The Computer and Information Science (CIS) Department at the University of 
Oregon invites applications for Professor/Department Head.  We seek an 
outstanding scholar who will be excited to head a computer science 
department in a strong public research university.  A number of senior 
faculty have recently or will soon retire, creating an opportunity for 
regeneration through multiple hires over the next several years.  The 
department is currently developing and implementing a strategic plan for 
increased research prominence in the context of a college-wide plan for 
excellence.

We seek an individual with strategic vision and leadership abilities.  The 
ideal candidate will be a prominent scholar with a sustained record of 
publication and research funding in an area of software or intelligent 
systems that complements existing research strengths of the department. 
We are looking for an innovative thinker who is eager to advance 
interdisciplinary scholarship, build bridges between academia and 
industry, mentor faculty to achieve excellence, teach at the undergraduate 
and graduate levels, and communicate the intellectual excitement of 
computer science and its broad, evolving role in contemporary society. A 
PhD in Computer Science or a closely related field is required.

The University of Oregon is an AAU comprehensive research university with 
many nationally and internationally renowned programs.  It is located in

Department is part of the College of Arts and Sciences and is housed
