The Department of Creative IT

Engineering (CiTE) at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH, one

of the best small and young universities in the world, e.g., #1 in the Young

University (less than 50 years old) rankings for three consecutive years, 2012-2014)

is currently soliciting applications for a tenure-track faculty position in HSS.

Appointments at all levels will be considered.

 

POSTECH’s CiTE

offers BS

and Ph.D. degrees. World-class faculty members with diverse disciplinary backgrounds and

various research themes actively perform high-risk and high-impact research and

nurture future innovators and leaders. Incoming CiTE students have been ranked in the top 1% of high school

students in Korea. To establish a strong hardware infrastructure and a unique culture

of excellence that facilitate innovative education and research endeavors, our

state-of-the-art building named C⁵ (Creative,

Collaborative, Cultivating, Convergence Center) was completed in 2015 and

became the home of CiTE.

 

Successful candidates are expected to

engage in multidisciplinary and student-centered education in CiTE and perform pioneering

research to solve difficult unmet needs, open up new frontiers and create a

better future via teamwork.  In CiTE,

there are 3 focus areas of research: Smart Computing, Smart Devices &

Systems, and IT-based Future Healthcare. An HSS faculty in CiTE is expected to lead an independent research

program and collaborate with the current research groups to produce synergistic

effects.  We would particularly welcome

those HSS candidates who have experience in crossing disciplinary boundaries

and performing education/research collaboration with sciences and engineering.

 

The application deadline is September 30, 2016.  Interested candidates should submit the

following: (1) CV with a list of at least 3 references, (2) Statement on

education and plan, (3) Research plan, and (4) Up to 5 representative publications
