[Bobby Bodenheimer]

Visualization is an area of interest in our faculty search this year.

THE DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING AND COMPUTER SCIENCE (EECS) AT
VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY is seeking candidates for two tenured/tenure-track
(T/TK) faculty positions. Appointments at all ranks will be considered; we
prefer to fill at least one position at the assistant professor of computer
science rank. Successful candidates are expected to teach at the
undergraduate and graduate levels and to develop and grow vigorous programs
of externally funded research. Areas of focus for this search are: (1)
*Computer
Assisted Surgery and Interventions.* We seek world-class expertise in
medical image and signal analysis, computer vision, and medical robotics.
The successful candidate will expand the CS curriculum in these areas and
have a strong interest in translational research, collaboration with the
Vanderbilt University Medical Center, and will be expected to engage with
the Vanderbilt Institute in Surgery and Engineering (VISE:
http://www.vanderbilt.edu/vise). VISE’s mission is the creation,
development, implementation, clinical evaluation and translation of
methods, devices, algorithms, and systems designed to facilitate surgical
and interventional processes and their outcome. (2) *Big Data/Data
Science/AI.* We seek world-class expertise in broadly defined areas of data
science, machine learning, data mining, visualization, computer vision,
and/or artificial intelligence. The Vanderbilt CS program provides a
unique, collaborative, and interdisciplinary research environment. New
trans-institutional programs are creating opportunities for research on
issues of broad significance that create and extend collaborations across
multiple fields.

            Vanderbilt University is a private, internationally renowned
