iowa state university of science & technology Announcement of Lanh and Oanh Nguyen Endowed Chair in Software Engineering

INRIA is seeking applications for the position of Technology Development ( TD) Director, one of the five scientific directors of INRIA, a position located at INRIA headquarters near Paris.

The Director has to develop and manage the technology development activities of INRIA, to supervise all software and technology development activities, coordinate the support units for TD in the eight research centers and organize the technology development platforms. He or she implements the partnership policy for R&D in the field of software and technology development.

The Department of Computer Science at Iowa State University invites applications from distinguished scholars for the new Lanh and Oanh Nguyen Endowed Chair in Software Engineering beginning August, 2009. We are especially interested in candidates whose research integrates software engineering with other areas of computer science or interdisciplinary applications. The chair-holder will provide leadership in conducting research in advanced and emerging technologies, engage with top research institutions, stimulate transfer of innovative technologies to the private and public sec-

tors, and enhance student learning in the recently established software engineering B.S. program.

A Ph.D. or equivalent in computer science, software engineering, or a closely related field is required. The successful candidate must have a nationally and internationally recognized record of outstanding research and publication in software engineering as well as demonstrated leadership in instruction and in expanding funded research programs. It is anticipated that the chair-holder will have the credentials to join the department as a full professor.

Our department consists of 27 full-time tenure-track faculty members with a strong core of re-search-active software engineering faculty. We offer B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science and participate in new B.S. degrees in Software Engineering and in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. We also participate in interdepartmental graduate programs in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, Human-Computer Interactions, and Information Assurance. We have strong research and educational programs in Algorithms and Complexity, Artificial Intelligence, Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, Databases, Data Mining, Information Assurance, Programming Languages, Multimedia Systems, Operating Systems and Networks, Robotics, and Software Engineering. Our department has over $4.2 million in active research grants. Including the above interdisciplinary activities, we contribute to active research and training grants totaling approximately $20 million.

Applicants should send via email a curriculum vita including teaching and research statements, and the names and email addresses of at least five references, to endowedchair-search@ cs.iastate.edu.
