applications for two full-time, permanent faculty positions at any
rank in the fields of Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, Data
Science and Machine Learning, Software Engineering, and Theoretical
Computer Science. For one of the positions, we will give preferential
treatment to excellent applicants in Software Engineering, broadly
construed. However, the primary evaluation criterion is scientific
quality. Outstanding candidates in other areas of Computer Science are
encouraged to apply as well. See https://jobs.50skills.com/ru/en/16728
for the link to the application form.
We are looking for energetic, highly qualified academics with a proven
international research record and excellent potential in their field
of study. We particularly welcome applications from researchers who
have a strong network of research collaborators, can strengthen
internal collaborations within the department, have the proclivity to
improve their academic environment and its culture, and have the drive
and potential to flourish in our environment. The Department of
Computer Science at Reykjavik University is characterised by a flat
hierarchical structure and every faculty member is expected to act
like a principal investigator regardless of their level of employment.
Apart from developing their research career, the successful applicants
will play a full part in the teaching and administrative activities of
the department, teaching courses and supervising students at both
graduate and undergraduate level. Applicants with a demonstrated
history of excellence in teaching are preferred.
Salary and rank are commensurate with experience. Successful
applicants receive a relocation budget, some seed research funding in
the first two years of their employment and support for one PhD
student. Among other benefits, Reykjavik University offers its
research staff the option to take research semesters (sabbaticals)
every three years of satisfactory teaching and research activity and
provides some additional financial support during those semesters.
The positions are open until filled, with intended starting date in
August 2023. Later starting dates can be negotiated, but preference
will be given to candidates who can take up their position in August
2023. The deadline for applications is January 27, 2023. The review of
the applications will begin in late January 2023 and will continue
until the positions are filled.
A PhD in Computer Science or a related field is required. Applications
should be submitted through the university's online application
submission system and should include the following documents:
· a cover letter specifying whether the candidate is applying for
appointment as an assistant, associate, or full professor,
· a CV with a full list of publications,
· links to three to five major publications,
· a research statement,
· a teaching statement,
· supporting material regarding excellence in teaching, if available, and
· any other relevant information the applicant wishes to supply.
Please arrange to have three letters of recommendation sent directly
to mannaudur@ru.is (subject "Faculty Positions in CS") with a copy to
Professor Luca Aceto (luca@ru.is), Chair of the Department of Computer
Science. Informal communication and discussions on any aspect related
to the positions are encouraged, and interested candidates are welcome
to contact the chair of the search committee, Associate Professor
María Óskarsdóttir (mariaoskars@ru.is), for further information.
