The Computer Science Department at Portland State University (PSU) invites applications for a junior tenure-track faculty position to begin Fall 2012. Specific areas of computer science under consideration include: data-intensive systems, trustworthy computing, machine learning, and computer architecture. Applications to cloud computing and sustainability are of particular interest. Exceptional applicants in other areas or at other ranks will also be considered.

The department offers an ABET-accredited B.S., both a thesis and a non-thesis M.S., and a Ph.D. in Computer Science. Our teaching loads give faculty time to maintain funded research programs and to be active in professional organizations. The department currently serves approximately 400 undergraduates and 120 graduate students. Further information about the department is available at http://cs.pdx.edu.
PSU is the largest university in Oregon and is known nationally for its community engagement and sustainability initiatives. Its campus in downtown Portland is well served by public transit (both bus and rail), and near a variety of restaurants, cultural venues and outdoor activities. PSU's urban setting provides a living laboratory for research and easy access to collaborations in industry, academia and government. (Current faculty collaborations include Intel, Oregon Health & Science University, and Oregon Department of Transportation.) The Portland metro area has long been a leader in open-source development, and the City recently announced the PDX11 initiative aimed at making Portland "the most awesome place in the world" to start and run a software business.
Applicants are expected to hold or be near completion of a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science or a closely related field. All applicants are expected to show great potential for future external research support and a demonstrated record of research excellence.
The faculty member will maintain scholarly activity in funded research and publications; teach undergraduate and graduate classes; provide professionally related public service; advise students, and support University activities through committee service.
