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

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

Applicants should send a letter of application, resume, three letters of recommendation
(at least one of which should address teaching)
and any other supporting material to:

computational aspects of genomics and bioinformatics. Experience in interdisciplinary collaboration is an important asset. Exceptional
candidates from areas outside of computer science are also encouraged to apply.
The faculty will be housed in contiguous
space dedicated to the Center, and will have
access to a high-end computing infrastructure
through the University of Maryland Institute
for Advanced Computer Studies.
Applicants should apply online at
