Lecturer positions in Theoretical Computer Science at Queen Mary, University of London

The School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) is looking to recruit up to three Lecturers within the research area of Theoretical Computer Science as part of the on-going strategic investment by Queen Mary, University of London.

The Theoretical Computer Science group has a reputation for work that combines leading research on fundamental mathematical and logical techniques for reasoning about computational systems with the ability to apply those techniques to practical problems, particularly in the software domain. We seek to appoint staff whose research fits with the current remit of the group and who will complement our existing expertise in areas such as verification, programming languages, program analysis, security and wide-area systems or extend it by introducing new mathematical expertise. 

Candidates should have a doctoral degree or equivalent and have a publication record that supports international recognition for their research. Experience of undergraduate and postgraduate teaching is highly desirable; applicants must be able to demonstrate the ability to teach at any level within the area of expertise and across a range of subjects at a more introductory level, showing enthusiasm and commitment to the process of teaching. Some overseas teaching may be required as part of the School's wide-ranging programmes of study. 

The School of EECS is an exciting and dynamic environment with a research grant portfolio of £39m, of which £29m is from EPSRC including three Platform grants, two Programme grants and a Doctoral Training Centre. In the RAE2008, 75% of the School's Computer Science submitted staff were rated 3* or 4*, with 50% for the corresponding Electronic Engineering submitted staff. The School has in excess of 60 research active academic staff, over 50 post-doctoral researchers and more than 200 PhD students, with 8 School members holding prestigious research fellowships.

The posts are full time and permanent and are available from October 2012. Starting salary will be in the range £37,819 - £47,088 per annum. Benefits include 30 days annual leave, defined benefits pension scheme and an interest-free season ticket loan.

Informal enquiries should be addressed to Professor Mark Sandler at head@eecs.qmul.ac.uk. Details about the School can be found at www.eecs.qmul.ac.uk.

The closing date for applications is Tuesday 4th September 2012. Applications received after this time will not be considered. 

Interviews are expected to be held on Monday 8th and Tuesday 9th October 2012.
