<div style="font-size:12.8px">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 href="https://ejobs.umd.edu/postings/54901"
target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">https://ejobs.umd.edu/<wbr>postings/54901</a> and
feel free to distribute this announcement widely.</div>
<div style="font-size:12.8px"> </div>
<div style="font-size:12.8px">Our department (<a
href="http://www.cs.umd.edu/" target="_blank"
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/" target="_blank"
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 style="font-size:12.8px"> </div>
<div style="font-size:12.8px">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>
