level starting Fall 2008. Applicants must have a doctorate in computer science or a closely related discipline and demonstrate a commitment to excellence in undergraduate education. The successful candidate is expected primarily to teach undergraduate courses in computer science and contribute to the discipline through active research and/or other scholarly activities. He/She can also teach at the graduate level and supervise M.S. and Ph.D. students.

The Computer Science Department at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette

(UL Lafayette) is one of the first established in the nation. The department consists of 8 faculty members, and several part-time faculty and adjunct instructors. It has about 300 majors, and offers a curriculum that has been accredited by CSAB since 1987. Computing equipment specifically allocated to undergraduates includes a Unix lab of over 170 SUN workstations and a Windows NT lab of many PCs. UL Lafayette, http://www.louisiana.edu, has the distinction of having the first ACM student chapter in the country, as well as the first Louisiana chapter of the UPE honor society. The Princeton Review included UL Lafayette as one of The Best 357 Colleges in its 2005 and 2006 guides and UL Lafayette is also included in the top 20 “Cool Schools” chosen by Careers and Colleges magazine as well as The Princeton Review.

All faculty members in the department maintain an active research program. Areas of research include cognitive science, computer science education, human computer interaction, video game design, scientific visualization, software engineering, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. The department has a very close relationship with The Center for Advanced Computer Studies, http://www. cacs.louisiana.edu, which contributes to a stimulating research environment that is exceptional among undergraduate departments. The department also has a close relationship with LITE (Louisiana Immersive Technologies Enterprise) and CBIT (Center for Business & Information Technologies).

The University of Louisiana at Lafayette is located in a city with a population of about 120,000. It is the cultural and commercial center of Acadiana, which is the region settled by the French-speaking population of Acadians who were exiled from Nova Scotia in the eighteenth century.

Culturally, the region is characterized by a joie de vivre, or joy of life. Acadiana residents are hard working and fun loving. Fairs and festivals throughout the year celebrate everything from A to Z alligators to zydeco music. For more than a decade, the annual Festival International de Louisiane has showcased musicians from French-speaking countries from

around the world. For more information, see http://www.lafayette.org.
