Title: Assistant, Associate or Full Professor
Search #: AA2245
With dedicated financial support from the state, the University of
Washington has recently established an "eScience Institute". The
overall objective of the Institute is to help position the University
at the forefront of research both in modern computational science
techniques and technologies (sensor networks, data management, data
analysis, etc.) and in the fields that depend upon these techniques
and technologies. We are searching for a faculty member who has made
outstanding contributions to eScience methodology and has advanced the
forefront in one of the application domains either through his/her own
work or through collaboration with domain scientists. An ideal
candidate would be qualified for a joint appointment in a "methodology
department" (Applied Mathematics, Computer Science & Engineering,
Mathematics, or Statistics) and in an "application department"
(Astronomy, Biology, Genome Sciences, Oceanography, ...). We
anticipate a hire at the tenured level rapidly providing leadership,
although assuming the "Directorship" of the eScience Institute is not
a necessity.
Please submit your application through the Web site http://escience.washington.edu/apply. Priority will be given to applications received by 31 January 2009, although the search will continue till the position is filled.
Applicants must have earned a doctorate by the date of
appointment. Appointments at the Assistant Professor, Associate
Professor and Professor ranks will be considered. All University of
Washington faculty engage in teaching, research, and service. UW is an
affirmative action, equal opportunity employer. We have a culturally
diverse faculty and staff and strongly encourage applications from
women, minorities, individuals with disabilities and covered veterans.
Position contingent on budgetary approval.
