Grove City College

Professor of Computer Science

Grove City College announces a faculty opening in the Department of Computer Science beginning in August 2012. A Ph.D. in Computer Science or a closely related field is required. Responsibilities include teaching both lower-level and upper-level Computer Science courses, guiding student undergraduate-research projects, and developing innovative pedagogy.

Candidates must evidence a strong record of classroom teaching, scholarship within their field, and a commitment to instructing highly motivated students (1244/1600 average SAT for entering freshmen). Rank and salary are commensurate with qualifications. Grove City College is a nationally recognized, truly independent, highly selective college of liberal arts, sciences, and engineering where intellectual inquiry remains open to the questions religion raises and affirms the answers Christianity offers.

Send letter of application, vita, transcripts, names of four references (three professional and one pastoral), a brief statement of how you would engage undergraduates in your research plans, and a four to five paragraph essay relating your philosophy of a liberal arts education and teaching Computer Science to the College’s unique mission as a Christian college (see www.gcc.edu) to: William P. Anderson, Jr.; Ph.D., Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, Grove City College, 100 Campus Drive, Grove City, PA 16127- 2104 or electronically to laklaiber@gcc.edu. Review of applications commences immediately. In a continuing effort to enrich its academic and social environment, the college actively encourages applications from members of all ethnic groups.

Grove City College is a private educational institution noted for its academic excellence where scholarship is informed by Christian principles. It does not discriminate on the basis of age, race, color, creed, sex, marital status, disability, or national or ethnic origin in the administration of its educational policies, admission policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other college-administrative programs.

Communications offers young scientists in in-
formation technology the opportunity to develop
their own research program addressing impor-
tant problems in areas such as
˲ image communication
˲ computer graphics
˲ geometric computing
˲ imaging systems
˲ computer vision
˲ human machine interface
˲ distributed multimedia architectures
˲ multimedia networking
˲ visual media security
The center includes an outstanding group of
faculty members at Stanford’s Computer Science
and El¬ectrical Engineering Departments, the
Max Planck Institute for Informatics, and Saar-
land University.

Applicants to the program must have completed an outstanding PhD. Exact duration of the preparatory postdoc phase is flexible, but we typically expect this to be about 1-2 years. Applicants who completed their PhD in Germany may enter Phase I of the program directly. Applicants for Phase II are expected to have completed a post-doc stay abroad and must have demonstrated their outstanding research potential and ability to successfully lead a research group.

Reviewing of applications will commence on
May 1, 2012. The final deadline is June 30, 2012.
Applicants should submit their CV, copies of
their school and university reports, list of pub-
lications, reprints of five selected publications,
names of references, a brief description of their
previous research and a detailed description of
the proposed research project (including possi-
ble opportunities for collaboration with existing
research groups at Saarbrücken and Stanford) to:
Prof. Dr. Hans-Peter Seidel
Max Planck Institute for Informatics,
Campus E 1 4, 66123 Saarbrücken, Germany;
Email: mpc-vcc@mpi-inf.mpg.de
The Max Planck Center is an equal opportu-
nity employer and women are encouraged to ap-
ply. Additional information is available on the
