All-Level Faculty Positions in Interdisciplinary Research in Data Science
The University of Rochester has made data science as a centerpiece of its 5-year strategic plan, committing new faculty lines, a new building, and the establishment of the Goergen Institute for Data Science. We are seeking applicants for tenure track positions in interdisciplinary research in data science.
The interdisciplinary search focuses on candidates who will engage in collaborative research that connects advances in computational models and methods with the humanities, sciences, or medicine.
Successful candidates will receive a primary appointment in one of the areas (Art & Art History, Biomedical Engineering, Brain & Cognitive Sciences, Computer & Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Digital Media Studies, English, History, Linguistics, Political Science, and the School of Medicine & Dentistry) supporting the search.
Focus areas for this year’s interdisciplinary searches are:
● Neurally-inspired Computing: Research in artificial neural networks, including the fundamental theory of deep learning, practical applications to tasks such as perception, or as a tool for modeling and understanding biological neural networks.
● Computer Vision and Image Analysis: Research in the theory and applications of computational methods of image or video understanding, with a particular interest in applications to biomedicine or the humanities.
● Computational Linguistics: Research in the theory or applications of natural language processing, with a particular interest in applications to linguistics, the social sciences, or the humanities.
