Multiple Faculty Positions

The Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering (CSSE), situated within the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering, invites applications for multiple tenure-track faculty positions. We seek candidates at the Assistant Professor level, although outstanding candidates at a senior level will also be considered. Salary will be commensurate with the candidate's qualifications. Responsibilities include research, graduate student supervision, graduate and undergraduate teaching, and service. A Ph.D. degree in computer science, software engineering, or a closely related field must be completed by the start of appointment. Applicants must have the potential to develop a vigorous externally funded research program and a commitment to teaching.

Applications from candidates with expertise in any area of computer science will be considered. However, our focus areas are Artificial Intelligence with emphasis on Machine Learning, Computer Vision, and Natural Language Processing, Computer Security & Privacy, and Software Engineering. We welcome applications from women, couples, and those belonging to underrepresented groups in computer science.
