Jay Lepreau Professorship
Faculty Position in Systems
The University of Utah's School of Computing is seeking to hire an outstanding tenure-track or tenured senior faculty member in systems, with a particular emphasis on operating systems, wireless networks, mobile networks or testbeds. This professorship is named in honor of Jay Lepreau, a professor of Computer Science at Utah. Candidates for this position should have an established record of leadership and an interest in large-scale systems research. To assist in discharging research and leadership obligations, successful applicants for this position will have a reduced teaching load and an endowment providing funding into perpetuity.
This professorship provides an opportunity to work closely with the Flux Research Group, which Jay founded and led. This well-established group of research staff and students is more than a dozen years old and draws on decades-long history of strong systems research at Utah. Its past and ongoing projects span a range of systems topics including operating systems, networking, security, programming languages, compilers, software engineering, and testbeds. The group has been a part of research initiatives sponsored by NSF, DARPA and several major companies. One of the group's ongoing and best-known projects is Emulab, a network testbed with global impact. The Emulab software runs testbeds at dozens of sites, and the installation at Utah, in operation for eight years, is used by thousands of researchers at hundreds of institutions worldwide.
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.

Faculty Positions in Digital Media
The University of Utah seeks multiple hires in the field of Digital Media. One position will be in the Film Studies Division in the College of Fine Arts and one position will be in the School of Computing in the College of Engineering. These positions are part of the Utah Science, Technology and Research Initiative (USTAR) which was funded by the Utah State Legislature to attract focused teams of outstanding researchers who have the potential of helping build major research programs and creating new technology that can ultimately lead to commercial products and/or new industries for Utah.

The School of Computing seeks an outstanding faculty member in digital media (animation, computer games, computational photography, or other related area) at the rank of associate or full professor. 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 digital media with strong collaboration with faculty in the College of Fine Arts. The School of Computing offers a specialized M.S. and Ph.D. Computing Degree graduate track in Computer Graphics and Visualization and has an Entertainment Arts and Engineering program at the undergraduate level that spans art and computer science. Applicants should have earned a Ph.D. in Computer Science or a closely related field.
The Division of Film Studies seeks an outstanding faculty member working in media production and/or a digital medium associated with but not limited to the disciplines currently represented within our curriculum. The Film Studies Division of the College of Fine Arts teaches film history & criticism, production, animation, and game design, including a collaborative program with the School of Computing, Entertainment Arts and Engineering. The Division seeks a candidate with an interest in collaboration, creative research, and possible applications of that research in the entertainment industry. The candidate must hold a terminal degree or equivalent professional credentials and should have a strong body of work within their area(s) of interest. The successful candidate will pursue an active research agenda with some teaching responsibilities possibly including the mentorship and supervision of graduate students. The successful candidate will help to foster enthusiasm surrounding research in an environment that presupposes collaboration across all disciplines within the college and the university. The Division offers an M.F.A. in Production and a B.A. in Film Studies.
The University of Utah is located in Salt Lake City, the hub of a large metropolitan area with excellent cultural offerings and unsurpassed opportunities for outdoor recreation only a few minutes drive away.
