The Department of Computer Science at Reykjavik University invites<br>
applications for two full-time, permanent faculty positions at any<br>
rank in the fields of Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, Data<br>
Science and Machine Learning, Software Engineering, and
Theoretical<br>
Computer Science. For one of the positions, we will give
preferential<br>
treatment to excellent applicants in Software Engineering, broadly<br>
construed. However, the primary evaluation criterion is scientific<br>
quality. Outstanding candidates in other areas of Computer Science
are<br>
encouraged to apply as well. See
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://jobs.50skills.com/ru/en/16728">https://jobs.50skills.com/ru/en/16728</a></div>
<div class="moz-forward-container">for the link to the application
form.<br>
<br>
We are looking for energetic, highly qualified academics with a
proven<br>
international research record and excellent potential in their
field<br>
of study. We particularly welcome applications from researchers
who<br>
have a strong network of research collaborators, can strengthen<br>
internal collaborations within the department, have the proclivity
to<br>
improve their academic environment and its culture, and have the
drive<br>
and potential to flourish in our environment. The Department of<br>
Computer Science at Reykjavik University is characterised by a
flat<br>
hierarchical structure and every faculty member is expected to act<br>
like a principal investigator regardless of their level of
employment.<br>
<br>
Apart from developing their research career, the successful
applicants<br>
will play a full part in the teaching and administrative
activities of<br>
the department, teaching courses and supervising students at both<br>
graduate and undergraduate level. Applicants with a demonstrated<br>
history of excellence in teaching are preferred.<br>
<br>
Salary and rank are commensurate with experience. Successful<br>
applicants receive a relocation budget, some seed research funding
in<br>
the first two years of their employment and support for one PhD<br>
student. Among other benefits, Reykjavik University offers its<br>
research staff the option to take research semesters (sabbaticals)<br>
every three years of satisfactory teaching and research activity
and<br>
provides some additional financial support during those semesters.<br>
<br>
The positions are open until filled, with intended starting date
in<br>
August 2023. Later starting dates can be negotiated, but
preference<br>
will be given to candidates who can take up their position in
August<br>
2023. The deadline for applications is January 27, 2023. The
review of<br>
the applications will begin in late January 2023 and will continue<br>
until the positions are filled.<br>
<br>
A PhD in Computer Science or a related field is required.
Applications<br>
should be submitted through the university’s online application<br>
submission system and should include the following documents:<br>
<br>
· a cover letter specifying whether the candidate is applying for<br>
appointment as an assistant, associate, or full professor,<br>
· a CV with a full list of publications,<br>
· links to three to five major publications,<br>
· a research statement,<br>
· a teaching statement,<br>
· supporting material regarding excellence in teaching, if
available, and<br>
· any other relevant information the applicant wishes to supply.<br>
<br>
Please arrange to have three letters of recommendation sent
directly<br>
to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:mannaudur@ru.is">mannaudur@ru.is</a> (subject “Faculty Positions in CS”) with a copy
to<br>

Computer<br>
Science. Informal communication and discussions on any aspect
related<br>
to the positions are encouraged, and interested candidates are
