University of North Carolina- Chapel Hill Assistant Professor in NC-Chapel-Hill, United States
Employment Type: Permanent Faculty
Vacancy ID: FAC0004783
Position Summary/Description:
The Computer Science Department at UNC Chapel Hill has openings in all areas of Computer Science and at the rank of assistant professor, to begin on or after July 1, 2024. The department has a strong presence in several areas of Computer Science, including machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, graphics, augmented and virtual reality, medical imaging, robotics, visualization, robotics, real-time systems, embedded and cyber-physical systems, formal verification, mobile computing, security and computer systems, and bioinformatics. We are planning to further grow in all of these areas and invite anyone working in these or allied areas to apply. At the same time, we are keen to attract candidates in more foundational CS topics like programming languages, compilers, computer architecture, operating systems, databases, algorithms, and computational complexity theory, and especially those who are working at the intersection of these topics with emerging areas like machine learning, large language models, computer vision, and AR/VR. The department strongly encourages interdisciplinary research, while being committed to providing high-quality computer science education also in core CS topics. Hence, we are especially interested in applicants who can bridge multiple areas of computer science. Faculty members in computer science also have many possibilities to connect with the wider campus community, and UNC is strong in medicine, public health, and various disciplines in humanities and social sciences. The university has recently established a new School of Data Science & Society ( SDSS ) and the Computer Science Department has already hired faculty members who hold joint appointments in CS and in SDSS . Further such joint hires will also happen this year. Hence, candidates whose work combines core CS with data science should highlight their connection to data science and their interest in a joint appointment with SDSS . A full appointment in CS and an adjunct appointment in SDSS is also possible.
Education and Experience:
Candidates must have a Ph.D. (or foreign equivalent) in computer science, electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a closely related field. Candidates must have a strong track record in externally funded research, student teaching, and student mentoring, and a commitment and collaboration.
