Description
The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science (IMADA) at the University of Southern Denmark, Odense invites applications for a position as associate professor of computer science. The appointment is expected to take effect on 1 August, 2012.
The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science was founded in 1972 at the University of Southern Denmark and is characterised by enthusiastic faculty members at a dynamic and diverse institute. The Department is commonly known by its Danish acronym IMADA.
IMADA’s research covers a broad area, is interdisciplinary and includes both pure and applied research. The department’s geometry group is part of a pioneering collaboration with particle physicists. A new area of focus at IMADA is numerical mathematical modeling, where the goal is to use mathematical modeling and simulation to provide scientific understanding. Based on IMADA’s research on efficient algorithms, a platform has been established for optimization in industry involving collaboration with public and private companies. IMADA’s research within algorithms contributes to the development of quality measures for online algorithms as well as to the unveiling of evolutionary relationships between groups of organisms. The department also houses the Center for Science and Mathematics Education, which together with regional partners develops courses and degree programmes for school teachers.
Eligibility
The successful applicant is expected to have a well-documented record of research in one of the areas of network systems, distributed systems, database systems, design and implementation of programming languages, or bio- or chem-informatics, though other areas may also be considered. In addition to research, the applicant is expected to contribute to teaching and supervision in computer science at all levels (undergraduate through PhD) and to be able to teach in a broad range of core computer science areas at the undergraduate level.
