This is an exciting opportunity for a Lecturer or Senior Lecturer in Algorithms at the University of Sheffield, an internationally renowned institution. Working in the Department of Computer Science, you will join our Foundations of Computation (FOX) Group led by Professor Georg Struth. Its research topics range from the theoretical mathematical foundations that underpin computer science to their applications in real world contexts. The role of Lecturer is equivalent to Assistant Professor; that of a Senior Lecturer to Associate Professor.
The FOX is one of the largest and most diverse research groups of its type in the UK. We are therefore seeking to appoint a Lecturer or Senior Lecturer to strengthen and/or complement our work in the design and analysis of algorithms and complexity theory, with specialist expertise in an area including, but not limited to:
Computational complexity
Algorithm design and analysis
Algorithms for artificial intelligence
Algorithmic game theory
You will hold a PhD in computer science or a related area, and you will be able to conduct research to the highest standards. You will secure research funding, publish in high impact journals and conferences, supervise research students, and manage research projects. As a teacher, you will play a key role in maintaining our reputation for high-quality teaching by designing, delivering, and assessing undergraduate and postgraduate-level courses in computer science. We seek candidates who will be able to make a distinctive individual contribution to our algorithms research portfolio.
We’re one of the best not-for-profit organisations to work for in the UK. The University’s Total Reward Package includes a competitive salary, a generous Pension Scheme and annual leave entitlement, as well as access to a range of learning and development courses to support your personal and professional development.
We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching, and student experience.
