FYI, the Dept. of Computer Science at the University of Rochester is
currently conducting a faculty search, for which algorithms is among
the areas explicitly mentioned (and I suspect one can construe that
broadly, so researchers developing/analyzing algorithms in the context
of a focus area such as algorithmic game theory or crypto or
computational geometry or etc., etc., etc. should not in any way
hesitate to apply). If you know of bright graduating graduate
students (or others) who might be interested in the position, would
you please forward this message (which below includes a copy of the
job announcement) to them? Thank you very much, and wishing you happy
theorems and happy holidays!
Cheers,
Lane (Lane A. Hemaspaandra) [and the job ad is below]

University of Rochester
Department of Computer Science
Assistant to Full Professor of Computer Science
The UR Department of Computer Science seeks applicants for a
tenure-track position for 2010. Candidates in computer vision, machine
learning, networks, security, or algorithms are of particular
interest, but strong applicants from all areas of computer science are
welcome. Candidates must have a PhD in computer science or related
discipline. Senior candidates should have an extraordinary record of
scholarship, leadership, and funding.
The Department of Computer Science is one of the best small,
research-oriented departments in the nation, with an unusually
collaborative culture and strong ties to cognitive science,
linguistics, and electrical and computer engineering. Over the past
decade, a third of its PhD graduates have won tenure-track faculty
positions, and its alumni include leaders at major research
laboratories such as Google, Microsoft, and IBM.
The University of Rochester is a private, Tier I research institution
located in western New York State. The University of Rochester
consistently ranks among the top 30 institutions, both public and
private, in federal funding for research and development. Half of its
undergraduates go on to post-graduate or professional education. The
university includes the Eastman School of Music, a premiere music
conservatory, and the University of Rochester Medical Center, a major
medical school, research center, and hospital system. The Rochester
area features a wealth of cultural and recreational opportunities,
excellent public and private schools, and a low cost of living.
Candidates should apply online at
http://www.cs.rochester.edu/recruit. Review of applications will begin
on Dec. 1, 2009, and continue until all interview openings are
filled. 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.
