[Mary Wais]

The Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Chicago
(UIC) invites applications for multiple tenure-track faculty positions at
all levels, to begin August 2014. All candidates should have (or soon have)
a doctorate in Computer Science or a related field and demonstrate
significant scholarship in one of the following areas: visualization,
computer graphics, human-computer interaction and computer supported
cooperative work. Candidates will be expected to carry out world class
research, collaborate with faculty from a wide range of disciplines, and
teach effectively at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Senior
candidates must have an outstanding research record in the computer science
topics listed above, a strong record of funded research, demonstrated
leadership in collaborative research, and an excellent teaching record at
the undergraduate and graduate level.

Successful candidates will have the opportunity to become part of the
research team at the UIC Electronic Visualization Laboratory (EVL). EVL,
established in 1973, represents the oldest formal collaboration between
engineering and art in the country, specializing in the design and
development of visualization, virtual-reality and collaboration systems
utilizing high-performance networks. Recent key projects include SAGE™
(Scalable Adaptive Graphics Environment), the CAVE2™ Hybrid Reality
Environment, and the TransLight/StarLight project prototyping innovative
100Gb transoceanic services. For more information on EVL, see
http://www.evl.uic.edu/.

UIC ranks among the nation’s top 50 universities in federal research
funding and is ranked the fourth best U.S. university under 50 years old by
Times Higher Education. It also is home to the largest medical school in
the country. The UIC Computer Science Department is a leading department
within the University; it has 24 tenure-track faculty members and offers
BS, MS and PhD degrees. It has annual research expenditures of $9.4M,
primarily federally funded. The faculty includes two ACM Fellows and nine
NSF CAREER award recipients. UIC is an excellent place for
interdisciplinary research; Computer Science faculty is engaged in many
cross-departmental collaborations with faculty from engineering, health
sciences, social sciences, urban planning, education, design, arts, and
business. For more information on the Computer Science Department, see

Chicago epitomizes the modern, livable, vibrant city. Located on the shore
of Lake Michigan, it offers an outstanding array of recreational and
cultural experiences. As the birthplace of the modern skyscraper, Chicago
boasts one of the world’s tallest and densest skylines, combined with an
extensive system of parks and public transit. Yet the cost of living,
whether in an 85th floor condominium downtown or on a tree-lined street in
one of the nation’s finest school districts, is surprisingly low.

Applications must be submitted at https://jobs.uic.edu/. Please include a
resume, teaching and research statements, and contact information for three
professional references in the online application. Applicants needing
additional information may contact the Faculty Search Chair at
EVLsearch at cs.uic.edu. For fullest consideration please apply by January 10,
2014. UIC is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer. Salary will
be commensurate with experience. The positions will remain open until
filled.
