The CIS department seeks applicants for one or more full-time tenure-track faculty positions be-ginning fall, 2009. We anticipate appointments at the rank of Assistant Professor; however, in the case of exceptionally qualified candidates appointments at any rank may be considered. The University of Oregon is an AAU research university located in Eugene, two hours south of Portland, and within one hour's drive of both the Pacific Ocean and the snow-capped Cascade Mountains.
The CIS department is housed within the College of Arts and Sciences and part of the recently dedicated Lorry Lokey Science Complex. The College appreciates the increasing role that computer science plays in other disciplines and supports our goals of strengthening our ties with the other sciences. Applicants interested in interdisciplinary research are encouraged to apply. We offer a stimulating and friendly environment for collaborative research both within the department and with other departments on campus. The CIS department is associated with the Cognitive and Decision Sciences Institute, the Computational Science Institute, the Neuro-Informatics Center, and the Computational Intelligence Research Laboratory.
This department recognizes that computer science is undergoing rapid change as an academic discipline, and accordingly seeks to hire faculty in emerging areas of computer science as well as more established areas including distributed computing, data mining, networking, computational science (visualization, high performance computing), and HCI (usability, accessibility, inter-faces). The CIS department offers B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. More information about the depart-ment, its programs and faculty can be found at http://www.cs.uoregon.edu, or by contacting the search committee at faculty.search@cs.uoregon.edu.
