<a href="https://jobs.colorado.edu/jobs/JobDetail/21053/"><b>Apply for a Tenure-Track Position in Trustworthy Software</b></a>.
<a href="http://www.colorado.edu/cs">The Department of Computer Science</a> at the University of Colorado Boulder is currently seeking applications for a tenure-track faculty position in the area of
secure and reliable software. This includes, but is not limited to, a broad swath of topics, including programming language
foundations (e.g., type systems, language design), large-scale distributed systems (e.g., cloud computing), secure software
(e.g., language-based security), probabilistic programming (e.g., languages for machine learning), automated reasoning (e.g.,
program analysis, software verification), industrial-scale computing (e.g., software engineering), and computing education
research. However, many promising candidates may not identify their work under any of the specific areas listed. Such candidates
are encouraged to contact the search chair (see below).
</p>
<p xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="">The position is open at all levels, with emphasis on applicants at the Assistant Professor level. Candidates whose expertise
cuts across engineering and related disciplines are especially encouraged to apply.
</p>
<p xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="">We are especially interested in qualified candidates who can contribute, through their research, teaching, and service, to
the diversity and excellence of our academic community. Our university is also responsive to dual career situations.
</p>
<p xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="">This position is part of the long-term growth plans for the College of Engineering and Applied Science (CEAS). CEAS is the
highest ranked engineering college in the Rocky Mountain time zone and hosts several nationally ranked departments. The Department
of Computer Science has 2500 undergraduate students, 369 graduate students and 69 faculty. The Department's research and
education efforts interact broadly with many interdisciplinary programs and collaborators in the Boulder area, including national
labs at NIST, NOAA, NREL, and NCAR, and CU Boulder research institutes including the ATLAS Institute, the BioFrontiers Institute,
and the Institute for Cognitive Science. More than 20 faculty members have joint affiliations with one of these labs. The
Department also has a long-standing partnership with the National Center for Women and IT and has faculty active in increasing
the broadening of participation in computer science via their research, teaching, and service. In addition, the Department
has extensive ties with the thriving local tech community and inhabits a picturesque location in the foothills of the Rocky
Mountains.
</p>
<p xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="">Candidates will be expected to engage in undergraduate and graduate teaching, contribute professional service, and develop
vigorous, externally funded research programs in their technical areas. Potential faculty members applying to the Department
of Computer Science at the University of Colorado Boulder should describe their plans to develop a recognized research program
based on scholarly work in their particular field, their ideas for interdisciplinary collaboration, their experience and interests
in teaching undergraduates and graduates, and their future plans for inspiring diverse students to conduct research.
</p>
<p xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="">The position will remain open until filled, though for full consideration applications should be received by December 1, 2019.</p>
<p xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns=""><a href="https://jobs.colorado.edu/jobs/JobDetail/21351/"><b>Apply for an Instructor Position</b></a>.
The Department of Computer Science in the College of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Colorado Boulder
invites applications for a full-time Instructor position. This position will support the Department of Computer Science and
fulfillment of the department’s educational mission through teaching Computer Science courses on the CU-Boulder campus.
</p>
<p xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="">Candidates must demonstrate a strong commitment to high-quality undergraduate education. We are particularly interested in
candidates with a background in the areas of algorithms, databases, software engineering, or programming languages.
</p>
<p xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="">Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.</p>

<h4><em>Compiler and Runtime Optimizations for GPU Memory Systems</em></h4>
<div>
<h4>Abstract</h4>
<p xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">In recent year, we have seen a rapid rise of massive parallelism in
modern processors, exemplified by GPUs, APUs and MIC processors. The
emergence of massive parallelism in a single node brings growing
demands for efficient data accesses. Optimizing memory throughput is
hence critical for tapping into the full potential of the many-core
systems. In the first half of the talk, I will present some
theoretical and empirical results on optimizing memory coalescing for
GPUs. In the second half of the talk, I will present our framework to
automatically place data on GPUs for performance and portability.

<h4><em>
Beyond Requirements Falsification: Semi-Formal Methods and Tools for the Analysis of Cyber-Physical Systems
</em></h4>
<div>
<h4>Abstract</h4>
<p xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">Correct-by-design synthesis methods for Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are still in their infancy for CPS with complex physical
dynamics. For that reason, a combination of design theories for simpler systems and/or ad-hoc design approaches are
utilized. Hence, numerous design and implementation errors are discovered while CPS are operational in the field. Such errors
can have catastrophic effects to human life and to the economy. Over the last few years, requirements guided falsification
methods have proven to be a practical approach to the verification problem of industrial size CPS. However, requirements falsification
is just one component of the necessary tools for the development of safe and reliable CPS. In this talk, Fainekos
will provide an overview of his team's research in providing support for all the stages of the development for CPS, from formal
requirements elicitation and mining to system conformance to on-line monitoring. Most of their methods have been
implemented in a Matlab (TM) toolbox called S-TaLiRo (System's TemporAl LogIc Robustness). Finally, in this talk, he will
demonstrate that S-TaLiRo can provide answers to challenge problems from the automotive industry.
