CAREER award winners
in the department. Research expenditures during FY2013
were $11.7 million; total research funding at the
beginning of FY2014 was $34 million. BS, MS, and PhD
degrees are offered, with an enrollment of over 550
undergraduate majors (12% women) and over 200 PhD/MS
students. In 2010, CS@VT was ranked 5th in the country
in recruiting quality of CS undergrads by the Wall Street
Journal. The department is in the College of Engineering,
whose undergraduate program was ranked 6th and graduate
program was ranked 12th among public engineering schools
in 2013 by US News and World Report.
There are three research centers associated with the
department. The new interdisciplinary Discovery Analytics
Center dac.cs.vt.edu focuses on 'big data' problems in
areas of national interest including intelligence analysis,
sustainability and health informatics. The Center for
Human-Computer Interaction www.hci.vt.edu supports
research in visualization, 3D interfaces, virtual
reality, usability and personal information systems.
The Center for High End Computing Systems
(http://www.checs.eng.vt.edu)
is known for its expertise in high performance computing,
including energy efficient and/or heterogeneous
supercomputers. Recently, we designed and acquired
HokieSpeed, a CPU/GPU 200+ node machine for use by
computational scientists and engineers across campus
through a $2M NSF MRI grant. HokieSpeed ranked 11th
in the world on the Green 500 List in November 2011.
CS faculty also participate in the Ted and Karyn Hume
Center for National Security and Technology,
http://www.hume.ictas.vt.edu, a cyber security center.
Virginia Tech is a comprehensive research university
with over 31,000 students. This hire is for the main
campus in Blacksburg, consistently ranked among the
country's best places to live
http://www.hr.vt.edu/great-place-to-work/culture-community
Salary for suitably qualified applicants is competitive
and commensurate with experience. Selected candidates
must pass a criminal background check prior to employment.
Applications must be submitted online to
https://jobs.vt.edu
for posting #117023 (direct link). We welcome
applications from women and minorities. Applicant
screening will begin December 15, 2013 and continue
until the position is filled. Early applications are
encouraged. Inquiries should be directed to Dr. Adrian
Sandu, Machine Learning Search Committee Chair,
sandu@cs.vt.edu.
Virginia Tech is an equal opportunity/affirmative action
institution.

Tenure-track Faculty Position in Human-Computer Interaction
Department of Computer Science, Virginia Tech
The Department of Computer Science at Virginia Tech
(http://www.cs.vt.edu)
invites applications for a full-time tenure-track position,
at the rank of Assistant Professor, from candidates with
expertise in human-computer interaction (HCI). The
department is especially interested in sub-areas of HCI
involving human interaction with big data or advanced
technologies, such as large-scale data visualization and
human-robot interaction, but candidates from all areas of
HCI are encouraged to apply. Candidates should have a PhD
in Computer Science or related discipline at the time of
appointment; a strong record of scholarship in human-computer
interaction and interdisciplinary areas; demonstrated ability
to contribute to teaching at the undergraduate and graduate
levels in HCI and related subjects; sensitivity to issues of
diversity in the campus community; and the skills to establish
and grow a multidisciplinary research group. Selected
candidates are expected to travel occasionally to attend
professional conferences/meetings.
CS faculty have been involved in HCI research since the
early days of the field, and lead the interdisciplinary
Center for Human-Computer Interaction hci.vt.edu, a
university-wide effort that brings together faculty with
strengths in multi-sensory interactive communication,
ecologies of displays and devices, social/collaborative
computing, and human aspects of data/information/knowledge.
Within CS, there are rich opportunities for collaboration
in data mining/machine learning, parallel and distributed
computing, computational biology and bioinformatics,
information retrieval, software engineering, cyber security,
cyber arts, and CS education. Beyond the department, HCI
faculty members collaborate with researchers in design and
the arts (the Institute for Creativity, Arts, and Technology),
in engineering and science (the Institute for Critical
Technology and Applied Science), and in education, business,
and liberal arts.
