> Dear colleagues,
>
> Tenure-Track Faculty Positions in Interdisciplinary Research in Data
> Science
>
> The University of Rochester has made data science the centerpiece of its
> 5-year strategic plan,
> committing to 20 new faculty lines in diverse areas, a new building, and
> the establishment of the
> Institute for Data Science. We are currently seeking applicants for tenure
> track positions in
> interdisciplinary research areas within data science. This search
> complements departmentspecific
> searches in data science currently underway.
>
> The interdisciplinary search focuses on recruiting candidates who are
> excited about engaging in
> collaborative research that connects advances in computational models and
> methods to other
> fields of engineering or life, social, or physical sciences. Successful
> candidates will receive a
> primary appointment in one of the departments supporting the search, and a
> secondary
> appointment in at least one other department. Departments supporting this
> search are
> Biomedical Engineering, Biology, Biostatistics & Computational Biology,
> Brain & Cognitive
> Sciences, Chemistry, Computer and Electrical Engineering, Computer
> Science, Earth &
> Environmental Sciences, Economics, Linguistics, Mathematics, Physics &
> Astronomy, and
> Political Science.
>
> Focus areas for this year’s interdisciplinary search are:
>
> ● Fundamental Methods in Machine Learning, Network Science, and Statistics
> Research on general computational methods for constructing systems for
> classification,
> prediction, classification, clustering, and related tasks from large-scale
> data. We are
> particularly interested in work on analyzing complex relational data using
> network
> models.
> ● Computational Linguistics, Computer Vision, and Computational Models of
> Human
> Perception
> Research in computational linguistics or computer vision, with a
> particular interest in
> work that spans shallow and deep semantic processing, and/or relates
> computational
> models to physiological models of perception. Candidates should have
> extensive
> experience with natural corpora and other rich databases.
> ● Computational Biology and Computational Bioengineering
> Research on computational approaches to analyze large, complex data sets
> in biology
> and biomedical engineering. Potential areas of research may include
> functional and
> evolutionary genomics, proteomics and protein folding, systems biology,
> multi-scale
> modeling in bioengineering, or multimodal bio-imaging informatics.
> ● Global Biogeochemistry
> Research that integrates biotic (e.g. microbial), chemical, and geological
> processes for
> an interdisciplinary research focus on understanding global geochemical
> cycling
> processes and/or global climate change. Applicants should have a strong
> computational
> and/or modeling component to their research aimed at mining, integrating,
> and/or
> interpreting large data sets.
>
> Instructions for applying for this search appear at:
>
> http://www.rochester.edu/rocdata/recruit/interdiscplinary
>
> Applicants should hold a PhD and will be required to supply a set of
> refereed scholarly
> publications, names of references, and research and teaching statements.
> The application will
> ask applicants to select a set of disciplines most relevant to their
> research area. Review of
> applications at any rank will begin immediately and continue until the
> positions are filled. For full
> consideration, applications should be received by January 1st, 2014.

> The University of Rochester is a private, Tier I research institution
> located in western New York
> State. It consistently ranks among the top 30 institutions, both public
> and private, in federal
> funding for research and development. The university has made substantial
> investments in
> computing infrastructure through the Center for Integrated Research
> Computing (CIRC) and the
> Health Sciences Center for Computational Innovation (HSCCI). The
> university includes the
> Eastman School of Music and the University of Rochester Medical Center, a
> major medical
> school, research center, and hospital system. The greater Rochester area
> is home to over a
> million people, including 80,000 students who attend the 8 colleges and
> universities in the
> region.
>
> The University of Rochester has a strong commitment to diversity and
> actively encourages
> applications from candidates from groups underrepresented in higher
> education. The University
> is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
