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): https://sid.units.it/albo/viewer?view=files/001462632-untscle-b1634c17-d1ed-4d25-9db7-b76ad0983131-000.pdf


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/).

A necessary condition for qualification is to have a value >= in at least two of these three indicators in scopus: >= 4 journal papers in the last 5 years, >= 157 citations in the last 10 years, h-index for the last 10 years >= 7.  More info on the italian academic system here: https://www.eui.eu/ProgrammesAndFellowships/AcademicCareersObservatory/AcademicCareersbyCountry/Italy.
