My department has advertised two full-time, permanent faculty positions at any rank . Theoretical Computer Science is not the department's highest priority in hiring at this moment in time, but it is mentioned as one of the areas of interest, alongside Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, Data Science
and Machine Learning, and Software Engineering. Do consider applying if you are theoretically minded, your work has, or has the potential to have, impact on any of those fields, and you'd like to join our academic family and relocate to Iceland. The call is below and at https://jobs.50skills.com/ru/
Two faculty positions in Computer Science at Reykjavik University
The
Department of Computer Science at Reykjavik University invites
applications for two full-time, permanent faculty positions at any rank
in the fields of Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, Data Science
and Machine Learning, Software Engineering, and Theoretical Computer
Science. For one of the positions, we will give preferential treatment
to excellent applicants in Software Engineering, broadly construed.
However, the primary evaluation criterion is scientific quality.
Outstanding candidates in other areas of Computer Science are encouraged
to apply as well. See https://jobs.50skills.com/ru/
We
are looking for energetic, highly qualified academics with a proven
international research record and excellent potential in their field of
study. We particularly welcome applications from researchers who have a
strong network of research collaborators, can strengthen internal
collaborations within the department, have the proclivity to improve
their academic environment and its culture, and have the drive and
potential to flourish in our environment. The Department of Computer
Science at Reykjavik University is characterised by a flat hierarchical
structure and every faculty member is expected to act like a principal
investigator regardless of their level of employment.
Apart
from developing their research career, the successful applicants will
play a full part in the teaching and administrative activities of the
department, teaching courses and supervising students at both graduate
and undergraduate level. Applicants with a demonstrated history of
excellence in teaching are preferred.
Salary and rank are
commensurate with experience. Successful applicants receive a relocation
budget, some seed research funding in the first two years of their
employment and support for one PhD student. Among other benefits,
Reykjavik University offers its research staff the option to take
research semesters (sabbaticals) every three years of satisfactory
teaching and research activity and provides some additional financial
support during those semesters.
The positions are open until
filled, with intended starting date in August 2023. Later starting dates
can be negotiated, but preference will be given to candidates who can
take up their position in August 2023. The deadline for applications is
January 27, 2023. The review of the applications will begin in late
January 2023 and will continue until the positions are filled.
A
PhD in Computer Science or a related field is required. Applications
should be submitted through the university’s online application
submission system and should include the following documents:
- a cover letter specifying whether the candidate is applying for appointment as an assistant, associate, or full professor,
- a CV with a full list of publications,
- links to three to five major publications,
- a research statement,
- a teaching statement,
- supporting material regarding excellence in teaching, if available, and
- any other relevant information the applicant wishes to supply.
