<div>The Department of Computer Science at University of
Maryland, College Park, is looking for outstanding candidates
for tenured/tenure-track faculty at all levels in perceptual
computing, including virtual and augmented reality. Follow
this link to the official job posting <a

</div>
<div>Our department (<a href="http://www.cs.umd.edu"
moz-do-not-send="true">http://www.cs.umd.edu</a>), in
conjunction with the Institute for Advanced Computer Studies (<a
href="http://umiacs.umd.edu" moz-do-not-send="true">http://umiacs.umd.edu</a>),
has established a vibrant tradition of excellence in a number
of areas including computer vision, natural language
processing, high-performance computing, machine learning,
computational biology, robotics, and computational audition.
Now, catalyzed by a $38M gift from co-founders of Oculus VR,
Brendan Iribe and Michael Antonov, and others, with an
additional investment of well over a $100M from the state of
Maryland, we are looking to rapidly emerge as the world-wide
leader in virtual and augmented reality. University of
Maryland has recently hired several senior faculty in these
areas and will continue to grow. The current faculty has close
ties with industry and local organizations. More than 50
partner companies and organizations are participating in the
soon to be established MAVRIC center, which is focused on
immersive media research and development.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>In addition, we also encourage students to apply to our PhD
programs and for postdoc positions in these areas. The
Department of Computer Science at the University of Maryland
is consistently ranked among the top-15 nationally. It is one
of the largest departments in the country, with approximately
50 full-time tenured and tenure-track faculty covering a wide
variety of research areas and over 200 doctoral students drawn
from top undergraduate programs nationally and
internationally. In 2018 the department is slated to occupy
its new state-of-the-art facility, the Brendan Iribe Center
for Computer Science and Innovation, which is currently under
construction. The University of Maryland, College Park, was
founded in 1856 and is the flagship institution in the
University System of Maryland. Its 1,250 acre College Park
campus is minutes away from Washington, D.C., the nexus of the
nation’s legislative, executive, and judicial centers. This
unique proximity to business and technology leaders, federal
departments and agencies, and a myriad of research
organizations, embassies, think tanks, cultural centers, and
non-profit organizations offers unique opportunities for
engagement for faculty and students. </div>
