Note that strong applicants in TCS are encouraged to apply, even though the call mentions other areas explicitly. One position is earmarked for Software Engineering, which does not rule out some TCS-related research.

-----------------------
The School of Computer Science at Reykjavik University invites applications for several full-time faculty positions.
We are looking for energetic, highly qualified academics who, apart from developing their own research programs, will strengthen some of the existing research areas within the School, or build bridges between them or with industry. Of particular interest are candidates in the areas of software engineering, data analytics, computer security and systems, broadly construed, but exceptionally qualified candidates from all areas of computer science are encouraged to apply.
Candidates are expected to have a proven international research record and will be expected to play a full part in the teaching and administrative activities of the School. The applicants are expected to teach courses at both graduate and undergraduate level. It is preferred that applicants have a demonstrated history of excellence in teaching at the graduate and undergraduate levels. A PhD in computer science or closely related field is required.
Salary and rank are commensurate with experience. The positions are open until filled, with the earliest available starting date in August 2016, but later starting dates can be negotiated.
The review of the applications will begin on March 15th and continue until the positions are filled. Application letters should be submitted through the University's online application submission system here below.
- a cover letter
- a CV with a list of publications,
- a research statement,
- copies of three to five major publications,
- a teaching statement,
- supporting material regarding excellence in teaching, and
- any other relevant information the applicant wishes to supply.
Please arrange to have at least three letters of recommendation sent directly to mannaudur@ru.is (subject "Faculty Positions in CS") with a cc to the Dean of the School of Computer Science, DrProf. Yngvi Björnsson (yngvi@ru.is). Informal communication and discussions on any aspect related to the positions are encouraged, and interested candidates are welcome to contact the chairman of the search committee, DrProf. Magnús Már Halldórsson (mmh@ru.is), for further information.
The School of Computer Science at Reykjavik University has about 800 students and 18 permanent faculty members. The school offers undergraduate and graduate programs in computer science and software engineering, as well as a combined-degree undergraduate program in discrete mathematics and computer science. The doctoral program within the School received its ministerial accreditation in 2009. Quoting from the accreditation report on PhD studies from 2009 (http://www.ru.is/media/td/SCS_accreditation.pdf):
The School of Computer Science is "the strongest in Iceland" (p. 6) and its research is "on a similar level to that of cutting-edge institutions worldwide" (p. 15).
