The International Computer Science Institute (ICSI), an independent non-profit laboratory closely affiliated with the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at the University of California, Berkeley (UCB), invites applications for the position of Director, to begin in the Fall Semester of 2008.
The ICSI Director's primary responsibilities are to: oversee and expand ICSI's research agenda; act as a high-level external evangelist for ICSI research; identify and pursue strategic funding opportunities; and strengthen ICSI's relationship with UCB. The Director reports directly to ICSI's Board of Trustees.
ICSI is recognized for its world-class research activities in speech and language processing, networking, and computational biology, and is building a new competency in computer architecture.
