The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Wesleyan University is
seeking a research computer scientist to fill a one-semester visiting position
for either the fall term 2001 or the spring term 2002.
We are especially interested in applications from candidates with an interest
in bioinformatics, who can contribute to an inter-disciplinary initiative in
this field involving faculty from biology, chemistry, computer science, and
physics. In the 2001-2002 academic year there will be several courses offered
on bioinformatics and a number of visiting lectures.
The visitor would teach one undergraduate computer science course and organize
a graduate research seminar.
The Department (
http://www.math.wesleyan.edu/)
has four full-time computer
scientists with a variety of research interests in theoretical computer science
including algorithms, bioinformatics, logic programming, rewriting, and
symbolic computation. There is also excellent interaction with the
mathematicians who work in algebra, combinatorics, and logic.
Wesleyan is a highly selective, small university
that offers a unique combination of liberal-arts college spirit in the
classroom and a university research environment, with an unusually strong
commitment to research for a school of its size. The student body is made up of
approximately 2,900 full-time undergraduates and graduate students in 41
departments and programs.
The University places a high priority on diversity in the faculty and
administrative staff, in the student body, and in the curriculum. We especially
encourage women and minorities to apply for the position.
