The Department of Informatics at the University of Zurich is inviting
applications for a
tenured faculty position
in the area of
Human Computer Interaction.
We seek applications from outstanding candidates with a strong focus on
concepts, algorithms and tools in human centered man-machine interaction
problems. Research areas of central interes include but are not limited
to graphical or multimodal user interfaces, novel interactive
interaction concepts, or interaction in the large (interaction with
groups and social networks).
Successful candidates should actively pursue research projects of their
interest in the context of HCI and are encouraged to collaborate with
current faculty in related areas such as for example CSCW, AI or
graphics and multimedia. In accordance with the university's expectation
on teaching involvement, the candidate should develop undergraduate and
graduate courses in the area of his or her research interest as well as
contribute to the basic computer science education.
Promising applicants have an excellent background and education in
computer science or a closely related field. With respect to the level
of the position, promising candidates have a proven track record in
research and teaching commensurate with their academic experience. For
this tenured faculty position, the usual academic hiring requirements
have to be met (doctoral degree and additionally a habilitation or
equivalent scientific qualifications in the area of expertise).
Qualified female applicants are especially welcome.
The position is open for an associate or full professorship. In the
former case, a promotion to full can be considered at a later stage,
given sufficient qualifications. Excellent candidates in the early
stages of their academic careers, with a strong research record but that
do not readily qualify for a full professorship, are thus strongly
encouraged to apply.
Applications should include a detailed resume, research and teaching
statements, and the names and addresses of at least three references.
Applications should be sent to:
Dean of Economics, Business Administration and Information Technology
University of Zuerich
Raemistrasse 71
