The Chair will be expected to maintain an innovative research program that will attract outstanding students and faculty, to help provide leadership for the department's research activities, and to acquire substantial external funding.
In addition, the department expects to have openings for faculty at all levels. Areas of particular interest include architecture, bioinformatics, database systems, distributed computing, operating systems, networking, and software engineering, but strong candidates in other areas will also be considered. Candidates must be outstanding researchers and teachers and must have a PhD by the appointment date.

Current active areas of research in the department include algorithms, computational geometry, database systems, graphics and visualization, information security, machine learning, multimedia and computer vision, software engineering, web information retrieval, and wireless information systems. Faculty research is supported by numerous NSF grants, including six current or recent CAREER grants, and by funding from other federal agencies, New York State, and industry.
