[DMANET] Christopher Strachey Professorship of Computing, University of Oxford

The Department of Computer Science and Wolfson College, at the
University of Oxford, are delighted to offer this opportunity for an
outstanding researcher of high international standing, who has a track
record of research that has significantly influenced the field of
computer science, and can demonstrate the vision, leadership and
enthusiasm to maintain and develop an internationally leading research
programme in this field, and to further the academic and strategic
development of the department.

The Strachey Professorship is the oldest chair in the Department of
Computer Science, and is named for Christopher Strachey, who founded
Oxford's Programming Research Group in 1965. There have previously been
two holders of this post, Sir Tony Hoare and Professor Samson Abramsky.

The University of Oxford's Department of Computer Science has broad
strengths across the spectrum of computer science from theoretical
computer science to systems and applications. It is one of the country's
leading computer science departments and is ranked first in a number of
international rankings.

The successful candidate will be an outstanding, internationally
recognised researcher in computer science, with a proven record of
research achievement. They will establish and lead a research team in
their area of expertise and will also play a leading role in further
developing computer science at Oxford.

The post is available with effect from 1 September 2022.  The closing
date for applications is 12.00 noon on Monday 28 February 2022.

Informal enquiries are welcome and may be made in the strictest
confidence to the Head of Department, Professor Leslie Ann Goldberg
(head-of-dept@cs.ox.ac.uk).

ethnic candidates, who are under-represented in academic posts in Oxford.
