Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Sciences
The Department of Computer Science of the University of Texas at Dallas invites applications from outstanding applicants for tenure track faculty positions in all areas, at the level of associate or full professor, starting Spring, Summer or Fall 2008. Candidates must have a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering or equivalent. The successful applicants must have a distinguished research and publication record as well as demonstrated leadership ability in developing and expanding funded research programs. Positions for Distinguished Chaired Professors are available.
The Department offers Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science, Software Engineering; M.S. degrees in Computer Science with emphases (tracks) on Networks and Telecommunications, Traditional Computer Science, Intelligent Systems, and a Major in Software Engineering; Bachelor’s degrees in Computer Science and Software Engineering (the first in the State of Texas). In addition, the department is part of Ph.D. and master’s programs in two interdisciplinary fields, Computer Engineering and Telecommunications Engineering, whose faculty consists of members from Computer Science and Electrical Engineering.
Currently the Department has a total of 45 tenure-track faculty and 9 senior lecturers. In addition to individual faculty workstations, the department has many computer/research laboratories, equipped with around 300 high performance workstations and high-end PCs. The Academic Computer Center supports both UNIX based workstations and PCs as well as high-speed access to campus computing facilities.
The University is located in the most attractive suburbs of the Dallas metropolitan area. There are over 900 high-tech companies within 5 miles of the campus, including Texas Instruments, Nortel Networks, Alcatel, Ericsson, Hewlett-Packard, Nokia, Fujitsu, MCI, EDS, and Perot Systems. Almost all the country's leading telecommunication's companies have major research and development facilities in our neighborhood. Opportunities for joint university-industry research projects are excellent. The Jonsson School has experienced very rapid growth in recent years and will become a top-ranked engineering school within the next five years. Based in large part on a 5-year, $300 million initiative involving the State of Texas, the University of Texas System, and Texas Instruments, the School is strengthening and expanding its programs by recruiting outstanding faculty and Ph.D. students, increasing funded research, and establishing new programs (see www.ecs.utdallas.edu/welcome.html ).
