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 
<https://ejobs.umd.edu/postings/54901> and feel free to distribute this 
announcement widely.
Our department (http://www.cs.umd.edu <http://www.cs.umd.edu/>), in 
conjunction with the Institute for Advanced Computer Studies 
(http://umiacs.umd.edu <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.
