Benjamin M. Statler College of Engineering & Mineral Resources
Tenure-Track Faculty Position in Biometrics and Identity Management
The Lane Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering (LCSEE) invites applications for one or more tenure track faculty positions in the field of biometric
systems. Applicants will be considered at all faculty ranks, and will be evaluated according to the rank requested. Areas of desired technical ability include machine learning,
pattern recognition, sensor development, DNA-based identification, energy systems applications, and analysis of large data sets, with applications to biometric systems and
identity management. An earned Ph.D. in computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering or a closely related discipline is required. Successful candidates
must have the ability to develop a vigorous research program extramurally funded from multiple federal agencies and industry, build effective collaborations, and teach at the
undergraduate and graduate levels.
West Virginia University (www.wvu.edu) is a comprehensive land grant research institution with an enrollment of nearly 32,000 students and a Carnegie Classification -
High Research. Morgantown and vicinity has a diverse population of about 62,000 residents, is ranked among the most livable small cities in the country
(www.morgantownwv.gov), and is within convenient driving distance to Pittsburgh and Washington, DC.
The Lane Department (www.lcsee.statler.wvu.edu) has 35 tenure-track faculty members, 400 undergraduate students, 150 MS students, and 75 Ph.D. students. It offers
degrees in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Biometric Systems, and Software Engineering. In addition, WVU is recognized by the NSA/DHS
as a Center for Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education and Research. The Department is home to the Center for Identification Technology Research (CITeR),
an NSF I/UCRC site. The Department conducts approximately $6 million annually in externally sponsored research, with major research activities in the areas of biometric
identification, nanotechnology, power systems, software and systems engineering, and wireless networks. Strong opportunities exist for building collaborative partnerships
with nearby federal research facilities, including the Department of Defense, Department of Energy, FBI, and NASA. A new engineering research building is under construction
by the Statler College with completion expected by early 2015.
Applications must be submitted as a single PDF file containing a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a statement of research and teaching interests, and contact information for three
professional references. Applications should be submitted electronically to Department Chair Brian Woerner, at brian.woerner@mail.wvu.edu, with the phrase "Biometrics" in
the subject line. Applications will be reviewed beginning October 15, 2014, and will continue to be processed until positions are filled.
