The Department of Computer Science at Purdue University invites applications for tenure-track positions beginning August 2008. While outstanding candidates in all areas of Computer Science will be considered, preference will be given to applicants with a demonstrable research record in operating systems, software engineering, and theory. Candidates with a multi-disciplinary focus are also encouraged to apply. Of special interest are applicants with research focus in computational science and engineering, bioinformatics, and health-care engineering. The level of the positions will depend on the candidate's experience.

The Department of Computer Science offers a stimulating and nurturing academic environment. Forty-four faculty members direct research programs in analysis of algorithms, bioinformatics, databases, distributed and parallel computing, graphics and visualization, information security, machine learning, networking, programming languages and compilers, scientific computing, and software engineering.
