<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 create four new posts in 2011/12, we now wish to appoint 4 new lectureships. We particularly seek lecturers in i) Social Computing, ii) Software Engineering, iii) Cyber-security and iv) Communication Systems. However, we are also happy to consider well-qualified
candidates outside these areas: in such cases we ask that you apply for the named position that is closest to your area.<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 across 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">Teaching is equally important to us, and we expect all candidates to be committed teachers 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">The Lectureship in Social Computing (application deadline: 20th April 2012) will be of interest, for example, to those applying NLP to online social network data. Indicative areas: 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">If you are interested in any of these posts 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>
