The Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences at University of California, Irvine (UCI) is seeking outstanding scholars for multiple endowed Donald Bren Professorships in the broad area of computing, including cross-disciplinary research integrating information, statistical methods and application, and computation with other disciplines. Appointments will be at the rank of full professor and are anticipated to begin July 2022 or later.  Scholars doing cross-disciplinary research may be jointly appointed with another school at UCI.

Endowed chair holders are expected to serve as catalysts on campus to establish educational and research programs that foster a collaborative perspective. Accordingly, candidates should not only have a strong disciplinary background with a distinguished record of scholarly publications and extramural funding, but also a proven track record of innovation, collaboration, and leadership in both education and research.  A successful candidate would be entrepreneurial and enthusiastic in engaging with industry, professional and business communities, and the public.

Application screening will begin immediately upon receipt of curriculum vitae. Electronic applications are required; please refer to the following website.

Completed applications containing a cover letter, curriculum vitae, statements on inclusive excellence activities, teaching, and research, three letters of recommendation, and sample research publications should be uploaded electronically.

One of fifteen academic units at UCI, the Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences was elevated to an independent School by the UC Regents in 2002.
