UNIVERSITY OF DURHAM DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE 4 Lecturer Posts Up to 4 appointments will be made at the level of Lecturer. It is expected that applicants will range from young researchers who have just completed their PhDs through to established academics with internationally-leading research profiles. Common to all appointments will be a high quality research portfolio or demonstrable potential of such. All positions are tenable from 1st September 2004 or from a mutually acceptable date thereafter. Further particulars can be obtained from the University's jobs pages at: https://jobs.dur.ac.uk/home.asp The Department of Computer Science has recently appointed 8 new members of academic staff, 7 of whom are due to arrive in Durham in summer 2004 and 1 at a later date (see http://www.durham.ac.uk/computer.science for more details). This second phase of our recruitment will take the number of full-time permanent academic staff up to 20, with the intention being to increase this number to 25 by 2006. The appointments will be split across the 2 research groups, which are Theoretical Computer Science, and Software Engineering and Distributed Systems. 2 Lectureships will support the new Professor of Computer Science, Professor Hajo Broersma, and 2 Lectureships will support the Software Engineering and Distributed Systems research group. As regards the 2 Lectureships in Theoretical Computer Science, applications are welcomed from candidates with research interests ranging across the subject, but applications are particularly encouraged from candidates with research interests in: algorithmic graph theory; computational complexity; graph theory and combinatorics; communications networks; and probabilistic and randomised algorithms. As regards the 2 Lectureships in Software Engineering and Distributed Computing, applications are welcomed from candidates whose research interests lie within the broad area covered by these subjects. However, applicants with research interests in visualisation and distributed architectures as they relate to e-Science or in inter-disciplinary applications are particular welcome. Applicants unsure as to whether their research expertise falls under that described above are encouraged to informally contact Professor Iain Stewart who can provide advice and guidance. As mentioned earlier, the first phase of our reorganisation commenced with the advertisement of positions in October 2003. Given that about 7 months have elapsed since then and previous applicants personal details may have changed considerably in that time, previous applicants for the positions advertised in October 2003 are encouraged to re-apply if they feel that their situation merits it. Again, any previous applicants who are undecided should contact Professor Iain Stewart for advice and guidance.
