Mathematics
Tenure Track Position in Computer Science / Computational Biology
The Mathematics Department at Reed College invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in computer science with research focus in computational biology, to begin in the fall of 2013. We seek applicants committed to building the department's computer science program---teaching and expanding its core coursework---and to developing an undergraduate research program and coursework in computational biology.
Reed is a distinguished liberal arts college with 1400 students that offers a demanding academic program to bright and dedicated undergraduates. Faculty members teach five semester courses per year (usually two course preparations per semester) and supervise senior theses (required of all students).
Applications must be submitted through the MathJobs.org website and should include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, teaching statement, research statement, and three letters of recommendation. The cover letter should address how the applicant's teaching and scholarship are suited to the liberal arts college environment. All applicants are invited to address how their teaching, scholarship, mentoring, community service, or other activities could support Reed's commitment to diversity and inclusion (see http://www.reed.edu/diversity/). Applications will be accepted until the position is filled, but they should be received by January 10, 2013, to guarantee full consideration. The applicant should have a Ph.D. in computer science by the time of their appointment.
The Reed community believes that cultural diversity is essential to the excellence of our academic program. An equal opportunity employer, Reed College encourages applications from members of underrepresented groups.
