The Lane Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering invites applications for tenure track faculty positions at the assistant or associate professor level. Applicants should be interested in contributing to and shaping WVU's rapidly growing programs in identification technology integral to the NSF Center for Identification Technology Research (CITeR). Applicants should demonstrate technical expertise in computer vision, computer security, cyber-physical systems, or another relevant area. Successful candidates are expected to develop a vigorous extramurally funded research program in biometrics, identity management or related computer security topics, build effective collaborations, and demonstrate commitment to teaching excellence. An earned Ph.D. in computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, or a closely related discipline is required.

The challenge researchers often face is translating their success in the lab into the broader world so that society can benefit from their advances. In the world of biometrics - the science of recognizing humans based on physical or behavorial traits - this transition is especially critical today as researchers are developing systems that government agencies can use in law enforcement, national security, defense and other applications. In order to help accelerate that transition, the U.S. Department of Justice has awarded a $1 million grant to West Virginia University's biometrics researchers.
