[Hridesh Rajan]

*Iowa State University Department of Computer Science*

The Department of Computer Science at Iowa State University is seeking
outstanding candidates to fill a tenure-track position, to commence in August,
2008.  We are especially interested in applicants at the assistant professor
level in Programming Languages and/or Software Engineering. Successful
candidates will have demonstrated potential for outstanding research and
instruction in computer science.  A Ph.D. or equivalent in Computer Science or
a closely related field is required.

Our department currently consists of 27 full-time tenure-track faculty members.

We offer B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science and participate in
new B.S. degrees in Software Engineering and in Bioinformatics and
Computational Biology.  We also participate in interdepartmental graduate
programs in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, Human-Computer
Interactions, and Information Assurance.  We have about 330 B.S. students, 60
M.S. students, and 110 Ph.D. students.  Almost all graduate students are
supported by research or teaching assistantships. We have strong research and
educational programs in Algorithms and Complexity, Artificial Intelligence,
Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, Databases, Data Mining, Information
Assurance, Programming Languages, Multimedia Systems, Operating Systems and
Networks, Robotics, and Software Engineering. Our department has over $6.5
million in active research grants. With the above interdisciplinary activities
included, we contribute to active research and training grants totaling
approximately $20 million.
 
A dynamic faculty, a moderate teaching load (typically 3 courses per year with
one course reduction for active researchers and possible further reductions for
junior faculty), a strong graduate program, and a well-funded research program
provide an excellent academic environment.  In addition, cutting-edge research
and education are nurtured through interdisciplinary interactions facilitated
by the Laurence H. Baker Center for Bioinformatics and Biological Statistics,
the Center for Computational Intelligence, Learning and Discovery, the Center
for Integrative Animal Genomics, the Cyber Innovation Institute, the
Information Assurance Center, the Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory, and
the Virtual Reality Application Center.
