Tenure-track position position on machine learning at Wesleyan University

We have a tenure-track position at Wesleyan University this year, and machine learning is one of our focus areas. Wesleyan is a liberal arts college that also has a strong graduate program in the sciences, and it's a great place to be if you enjoy both research and teaching. One member of our CS department applies machine learning techniques in software engineering, we are combined with a strong math department, and there is a lot of interest in "data science" on campus more generally, so there would be lots of collaboration opportunities for a machine learning person. Please let me know if you have any questions!

The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Wesleyan University invites applications for a tenure track assistant professorship in Computer Science to begin in fall 2016. Candidates must have a Ph.D. in hand by the time of appointment, and must have a strong research record and experience in teaching. Wesleyan currently has a strong research group in theory, programming languages, and software engineering and a 2-1 teaching load (three courses per year).
We encourage candidates in all areas of Computer Science to apply but the department is especially interested in databases, machine learning, natural language processing, software engineering and software systems. Prospective candidates should not feel constrained by this list, particularly those who would contribute to the diversity of the faculty.
We will begin reviewing applications on Dec. 1, 2015. Applications should include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, research statement, teaching statement and at least four letters of recommendation, one of which discusses teaching. As part of your teaching statement we invite you to describe your cultural competencies and experiences engaging a diverse student body.
Applications must be submitted online at academicjobsonline.org.
