UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO AT BOULDER
Institute of Cognitive Science
Tenure-Track Position in
Department of Computer Science
The Institute of Cognitive Science of the University of Colorado at
Boulder invites applications for a tenure-track position with an
academic home in the Department of Computer Science. Preference
will be given to candidates at the assistant professor level but
candidates at all levels will be considered. Candidates should have a
demonstrated interest in theoretical and methodological applications
of cognitive science to rethinking, reinventing, and re-engineering
education from a lifelong learning perspective and strong experience
with computational media and environments in support of innovative
educational approaches.
The position will be closely associated with the Center for LifeLong
Learning and Design (L3D). L3D is an educational and research unit
of CU-Boulder sponsored by the Institute of Cognitive Science and
the Department of Computer Science. Its mission is the ongoing
development of theory and technology to support learning (i.e., lifelong
learning, learning on demand, collaborative learning, organizational
learning) and design in the context of authentic, self-directed, realistic
problems. L3D collaborates with educational institutions at all levels,
research organizations, industrial partners, and community
organizations to develop innovative educational models supported by
adequate technology to prepare learners and workers for the 21st
century.
Preference will be given to candidates with a strong interdisciplinary
training, experience, and interests, and a commitment to contributing
to interdisciplinary research. Candidates should expect to teach a
range of undergraduate and graduate courses in cognitive and
computer science, actively engage in and contribute to research
central to the interests of L3D, and fully participate in the activities of
the Institute of Cognitive Science, including its graduate training
program.
The University of Colorado supports the principle of diversity. We are
particularly interested in receiving applications from women, ethnic
minorities, disabled persons, veterans, and veterans of the Vietnam
Era.
Applicants should send a resume, samples of scholarly work, and
three letters of reference to Dr. Martha Polson, Associate Director,
institute of Cognitive Science, Campus Box 344, University of
Colorado, Boulder, CO 80309 USA. To ensure consideration,
applications should be received by January 31, 1997. Early
applications are encouraged.
