<p class="MsoNormal">Members of the Corpora list may be interested in the following post advertised at Lancaster University, in particular the cybersecurity, digital forensics or social computing areas.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Reader<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Lancaster University - School of Computing and Communications<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Ref: A299<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Salary: £46,696 - £52,556 <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Closing date: 25 November 2011<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Lancaster's School of Computing and Communications integrates the University's long-established research and teaching activities in Computer Science and Communications Engineering. As part of an investment programme that has already seen
us fill two new posts in 2011, we now wish to appoint a new Readership (equivalent to Associate Professor in the US system).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For this Readership post we wish to encourage applications from well-established senior researchers in one of the following areas (although strong applications in other areas will also be considered):<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">1. Software engineering: we particularly encourage those with a multidisciplinary perspective on software engineering and/or those applying software engineering principles in emerging areas such as Cloud Computing, Service Engineering or
Adaptive Systems.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2. Security: cybersecurity, digital forensics, identity management, privacy management; we particularly encourage those interested in novel engineering methodologies and tools related to these security domains.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">3. Social computing: social networks, data mining, semantic web, recommender systems, social media intelligence.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">4. Networking: next-generation networks and Internet architectures, security and resilience in communication networks.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">5. Communications systems: network coding and signal processing, information theory.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For context, the School's research spans the following general areas: Communications and Networking, Computer Systems, Intelligent Systems, Software Engineering and Human-Computer Interaction. We value research that cuts across traditional
research fields and encourage multidisciplinary research with high impact. Our work is applied in a wide range of domains including energy, transport, cyber crime and social computing.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You will have a substantial international reputation and a strong research vision. You will also have the capability to develop and lead a research team, to secure significant research funding, and to contribute towards the impact of our
research. Teaching is important to us, and we expect you to be a committed teacher and to contribute to the development of our portfolio of courses, including our international partnerships.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you are interested in this post we invite you to contact the Head of School (Prof. Geoff Coulson) for an informal discussion (geoff@comp.lancs.ac.uk; +1524 510306).<o:p></o:p></p>
