Tenure-Track, Research, and Teaching Faculty

Positions in Computer Science & Engineering

The University of Washington was awarded an Alfred P. Sloan Award for Faculty Career Flexibility in 2006. In addition, the University of Washington is a recipient of a National Science Foundation ADVANCE Institutional Transformation Award to increase the participation of women in academic science and engineering careers. The University of Washington is an affirmative action, equal opportunity employer. We are building a culturally diverse faculty and encourage applications from women, minorities, individuals with disabilities and covered veterans.

Thank you for your interest in faculty positions in the University of Washington Department of Computer Science & Engineering! The faculty recruiting website is now closed for new applications this year. We expect to open the 2008-9 faculty recruiting season on or about 1 November 2008.

For this season, we had an extraordinary number of highly qualified applicants, and have invited a set of candidates to interview. This involved some difficult decisions— we could easily have invited quite a few more. At this point it is unlikely that we will invite any candidates besides those already invited.

Questions about the application process may be directed to frc at cs.washington.edu

The University of Washington's Department of Computer Science & Engineering has one or more open positions in a wide variety of technical areas in both Computer Science and Computer Engineering, and at all professional levels. A moderate teaching and service load allows time for quality research and close involvement with students. Our recent move into the Paul G. Allen Center for Computer Science & Engineering expands opportunities for new projects and initiatives. The Seattle area is particularly attractive given the presence of significant industrial research laboratories as well as a vibrant technology-driven entrepreneurial community that further enhance the intellectual atmosphere. Information about the department can be found on the web at http://www.cs.washington.edu/.

We welcome applicants in all research areas in Computer Science and Computer Engineering including both core and inter-disciplinary areas. We expect candidates to have a strong commitment both to research and to teaching. The department is primarily seeking individuals at the tenure-track Assistant Professor rank; however, under unusual circumstances and commensurate with the qualifications of the individual, appointments may be made at the rank of Associate Professor or Professor. We also seek non-tenured research faculty at Assistant, Associate and Professor levels, and full-time annual Lecturers and Sr. Lecturers. Applicants for both tenure-track and research positions must have earned a PhD. by the date of appointment; those applying for lecturer positions must have earned at least a Master's degree.

Applications received by February 29, 2008 will be given priority consideration.

Please apply online on or after November 1, 2007 at http://norfolk.cs.washington.edu/apply with a letter of application, a complete curriculum vitae, statement of research and teaching interests, and the names of four references.

Joint CSE/EE Positions

Thank you for your interest in faculty positions in the University of Washington Experimental Computer Engineering Lab (ExCEL)! The faculty recruiting website is now closed for new applications this year. We expect to open the 2008-9 faculty recruiting season on or about 1 November 2008.

Questions about the application process may be directed to frc at excel.washington.edu

The University of Washington's Department of Computer Science & Engineering and Department of Electrical Engineering have jointly formed a new UW Experimental Computer Engineering Lab (ExCEL). In support of this effort, the College of Engineering has committed to hiring several new faculty over the forthcoming years. All positions will be dual appointments in both departments (with precise percentages as appropriate for the candidate). This year, we have two open positions, and encourage exceptional candidates in computer engineering, at tenure-track Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, or Professor, or Research Assistant Professor, Research Associate Professor, or Research Professor to apply. A moderate teaching and service load allows time for quality research and close involvement with students. The CSE and EE departments are co-located on campus, enabling cross department collaborations and initiatives. The Seattle area is particularly attractive given the presence of significant industrial research laboratories, a vibrant technology-driven entrepreneurial community, and spectacular natural beauty. Information about ExCEL can be found at http://www.excel.washington.edu/.

We welcome applications in all computer engineering areas including but not exclusively: atomics scale devices & nanotechnology, implantable and biologically-interfaced devices, synthetic molecular engineering, VLSI, embedded systems, sensor systems, parallel computing, network systems, and technology for the developing world. We expect candidates to have a strong commitment both to research and teaching. ExCEL is seeking individuals at all career levels, with appointments commensurate with the candidateās qualifications and experience. Applicants for both tenure-track and research positions must have earned a PhD by the date of appointment.

Applications received by January 31, 2008 will be given priority consideration.

Please apply online on or after November 1, 2007 at http://www.excel.washington.edu/apply with a letter of application, a complete curriculum vitae, statement of research and teaching interests, and the names of four references.

Director, Animation Research Labs

University of Washington Computer Science & Engineering is seeking a Director for a new interdisciplinary center of research and education, called the Animation Research Labs (ARL).

The mission of the Animation Research Labs is to advance the state of the art in animation through research, teaching, and computer-animated production. The ARL is a place where computer scientists, animators, artists, musicians, architects, storywriters, and user-interface designers will work together to create new algorithms, systems, and tools for computer animation -- and use these advances to create innovative and experimental animated productions, including interactive forms of animation such as web-based animation and games. The ARL is an interdisciplinary undertaking of the Department of Computer Science & Engineering, together with the Schools of Art, Music, and Architecture.

We are seeking outstanding candidates, worthy of a tenured associate professor or professor position, to direct the Animation Research Labs. The Director is expected to be the guiding force and most visible representative of the ARL; to pursue a highly visible and internationally recognized program of animation-related teaching and research; and to create rich, deep ties with industry. The Director will work with an already very strong group of existing faculty in computer graphics and computer vision, with the potential of hiring even more faculty in these areas.

More information about the Animation Research Labs can be found on the web at http://www.cs.washington.edu/ARL.

Candidates for the position should have a Ph.D. or its equivalent. Letters of interest should include a full c.v., the names of four references, and information about administrative experience. Materials should be sent to:
