In the context of the excellence framework for departments funded
by the Italian Government, the Department of Mathematics and
Geosciences (DMG) is offering a tenure track position in computer
science (Ricercatore tipo b, RTDb).
The call is out - you can find it here (in Italian):

Deadline for application is *October 7, 2018*
Interested candidates can contact prof. Luca Bortolussi (
lbort...@units.it) for
further informations.
We are looking for national or international strong and motivated
candidates, which have the qualification for associate professor
or are likely to get it in the next three years (this is a
necessary condition to get a tenured associate professor
position).* The RTDb position corresponds to an assistant
professor or lecturer, and lasts for 3 years, at the end of which
qualified candidates can get the tenure and become associate
professors (a permanent position). The gross salary for RTDb
positions is about 35k euros, rising to 50k once tenured.
In the context of computer science, DMG is the leading department
of a novel master program in Data Science and Scientific
Computing, jointly organised with the university of Udine, SISSA
and ICTP. Hence, the RTDb will be interacting and collaborating in
the broader context of the Trieste and FVG system of scientific
institutions.
The scientific profile of the candidate has to be coherent with
the department excellence project, focussed on Data Science and
Scientific Computing. We look for expertise in one or more of the
following areas of computer science: data management, information
retrieval, data mining and machine learning, statistical
predictive modeling, large scale simulation of complex systems ,
integration of data-based models and simulation, quantitative
formal methods, artificial intelligence. We prefer scientific
profiles with experience in more than one of these areas, and with
a background certifying the ability and attitude to interact in
multi-disciplinary research groups.
Teaching: the candidate is expected to teach approximatively two
courses, to be identified according to her/his scientific profile
and competences. In the first years, the candidate is expected to
teach in english in the international master program in Data
Science and Scientific Computing (
http://dssc.units.it) and in the
ESFM phd program of the department (
http://web.units.it/dottorato/esfm/).
