A collaboration between the Colleges of Engineering and Education has formed around a research initiative entitled “Networked Learning Systems.” The key challenges of NLS are the advancement and integration of learning systems, information and language processing, and network technology. A cross-disciplinary collaboration between the Colleges of Engineering and Education offers great potential for research and development of networked knowledge systems to augment learning and performance. Through an enhancement from the University, several new tenure-track faculty positions have been created in the Department of Computer Engineering/Computer Science (CECS) and in the School of Information Science and Learning Technologies (SISLT). SISLT is seeking applicants to fill one position focusing on developing networked learning systems.
The successful applicant will have a Ph.D. or Ed.D. or ABD with completion by December 2001, in computer science, educational technologies or a related field and will be expected to provide technology leadership on research and development projects that build and test new systems of networked learning. Potential applicants with experience and interest in open source and linux-based systems are encouraged to apply. Research activities will be facilitated in the Center for Technology Innovations in Education (CTIE) (http://www.ctie.missouri.edu). The rank for this position is open.
All Faculty in the NLS initiative are expected to collaborate with a very strong research group in multimedia processing, computational intelligence, web-based digital libraries, networking, and learning systems. Applicants should have a track record or high potential for successful projects, publications, and grants.
