Professorship of Informatics

http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/news/345-full.html

The University of Oxford intends to appoint a Professor of Informatics in 
the Department of Computer Science as soon as possible. This is a 
newly-established post made possible by the recent growth and success of 
Computer Science at Oxford. Algorithms are key to many applications of 
computer science, including internet search, web use, routing, resource 
allocation, database querying, machine learning, and parallel computing. 
With the rapidly growing use of computing in all academic subjects, there 
is an increasing need for algorithms relevant to problems across Science, 
Social Science, and the Humanities, as well as in areas of IT such as 
Information Systems, Networking and Parallel Computing. The successful 
candidate will engage with and develop further these applications. He/she 
will have an outstanding research record and will be of internationally 
recognised stature in the broad area of algorithms. He/she will be expect 
ed to pursue a research programme at the forefront of the subject, 
providing research leadership to colleagues working in this field. The 
department encourages applications from computer scientists whose primary 
research focus is in algorithms per se, and equally from those developing 
algorith ms for some application area or areas such as those listed above.
