RICE UNIVERSITY, Department of Computer Science

We are now accepting applications for faculty positions.

The Department of Computer Science at Rice University seeks applications for a tenure-track faculty appointment to start in July 2008. We welcome outstanding candidates in all areas of computer science. We are particularly looking for candidates with interests and experience in any aspect of computer systems, including but not limited to, computer architecture, databases, distributed systems, networking, and operating systems. We anticipate hiring at the rank of Assistant Professor; exceptional candidates at a higher rank will be considered. The Department and its associated research groups also have openings for research positions, including research faculty, research scientists, and postdoctoral researchers. The availability of research positions is contingent on external funding.

Applicants for both tenure-track faculty and research positions should hold a Ph.D. degree or equivalent in computer science or a related discipline, or expect to complete such requirements prior to assuming an appointment. A commitment to excellence in both research and teaching is required for a tenure-track appointment. Early applications will be appreciated.

The department has access to superb research facilities, including parallel and multiprocessor systems laboratories, two terascale computers, large networks of workstations, and a high-speed network test bed. The university is located across the street from the Texas Medical Center, one of the premiere centers for medical research in the country. Houston’s oil, medical, aerospace, and technology communities all combine to make it a center for many kinds of computation, from high-performance computing through real-time and embedded systems.

Rice University is a private university with a strong reputation for academic excellence in both undergraduate education and in research. Rice attracts outstanding undergraduate and graduate students from across the nation and around the world. Rice provides a stimulating environment for research, teaching, and joint projects with industry. Teaching loads are low to accommodate faculty research.

The deadline for applications is January 15, 2008, but earlier submissions are appreciated. Please specify whether you are applying for a tenure-track faculty position or a research position.
