The School of Applied Mathematics at Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV EMAp) in Rio
de Janeiro, Brazil, invites applications for one open-rank faculty position in
Data Science to strengthen and complement our existing research activity in
this area.
We are looking for established researchers (associate/full professor) or
outstanding young researchers (assistant professor) who have demonstrated
research and teaching expertise in Data Science. We will prioritize applicants
whose research focuses on natural language processing, computer vision, and
scalable computing.
The successful candidate is expected to develop an externally funded research
programme, publish in high impact journals, supervise research (postgraduate)
students, teach at both undergraduate and graduate levels, and provide service
to the department and institution. Peer-reviewed external funding is expected
to be obtained and sustained. Industrial partnerships are also strongly
encouraged.
*Qualifications*
The successful candidate will hold a Ph.D. in Computer Science or a closely
related discipline, at the time of the appointment. At the assistant professor
level, the applicant is expected to have a compatible track of publications and
strong potential for publishing in top ranked journals. At higher levels
(associate or full professor) the applicant is expected to have an established
line of research with a strong publication record, proven ability to attract
external funding, and an established research network.
The successful candidate will also possess excellent communication and
presentation skills, being capable of teaching both undergraduate and
postgraduate students across our portfolio of Data Science courses. Fluence in
Portuguese is desirable, but not required. However, by the end of the second
year the applicant may be required to teach in Portuguese.
*Start-up package*
A generous package is available to provide the necessary resources for starting
a successful independent research programme. These include computational
infrastructure, lab space as well as postdoctoral positions and
graduate-student support. There is also the possibility to apply internally for
core-funded projects. During the first year, it will be possible to arrange for
a reduced teaching load.
*Salary and Benefits*
We offer an internationally competitive salary commensurate with level of
appointment. Current salaries at FGV EMAp are higher than any similar academic
institution in Brazil. The benefits include health and dental plans, support
for young children’s education and private pension fund.
*Application*
Applicants should send their applications to: emap_posit...@fgv.br including:
1. a cover letter describing their experience, interests, and
suitability for the position;
2. a curriculum vitae;
3. teaching statement;
4. research statement;
5. electronic version of their best 3 publications (assistant
professor) or best 5 publications (associate or full professor) in the past 5
years
Applicants must also arrange for three reference letters to be sent by the
referees to emap_posit...@fgv.br before the deadline.
To be considered at the associate or full professor level, the candidate should
also include evidence of experience in directing graduate students.
Deadline for applications is June 10th, 2022. Selected applicants will be
contacted for an interview by June 15th, 2022. Interviews will be scheduled
