School of Information & Computer Sciences
Endowed, Distinguished Faculty Positions
Position: Professors Tenured
Having recently received a transformational gift, the Donald Bren School
of Information and Computer Sciences has been endowed with ten "Bren
Chairs" which we seek to fill with distinguished scholars who work on
emerging issues in any area of information and computational sciences,
including cross-disciplinary research integrating information and computer
sciences with other disciplines.
These appointments are at the rank of senior, distinguished professor.
Scholars doing truly cross-disciplinary research may be jointly appointed
with another school at UC Irvine.
Candidates should bring an integrative outlook to the discipline,
enthusiasm in engaging with professional and business communities and the
general public, collaborating with UCI scholars who study issues of
information and computing technology, and support for the development of
advanced technologies and applications. We envision Bren chair-holders to
serve as catalysts on campus to establish educational and research
programs that foster an interdisciplinary 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, stimulation and
leadership in both education and research.
Candidate screening will begin immediately upon receipt of curriculum
vitae. Electronic application is preferred; please refer to the following
web site for instructions:

Applications or nominations should include a cover letter indicating the
area of primary research, a CV, up to five recent publications, and
identification of five or more references.
Paper applications should be sent to:
