Seeking to hire a postdoctoral scholar in computing for sustainability and to retain the candidate as a faculty member at Lehigh University’s Department of Computer Science and Engineering. The postdoc is expected to contribute to a foundational sustainable model, including resilience to natural disasters and reducing uncertainty regarding rising sea levels.
Outstanding scholars with diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and expertise in computer vision, signal processing, machine learning, artificial intelligence, remote sensing, science-informed machine learning, and computing for sustainability and climate change or a closely related area are encouraged to apply.
The program will provide professional development and support to prepare scholars for faculty roles at Lehigh or similar institutions. Multiple faculty members will provide Mentoring and professional development, led by Dr. Maryam Rahnemoonfar (associate professor of CSE and CEE and director of Computer Vision and Remote Sensing Laboratory, Bina lab).
To build the Lehigh of the future, the Advancing Future Faculty Diversity Postdoctoral Scholars Program seeks applications from outstanding scholars with diverse backgrounds and perspectives who plan to pursue a career in the professoriate. Following a successful postdoctoral experience, each scholar may be considered for an assistant professor position in the relevant department at Lehigh (or is expected to be competitive for jobs at other institutions). We invite applications for the second cohort of Lehigh’s Advancing Future Faculty Diversity Scholars to start as soon as Summer/Fall 2024.
This opportunity is aimed at prospective future faculty whose experience and plans for teaching, research, and service are aligned with creating a more diverse and inclusive academic culture of excellence at Lehigh or institutions like Lehigh.
Appointed Scholars will create individual future faculty development plans, participate in networked mentoring support, engage in professional development activities, and receive a flexible professional development fund to establish an independent career. At Lehigh University, Postdoctoral Scholars are eligible for full staff salary and benefits, including access to medical, dental, and retirement plan contributions.
Open Applications until February 15, 2024.
Submissions: Cover letter, CV, research statement, teaching statement, diversity statement, and three references’ names and contact details.
