Senior Faculty Position in Imaging Science 

Applications are invited for the Frederick Wiedman Jr. Chair, an endowed faculty position in the Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science at the Rochester Institute of Technology.

The Center is a cross-disciplinary academic unit in the College of Science offering B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. Ongoing research topics within the Center include remote sensing, astronomy data pipelining and instrumentation, color and visual science, chemical imaging, and medical ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging. More information on the academic and research activities of the Carlson Center can be found at http://www.cis.rit.edu.

The Frederick Wiedman Jr. Professor will have a research interest and background in the development of imaging algorithms.
