Washington university in saint Louis

Multiple tenure-track/tenured faculty positions

The Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) and the School of Medicine (WUSM) are jointly searching for multiple tenure-track faculty members with outstanding records of computing research and a serious interest in collaborative research on problems related to biology and/or medicine. Appointments may be made wholly within CSE or jointly with the Departments of Medicine or Pathology & Immunology.

A key initiative in the CSE Department’s strategic plan is Integrating Computing and Science. As part of that initiative, we expect to make synergistic hires with a combined research portfolio spanning the range from fundamental computer science/engineering to applied research focused on science or medicine. Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

Analysis of complex genetic, genomic, pro- ˲ teomic, and metabolomic datasets; Theory/Algorithms with the potential for bio- ˲ medical applications; Image analysis or visualization with the poten- ˲ tial for biomedical applications; Databases, medical informatics, clinical or ˲ public-health informatics; Computer engineering with applications to ˲ medicine or the natural sciences; All areas of computational biology and biomed- ˲ ical informatics

These positions will continue a successful, ongoing strategy of collaborative research between CSE and the School of Medicine, which is consistently ranked among the top 3 medical schools in the United States. CSE currently consists of 24 tenured and tenure-track faculty members, 71 Ph.D. students, and a stellar group of undergraduates with a history of significant research contributions. The Department seeks to build on and complement its strengths in biological sequence analysis, biomedical image analysis, and biomedical applications of novel computing architectures. Exceptional candidates conducting research in other areas of Computer Science are also encouraged to apply.

Washington University is a private university with roughly 6,000 full-time undergraduates and 6,000 graduate students. It has one of the most attractive university campuses anywhere, and is located in a lovely residential neighborhood, adjacent to one of the nation’s largest urban parks, in the heart of a vibrant metropolitan area. St. Louis is a wonderful place to live, providing access to a wealth of cultural and entertainment opportunities without the everyday hassles of the largest cities.

We anticipate appointments at the rank of Assistant Professor; however, in the case of exceptionally qualified candidates appointments at any rank may be considered. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, or a closely related field and a record of excellence in teaching and research appropriate to the appointment level. The selected candidate is expected to build an externally-supported research program, teach and mentor students at the graduate and undergraduate levels, and foster interdisciplinary interactions with colleagues throughout the university. Candidates who would contribute to enhancing diversity at the departmental and university levels are strongly encouraged to apply. Applications from academic couples are welcomed and encouraged.

Qualified applicants should submit a complete application (cover letter, curriculum vita, research statement, teaching statement, and names of at least three references) electronically by following the directions provided at http:// cse.wustl.edu/faculty-recruiting/. Other communications may be directed to Prof. Michael Brent, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Campus Box 1045, Washington University, One Brookings Drive, St. Louis, MO 63130-4899.

Applications submitted before January 31, 2010 will receive full consideration. Washington University is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer.
