Tenure Track Faculty Position in Computer Graphics
The University of Utah's School of Computing is seeking to hire a tenure-track faculty member in computer graphics at all levels. Since the 1960s when pioneering graphics research became a core focus at Utah, there has been a vibrant congenial community supporting this activity. Being one of the oldest and most successful graphics programs in the nation, Utah and its alums have played a prominent role in the birth and explosive development of computer graphics. Our program includes large, multi-investigator efforts addressing large-scale problems of significant impact, as well as a number of individual investigator research activities. Currently, computer graphics research has strong programs in modeling/manufacturing, realistic rendering, perception, and scientific visualization. We wish to build upon these successful areas with a dynamic researcher seeking to develop a strong synergistic program in the computer graphics area, especially animation (including physically based animation) or HCI. The School of Computing offers a specialized M.S. and Ph.D. Computing Degree graduate track in Computer Graphics and Visualization.Applicants should have earned a Ph.D. in Computer Science or a closely related field. The University of Utah is located in Salt Lake City, the hub of a large metropolitan area with excellent cultural facilities and unsurpassed opportunities for outdoor recreation only a few minutes' drive away. Additional information about the school can be found at www.cs.utah.edu. Please send curriculum vitae, a research goals statement, a teaching goals statement, and names and addresses of at least four references to:
