[Ieee_vis_open_positions] University of Massachusetts Lowell, Computer Science: Tenure Track Assistant Professor -- (2 Positions)

[Dr. Haim Levkowitz]

The University of Massachusetts Lowell Department of Computer Science
invites applications for two tenure-track faculty positions at the
assistant professor rank, to start in September 2017.

We are looking to hire outstanding candidates in the preferred areas of
cyber security and data science. Strong candidates in other areas will also
be considered. The Department of Computer Science has an excellent track
record of research accomplishment and external funding, with current strong
and growing areas including cyber security, data science, robotics, and web
programming. Candidates with the ability to strengthen these areas, and who
can also strengthen the overall interdisciplinary role Computer Science is
taking in all sciences and disciplines, will be given preference. Very
strong candidates in all other areas will also be considered.

Candidates will be expected to develop their own research program and
encouraged to contribute to the collaborative research of existing
departmental groups as well as to interdisciplinary endeavors across the
campus and beyond. Candidates will be expected to teach undergraduate and
graduate courses, including department core and specialty areas based on
the candidate's expertise.

university with a national reputation in science, engineering, and
