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 
https://ejobs.umd.edu/postings/54901

Our department (http://www.cs.umd.edu), in conjunction with the 
Institute for Advanced Computer Studies (http://umiacs.umd.edu), 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.
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.
