applications for TWO posts (one Chaired Professorship and one
Readership (appx. Associate Professorship)), from candidates
with research of international standing in either of the
following TWO areas:
Algorithms and Computational Complexity
The appointee will have an excellent research record in any active
area of algorithms and computational complexity including: randomized
algorithms, approximation algorithms, combinatorial optimization,
algorithmic game theory, complexity theory, and distributed
algorithms. The successful candidate is anticipated to join the
Laboratory for Foundations of Computer Science within the School
of Informatics. The laboratory's current research in algorithms and
complexity covers randomized algorithms, algorithmic game theory,
computational complexity, approximation algorithms, combinatorial
and stochastic optimization, algebraic complexity, quantum computing,
and descriptive complexity.
Computer Security
The appointee will have an outstanding research record in one or more
areas of computer security. Areas that match our current strengths
include: theoretical foundations of security, database security,
programming language based security, security properties of mobile
and concurrent systems, automated logical analysis of protocol
correctness, and security analysis of APIs. Applications are also
highly encouraged from areas that complement our current strengths:
cryptography and network security. The post will be associated with
the Scottish Informatics and Computer Science Alliance (SICSA) and it
is anticipated that the appointee will join the Laboratory for
Foundations of Computer Science (LFCS).
There are two posts. Candidates for either post (Professor or Reader)
may be from either area of interest.
Salary details:
Chair Professorship:
Grade 10 - salary from 53,650 British Pounds (GBP) pa.
Reader:
Grade 9 - salary 47,278 to 52,086 GBP pa.
Appointment at lecturer level (approximately Assistant Professor)
(grade 8: 36,532 - 43,622 GBP pa)
may be considered for a less experienced, but exceptional candidate.
Informal enquiries about the positions can be made to Professor Philip
Wadler, Director of LFCS (telephone+44 131 650 5174, email:
wadler@inf.ed.ac.uk), to Dr Mary Cryan (telephone: +44 131 650 5153,
email: mcryan@inf.ed.ac.uk), Dr. Rahul Santhanam (telephone: ++44 131
651 5606, email: rsanthan@inf.ed.ac.uk), and Dr. Kousha Etessami (+44
131 650 5197, email: kousha@inf.ed.ac.uk).
Closing date for applications for both posts: 26 February 2010.
