THE DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING AND COMPUTER SCIENCE (EECS) AT VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY is seeking candidates for two tenured/tenure-track (T/TK) faculty positions in computer science. Candidates of all ranks will be considered in broadly defined areas of data science, machine learning, data mining, visualization, computer vision, and/or artificial intelligence. Successful candidates are expected to teach at the undergraduate and graduate levels and to develop and grow vigorous programs of externally funded research. The Vanderbilt CS program provides a unique, collaborative, and interdisciplinary research environment. These positions are part of a broader multi-year faculty hiring initiative in the data sciences. Candidates will be core members of Vanderbilt's recently established Data Science Institute, and will be expected to contribute to the research and teaching mission of the institute, and ideally to foster research collaborations with existing faculty across academic departments working on data science related topics.
