Four lectureships & one senior lectureship in computer science, Swansea (Wales)
Swansea University in the UK has opportunities for people active in logic
and theoretical computer science.
Swansea University is intensifying its investments in Computer Science. It
wishes to expand the scale, relevance and intellectual diversity of the
subject. To this end the University has available
9 permanent academic posts at the rank of lecturer, senior lecturer and
associate professor.
Some of these posts are directed at particular areas (see below) but for
five positions the research focus can be in any area of Computer Science.
The posts can enhance existing areas, or bring in new areas that resonate
with the Department.
Currently the Department?s expertise is in Theoretical Computer Science,
as well as Graphics and Visualization and Human-Computer Interaction. In
recent years, we have developed research and scholarship in Data Science,
Security, High Performance Computing, and History of Computing.
The Department would welcome applications from early career academics with
a developing portfolio of research interests that that they believe have
the potential to play a significant role in the future development of the
discipline. Exceptional applicants with a more developed academic
portfolio may be appointed to a higher grade.
More information on these positions can be found following the links to
the University's web site:

Some Extra Background ....
UK Computer Science is very strong in global terms and is a magnet for
outstanding staff and students. The Computer Science Department at Swansea
University is highly ranked for both teaching and research: The Times Good
University Guide 2017 placed it 12th in the UK and 1st in Wales; the
National Student Survey 2016 ranked it as 7th in the UK with 95% overall
satisfaction, and 1st in Wales; and in the Research Excellence Framework
(REF) 2014 it was ranked 18th in the UK and 1st in Wales.
Based on these successes, Computer Science at Swansea University has
embarked on a £31M programme of work ? the Computational Foundry ? to make
Swansea a beacon for Computer Science, that attracts and retains excellent
researchers, and builds up a large base of scientific, technological and
scholarly talent. This call for 9 permanent academic positions is part of
this expansion programme. The Department will be moving into the
Computational Foundry building on Bay Campus in August 2018. This building
comprises nearly 7,500 m2 of purpose built Computer Science facilities and
includes extensive up to date research and teaching laboratories and
spaces. The Department has longstanding major projects in engaging with
business, education and civic society. Currently, our Technocamps Unit is
a driving force for educational reform in computing in Wales. The
Department is the driving force behind the University's History of
Computing Collection. We provide industrial education. The Department has
recently been selected as the home for one of the UK?s Digital Economy
Centres.
