[CogSci] Postdoctoral Fellowships in Computer Science + X

[Matt Goldrick]

POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS IN COMPUTER SCIENCE + X
Northwestern University is pursuing an ambitious commitment to grow and
transform Computer Science (CS). We will add twenty new tenure-track
faculty in the next five years—ten in core Computer Science, and ten
collaboratively with other disciplines (CS + X)—as well as a number of
non-tenure track teaching faculty.

A substantial part of this mission is to grow the boundaries of Computer
Science, including by providing students and faculty across the University
with education in areas of computation that will help them in their work.
Working with Northwestern’s Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences, the
McCormick School of Engineering will be hiring Postdoctoral Fellows who
will work across disciplines to develop advanced courses for non-CS
students who are working in fields where computation is becoming more and
more important.

To support this growth, we invite applications for Postdoctoral Fellowships
in CS+X. Combining research and curriculum development with teaching
duties, our Postdoc Fellows will work with faculty in CS and other
departments to develop interdisciplinary research initiatives and to
understand the needs of students outside CS, and to develop classes aimed
at meeting those needs. These Teaching Fellows will also be part of the
process identifying areas of intersection and impact in drawing
computational thinking into new research areas.

These positions come with attractive benefits and will have considerable
autonomy, while still enabling close collaboration with Northwestern
faculty members.  We are initially focused on adding excellent fellows to
our Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Data Science teams, but
strong candidates in all disciplines of Computer Science are encouraged to
apply.

The teaching load is one course per quarter over the three quarter academic
year (including an advanced-level course in the candidate’s research area).
These are two-year positions, with the possibility of renewal for an
additional year.

Northwestern is a world leading research and teaching university with an
unrivaled combination of excellent schools that provide extraordinary
opportunities for collaboration across a wide range of disciplines. Located
just outside of Chicago – a diverse and culturally vibrant world-class city
– Northwestern faculty have ample opportunities to connect with the city’s
growing technology sector.

We encourage candidates to send applications as soon as possible;
appointments begin Fall 2019 quarter. Applications received by February 28,
2019 will be given full consideration; however, the positions will remain
open until filled. Applicants should submit (1) a cover letter, (2) a
curriculum vitae, (3) three to five letters of reference, (4) statement of
research goals, (5) statement of teaching philosophy, and (6) two
representative publications. For general questions about the search or
application assistance post submission, contact
facsearch at eecs.northwestern.edu

Northwestern University is an Equal Opportunity, Affirmative Action
Employer of all protected classes, including veterans and individuals with
disabilities. Women, underrepresented racial and ethnic minorities,
individuals with disabilities, and veterans are encouraged to apply. Hiring
is contingent upon eligibility to work in the United States.
