Dear ML colleagues, Some of you may be interested in the Johns Hopkins CS faculty job ad, which prominently mentions machine learning: http://www.cs.jhu.edu/Search2011/
I'd like to encourage applications from strong candidates working in machine learning or related data-intensive research areas. You would benefit from great colleagues in the department and more broadly from our world-class interdepartmental centers in robotic surgery, vision, robotics, speech and language processing, public health, bio-stats, biomedical engineering, and computational medicine (see the full list in the ad below.) These are all departments and interdisciplinary centers that include a machine learning component, and which are extremely highly ranked nationally and internationally in their areas of expertise. Applicants are encouraged to highlight any likely interactions with the above research areas, such as connections to biomedical or health-related applications or to computer systems. I've included the formal ad below. Please circulate this email to anyone who might be interested. In addition to the tenure-track position(s) in Computer Science, two tenure-track positions are open in our sister department, Applied Math and Statistics, in the general areas of discrete optimization and continuous optimization. ML candidates who are also optimization experts should consider applying to both AM&S and CS openings. The AMS ad is at http://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/jobs/2388. Best, Mark *Department of Computer Science General Faculty Search, 2010* The Department of Computer Science at The Johns Hopkins University is seeking applications for tenure-track faculty positions. The search is open to all areas of Computer Science, with a particular emphasis on candidates with research interests in machine learning, theoretical computer science, computational biology, computational aspects of biomedical Informatics, and other data-intensive or health-related applications. These areas have been selected by the department as those that take particular advantage of the strengths of Johns Hopkins broadly, as well as advancing the research mission and reputation of the department. As a result, new faculty in these areas would benefit from several other world-class departments and interdisciplinary centers including: - The Center for Speech and Language Processing (CLSP) <http://www.clsp.jhu.edu/>and the associated Human Language Technology Center of Excellence<http://web.jhu.edu/hltcoe> - The Institute for Data Intensive Engineering and Science (IDIES)<http://idies.jhu.edu/> - The Center for Computer-Integrated Surgical Systems and Technology (CISST) <http://cisst.org/> - The Laboratory for Computational Sensing and Robotics (LCSR)<http://www.lcsr.jhu.edu/> - The Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) <http://www.bme.jhu.edu/>consistently ranked #1 in the country - The Bloomberg School of Public Health <http://www.jhsph.edu/> consistently ranked #1 in the country, with an outstanding Department of Biostatistics<http://www.biostat.jhsph.edu/> - The Institute for Computational Medicine (ICM)<http://www.icm.jhu.edu/> - The Center for Imaging Science (CIS) <http://www.cis.jhu.edu/> Candidates in the area of computational biology may be interested in collaborating with the following organizations: - McKusick-Nathans Institute for Genetic Medicine<http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/geneticmedicine/> - High Throughput Biology (HIT) Center<http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/institute_basic_biomedical_sciences/research/research_centers/high_throughput_biology_hit/> - The Center for Excellence in Genomics Science<http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/institute_basic_biomedical_sciences/research/nih_initiatives/genomic_science_center/> - The Brain Sciences Institute <http://www.brainscienceinstitute.org/> These are all departments and interdisciplinary centers that include a machine learning, data analysis, visualization, and/or biomedical component, and which are extremely highly ranked nationally and internationally in their areas of expertise. All applicants must have a Ph.D. in Computer Science or a related field and are expected to show evidence of an ability to establish a strong, independent, multidisciplinary, internationally recognized research program. Commitment to quality teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels will be required of all candidates. Preference will be given to applications at the assistant professor level, but other levels of appointment will be considered based on area and qualifications. The Department is committed to building a diverse educational environment; women and minorities are especially encouraged to apply. Applicants should apply using the online application which can be accessed fromhttp://www.cs.jhu.edu/apply. Applications should be received by Dec 1, 2010 for full consideration. Questions should be directed to fsea...@cs.jhu.edu. The Johns Hopkins University is an EEO/AA employer.
