The Department of Informatics of the University of Zurich has a vacancy for a tenured
Professor of Database Technology
(Successor to Klaus R. Dittrich)
We seek applications from outstanding candidates with an excellent background and education in computer science and a focus on concepts, methods and tools for investigation, design and application of databases.
Involvement in teaching at all levels is expected.
Prerequisites include a doctoral degree, excellent scientific qualifications as demonstrated by habilitation or equivalent performance, as well as research and teaching experience in the subject. We explicitly encourage women with the appropriate qualifications to apply.
The position can either be filled at the full professor or at the associate professor level. In the latter case, a promotion to full can be considered at a later stage, given sufficient qualifications. Excellent candidates in the early stages of their academic careers, who do not yet fully qualify for a full professor position, but are strongly qualified at the associate professor level, are therefore encouraged to apply.
For detailed information about the position and its environment see http://www.ifi.uzh.ch/profdbt. You may also contact the chair of the search committee, Prof. Martin Glinz, http://www.ifi.uzh.ch/~glinz.
Applications, including the usual documents (CV, scientific career development, list of publications, references), should be submitted to: The Dean of the Faculty of Economics, Business Administration and Information Technology, University of Zurich, Raemistrasse 71, CH-8006 Zurich, Switzerland.
To ensure full consideration, applications must be received by September 10, 2008.
