[DMANET] Professor/Assistant Professor in Computer Science/Machine Learning/Robotics in St.Petersburg Academic University, Saint Petersburg, Russia

The Saint Petersburg Academic University of the Russian Academy of Sciences
(SPbAU RAS) is hiring full and associate professors to teach in a new
computer science program. Responsibilities include developing curriculum,
lecturing undergraduates, holding seminars and advising BSc and MSc
students on their theses and research projects. The teaching load is
expected to be 6-8 academic hours per week. Foreign candidates are welcome
as all students can study in English.

SPbAU was established in 1997 by the highly acclaimed physicist and Nobel
Prize laureate Zhores Alferov as a research and educational facility for
physics and IT. It is one of the very few state-accredited universities in
Russia to provide advanced BSc/MSc programs in cutting-edge computer
science fields, including bioinformatics or data science. With a lack of
bureaucracy in regards to the educational process, the academic staff at
SPbAU has exceptional flexibility in developing and updating curriculum to
keep up with the students' progress and recent advancements in the rapidly
changing world of computer science.

All students enrolled in the program stand out for their talent and great
potential, thanks to highly competitive entrance examinations. A third of
the freshmen had won prizes at the All-Russian Mathematical Olympiad for
high school students (the oldest and most reputable nationwide competition
in the country). In 2015, SPbAU had a highest average USE (Unified State
Exam) score among all Russian universities.
