<br>
This is an outstanding opportunity for a Lecturer in Theoretical
Computer<br>
Science at the University of Sheffield, a world top 100
University. You<br>
will join our internationally respected Department of Computer
Science.<br>
<br>
As part of an ambitious plan for growth, the Department of
Computer Science<br>
is seeking to appoint a Lecturer in the broad field of Theoretical
Computer<br>
Science, including the design and analysis of algorithms, the
logical and<br>
semantic foundations of programming and hardware/software
verification.<br>
Researchers in the area of computational complexity, where the
interests of<br>
the Algorithms and Verification groups in the Department overlap,
are<br>
particularly encouraged to apply. Other specific areas where we
seek<br>
expertise include:<br>
<br>
- Theoretical foundations of bio-inspired optimisation<br>
- Performance analysis of randomised search heuristics<br>
- Theoretical foundations of AI algorithms<br>
- Formal methods for software and hardware systems<br>
- Verification in security and of hybrid or probabilistic systems<br>
<br>
You will hold a PhD in a relevant area of computer science, or
have<br>
equivalent experience. As a Lecturer, you will conduct research to
the<br>
highest standards. This will include securing research funding,
publishing<br>
in high impact conferences and journals, supervision of research
students<br>
and research project management. In addition, you will play a key
role in<br>
maintaining our reputation for high-quality teaching by designing,<br>
delivering and assessing undergraduate and postgraduate level
courses in<br>
computer science.<br>
<br>
We are committed to exploring flexible working opportunities which
benefit<br>
the individual and University.<br>
<br>
We’re one of the best not-for-profit organisations to work for in
the UK.<br>
The University’s Total Reward Package includes a competitive
salary, a<br>
generous Pension Scheme and annual leave entitlement, as well as
access to<br>
a range of learning and development courses to support your
personal and<br>
professional development.<br>
<br>
We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles
whose<br>
talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect.
We<br>
believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through<br>
research, teaching and student experience. The Department of
Computer<br>
Science holds a Silver Athena SWAN award, in recognition of our
commitment<br>
to equality and diversity.<br>
