Primary Purpose of Organizational Unit
The Department of Computer Science is one of 16 science departments and curricula in the College of Arts and Sciences. It is a major teaching department with more than 30 tenured/tenure track faculty, nine research faculty, and 28 adjunct faculty, who serve more than a thousand undergraduate students and hundreds of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Our driving research ideal is collaboration-as it has been since the founding of our department in 1964. We believe that computer science’s greatest purpose is in working with other scientists to solve problems in their own disciplines. Therefore, we actively seek opportunities to generate new research with our colleagues and with scientists in other departments across campus, including in science, medicine, and the humanities. Numerous computer science faculty members have adjunct or joint appointments in other departments, lead large interdisciplinary research groups, and collaborate with colleagues from multiple universities across the Research Triangle, the United States, and even the world.
Position Summary
A postdoctoral researcher position is available at UNC under Prof. Praneeth Chakravarthula in the computer science department. The focus of this position will include, but is not limited to, computational optics and imaging, holographic displays, AR/VR, computer graphics, AI/ML and perception. The duties of the postdoctoral scholar will include aiding the research of graduate students on various projects and leading research directions complementary to theirs that fall within the scope of the lab’s research. The postdoctoral scholar will have freedom to create a research agenda, as well as opportunities to advise graduate and undergraduate students in the lab, collaborate with other faculty in the department and the university at large, and teach courses if they choose to do so.
