The University of Warwick is one of the founding partners in New York's recently announced Centre for Urban Science and Progress (CUSP).

http://www.nyu.edu/about/university-initiatives/center-for-urban-science-progress.html

CUSP is an applied sciences institute focused on creating new transdisciplinary solutions for ‘smart urban environments’.

At full strength, CUSP will house 30 faculty, 400 Master’s students, 100 PhD students and 30 post-docs, researching areas including intelligent transportation, managing urban services and infrastructure, public safety and security, health informatics, and efficient, responsive and resilient buildings.

The University of Warwick is seeking to make several appointments in support of this initiative.

We welcome interest from Computer Science researchers in areas including:

Information Analytics;
Sensors and Mobile Infrastructures;
Data Visualization;
Security and Surveillance;
Real-time video processing;
Adaptive control and machine learning;
The Internet of Things.

Other research areas with clear application to smart cities and urban science will also be considered.

You will undertake research, teaching, administration and other activities supporting the work of the Department of Computer Science, both at the University of Warwick and also at the Centre for Urban Science and Progress (CUSP) in New York.

You will have a PhD or equivalent in Computer Science or a discipline related to smart urban environments, and you will be able to demonstrate excellent research potential in this area. You will have interdisciplinary interests and industrial research experience. Although you will be based at the University of Warwick in the UK, you must be prepared to make regular visits to New York for teaching and research purposes. You will also be required to work with industry partners as part of this initiative.

Closing date: 2 July 2012

The closing date/time for applications is midnight (British time) at the end of Friday 29 June 2012.

February sees the launch of the ROADBLOCK project, funded by the EPSRC with the goal of developing artificial and programmable bacterial coatings to protect surfaces against infective agents. While Bioengineering techniques that allow genes to be manipulated have been around for some time, the discipline of Synthetic Biology allows for the more effective design of genetic circuits. The Principle Investigator for this project is Dr Sara Kalvala, who will be applying her expertise in Compiler Design and Formal Logics towards the development of tools which will help assemble genetic networks and model their interactions with host genes.

The Department invites applications for a Research Fellowship to work on this three-year project. The project requires a post-doctoral researcher with a good background in Computer Science, especially in either Compiler Design or Automated Reasoning, who would like to expand their horizons and apply their knowledge into Synthetic Biology.

More information and details of the application procedure are available from http://go.warwick.ac.uk/kalvala/pdra. The deadline for applications is 27 February 2012.

The Department of Computer Science at the University of Warwick invites applications from candidates with proven excellence in research in computer science for the new opening as Assistant Professor in Computer Science.

Candidates are required to have a PhD in Computer Science or related discipline, should be able to demonstrate excellent research potential in computer science, and should be capable of research leadership, e.g., co-supervising MSc and PhD students in Computer Science and contributing to the preparation of research grants. Ideally the candidate will complement the research in the Department, but other research areas will also be considered in particularly strong cases. Special considerations will be given to candidates with interdisciplinary interests and industrial research experience. Candidates should also have excellent teaching skills as they will be expected to deliver taught modules in Computer Science and contribute to curriculum development.

To apply, please follow the instructions available on the official University web-page.
