The Department of Computer Science has a vacant Assistant Professor position (tenure track).

We seek talented, motivated academics who have completed their doctoral degree three to seven years ago and have since accrued academic and other relevant qualifications. Successful applicants will be employed as assistant professors. The duration of the employment contract will be two to five years, depending on the appointee’s background and experience. If the appointee produces successful work which fulfils pre-determined criteria, employment may be continued with a second fixed-term contract, after which the appointee may receive a permanent position as professor.

The academic qualifications and teaching experience of applicants will be considered when making the selection. Additional merit will be granted for working outside Finland and other international experience as well as experience in acquiring research funding.

For this vacancy, all applicants representing computer science or its multidisciplinary applications will be considered. The appointee is expected to integrate his or her activities with the Department’s focus areas (algorithms and machine learning, networking and services, and software systems), possibly by expanding them in a new direction.

In addition to conducting research of the highest international level, the assistant professor is expected to actively participate in teaching at the Department and to form his or her own research group.

Application deadline is Oct 12, 2011 at 3:45 PM.
