Faculty Position in Computer Science and Engineering with a Joint Appointment in the School of the Environment
Applications are invited for a tenure-track position with a research emphasis in signal processing and data mining as applied to biological and ecological data. This is a tenure-track appointment in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering with a joint appointment in the School of the Environment. Candidates should have a doctorate in computer science, computer engineering, or a related discipline by fall 2009. Candidates for assistant professor positions are expected to have strong research potential as well as an interest in teaching at both the undergraduate and graduate level. For those embarking on their professional careers, department support will include low teaching loads, competitive salary and generous start-up funds. Candidates for associate or full professor positions must possess an exceptional record of high-quality funded research, teaching, and scholarship. This position is part of a cluster of interdisciplinary faculty hires in the area of forecasting ecological responses to climate change in coastal regions. Candidates will be expected to form strong research collaborations with other hires in the cluster in geography, biology, and environmental science while establishing a research record suitable for a position in Computer Science and Engineering.
The Department of Computer Science and Engineering is in the College of Engineering and Computing and offers bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees. We have had twelve hires since 2000 among the current faculty of 21, and our recent hires include seven CAREER award recipients.

Assistant Professor - Biological Sciences
As part of the Faculty Excellence Initiative at the University of South Carolina, the Department of Biological Sciences invites applications for a Microbial Ecologist specializing in waterborne pathogens for a tenure track assistant professor position to begin August 2009. This position is one of several in a university-funded faculty cluster, which was established to build strategic research capabilities in Environmental Microbiology with a focus in the emerging research area of Environmental Stresses and Microbial Stress Responses. Research interests should include, but are not limited to, processes contributing to resilience or adaptive changes of microorganisms, especially pathogenic microbes, in response to stress in natural aquatic systems. Topics of particular interest are the roles of natural selection and horizontal gene transfer in the adaptation to stressed environments and/or the role of phenotypic plasticity in survival and functionality under stressful conditions. The position is a 9-month academic year tenure-track appointment. For more information about the Department of Biological Sciences, visit www.biol.sc.edu.
Applicants should include with their application a vita, statement of research and teaching interests and goals, and the names, addresses, and phone numbers of at least three references. This information should be sent to: James L. Pinckney, Chair, FEI Environmental Microbiology Search, Department of Biological Sciences, University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC 29208. To ensure full consideration, applications must be submitted by October 15, 2008.
