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.
