Our main criteria is be amazingly smart; not only is research area completely open, but we can even consider hiring at associate or full professor level if we get the right candidate (though assistant prof candidates are also strongly encouraged to apply)<BR/><BR/>--Lenore CowenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3722233.post-1163322094165720472006-11-12T03:01:00.000-06:002006-11-12T03:01:00.000-06:00Lance, FYI, we at MSR once discussed of adapting o...Lance, FYI, we at MSR once discussed of adapting our conference management tool to offer a centralized system for all kind of academic application needs. Not only faculty/staff job applications but also student's admission's applications. I created a power point where I even proposed a solution for those universities which are not yet open to centralized system. For an example in such rare cases, a job applicant can pay shipping cost and the application with all the recommendation letters will be mailed to the university. It sucks that students do not even get to know that many times their letter writers, sometimes even their advisors, do not mail the letter on time. Well at least shipping via a centralized party gives this information to students. So that students can keep asking those letter writers who have not sent their letters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3722233.post-1163271256906751352006-11-11T12:54:00.000-06:002006-11-11T12:54:00.000-06:00MathJobs is great for math.<A HREF="http://www.mathjobs.org/" REL="nofollow">MathJobs</A> is great for math.單中杰https://www.blogger.com/profile/14754929367418830739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3722233.post-1163238766466122692006-11-11T03:52:00.000-06:002006-11-11T03:52:00.000-06:00There is also one more service with Math and CS po...There is also one more service with Math and CS positions - you can subscribe it at<BR/>http://www.academickeys.com/all/subscribe.phpAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3722233.post-1163192103398214012006-11-10T14:55:00.000-06:002006-11-10T14:55:00.000-06:00A standardized database for recruiting would make ...<EM> A standardized database for recruiting would make life easier for all involved but don't hold your breath.</EM><BR/><BR/>After all, as computer scientists we have to ensure that we are technologically behind <BR/>other fields (like math, which already has a centralized server, of sorts)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3722233.post-1163190780770720792006-11-10T14:33:00.000-06:002006-11-10T14:33:00.000-06:00The Chinese University of Hong Kong has a tenure-t...The Chinese University of Hong Kong has a tenure-track opening in theoretical computer science.
