Tenure Track position (any rank) open in Information Tech (including VR/Simulation) at the University of Florida

The College of Engineering at the University of Florida is recruiting for a tenure-track position at assistant, associate, and full professor level. Recruiting will continue until the position is filled (expected sometime in Spring 2011). The position is slightly unique in that we are trying to find new faculty that can collaborate across departmental boundaries, and thus the candidate can identify their "home" department. In particular, the college is seeking outstanding candidates with a research focus in Information Technology. Of the several anticipated positions within IT that we are hiring for, we are specifically encouraging applicants with a research focus in simulation and virtual reality to apply.
