Knowledge Discovery from Digital Information Research Cluster
Tenured and Tenure-Track Positions
University of North Texas

Positions
The University of North Texas (UNT: http://www.unt.edu) has embarked on a
major, multi-year initiative (http://research.unt.edu/clusters) to hire
new faculty and make infrastructure improvements to enhance and expand
research. In this context, UNT invites applications for two positions:
Associate or Full Professor (tenured) in the area of Information
Visualization; and Assistant Professor (tenure-track) in the area of
Machine Learning. These hires will be an integral part of UNT's new
interdisciplinary research cluster, Knowledge Discovery from Digital
Information (KDDI, http://kddi.unt.edu), which is a collaborative
initiative of the College of Engineering, the College of Information, and
UNT Libraries (http://web3.unt.edu/news/story.cfm?story=12049). Candidates
will develop synergies to further strengthen the existing core emphases
in: 1) Data mining and natural language processing; 2) Digital curation
and information retrieval; and 3) Image, audio, and video processing.
Successful candidates will have established international reputations with
a record of significant and sustained research and scholarly output;
candidates should also have a successful record of research funding.

Rank and Salary
The selected candidates will be appointed at the rank of Associate/Full
Professor with tenure and tenure-track Assistant Professor respectively.
Salaries, benefits, and teaching loads are commensurate with a major
research university.

Responsibilities
Responsibilities of these positions include developing a nationally
recognized research program as part of the newly formed KDDI Research
Cluster. Candidates are expected to lead a successful research program,
attract extramural funding, and teach graduate and undergraduate courses.
The new faculty members will have significant opportunity to shape
expansion and growth of this cluster with additional hires in subsequent
years.

Qualifications
The positions require an earned doctorate in Computer Science, Information
Science, or a closely related field. An established record of scholarship
and publication is required. A record of interdisciplinary activities is
desired. For senior position candidates, an active, externally funded
research program and an excellent publication record are also required, as
is a record of mentoring graduate students.  The search committee prefers
candidates for the Assistant Professor position to have a track record of
preparation and research productivity consistent with the potential to
develop and sustain an externally-funded, cutting-edge research program.

Associate/Full Professor position and the Assistant Professor position for
