The School of Informatics and Computing (SoIC) at Indiana University Bloomington invites applications by Dec 1, 2014 for an asst/assoc/full professor position in complex networks and systems, in the Informatics Division, to begin in August 2015. The position is expected to be filled at the senior level, but outstanding junior candidates will be considered.

Applications are especially encouraged from established leaders, who will have opportunities for leadership roles in the Center for Complex Networks and Systems and in the ambitious, university-wide Network Science Institute that was recently announced.

Applicants should have an established record (senior level) or demonstrable potential for excellence (junior level) in research and teaching, and a Ph.D. in a relevant area, or (junior level) expected by 8/2015.

The SoIC is the first of its kind and among the largest in the country, with unsurpassed breadth. Its mission is to excel and lead in education, research, and outreach spanning and integrating the full breadth of computing and information technology. It includes Computer Science, Informatics, and Library and Information Science, with over 85 tenure-line faculty, 900 graduate students, and 1100 undergraduate majors. It offers Ph.D.s in Computer Science, Informatics, and Information Science.

The SoIC Center for Complex Networks and Systems Research currently has 10 faculty members with strong ties to several other units at Indiana University that pursue research in the field of Complex Systems, including Cognitive Science, Psychology, Physics, Sociology, Political Science, Biocomplexity, and Information Science. Center faculty research areas include complex information and social networks, data science, Web science, social computing, computational biology, robotics, computational intelligence, bio-inspired computing, large scale data modeling and simulation, and science of science & innovation. We are particularly interested in strengthening our emphasis on data-driven exploration and modeling of networks, social systems, and their dynamics.

Bloomington is a culturally thriving college town with a moderate cost of living and the amenities for an active lifestyle. IU is renowned for its top-ranked music school, high-performance computing and networking facilities, and performing and fine arts.
