Faculty Search Plug & Announcement

[Lucia K. Dale]

Hello, All

The ad included below appeared in the Dec'01 Communications of the ACM.
I'd just like to add in my 2 cents about Sewanee.  I've been at the
University for a year now and I really love it here.  The area is 
geographically stunning -- very much like living in the middle
of a national park.  We have lots of hiking and outdoor activity 
opportunities.  

The school itself is a well-endowed liberal arts school.  Teaching is 
of primary importance but excellent research funding and support also
is possible.  I've recently been awarded a 3 year NSF grant specifically
targeted to research at undergraduate universities.  The students here
are smart and engaged and class sizes are small so you can do a lot
with your students. 

Feel free to email me or call me direct if you have questions 
before applying directly to my department head as suggested in the 
ad below.

Cheers

Applications are invited for a tenure track position in computer 
science at the assistant professor level to begin in the Fall of the 
year 2002. The position requires a Ph.D. in computer science. 
Candidates must be committed to both teaching and research in a 
four-year liberal arts college.

The University of the South, commonly known as Sewanee, is a highly 
selective church-related (Episcopal) liberal arts college of 1300 
students located on a 10,000 acre forested domain in the Tennessee 
uplands. The student faculty ratio is 11 to one and the endowment per 
student is among the highest in the nation.

The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science offers majors in 
both mathematics and computer science as well as the respective 
minors. The department also offers service courses for students 
majoring in other programs and teaches courses which are part of the 
core curriculum of the college.

Facilities include a workstation laboratory with Linux and NT 
operating systems for advanced courses and state of the art teaching 
laboratories for introductory courses. The campus network provides 
connections to faculty offices, computer labs, classrooms, student 
dorm rooms, the library, academic and administrative file servers, 
and the Internet.

We have in place a vigorous program in computer science and seek 
candidates who would actively participate in its further development. 
Broad education in computer science and appreciation for the liberal 
arts tradition in education are desirable. Our students participate 
in an expanding program of undergraduate research initiatives and 
some former students are attending the best graduate schools in the 
country.

A complete application will include a letter stating one's 
professional aims and giving reasons for interest in a liberal arts
