University of Rochester
Tenure Track Position in Computer Science

The University of Rochester Department of Computer Science seeks applicants for a tenure-track faculty position beginning in Fall 2012 or Spring 2013. We are particularly interested in researchers in human-computer interaction and machine learning, but will consider outstanding candidates in other areas.  Candidates must have a PhD in computer science or related discipline.

The Department of Computer Science is a research-oriented department with a distinguished history of contributions in systems, theory, artificial intelligence, and HCI.  We have a collaborative culture and strong ties to cognitive science, linguistics, and electrical and computer engineering.  Over the past decade, a third of its PhD graduates have won tenure-track faculty positions, and its alumni include leaders at major research laboratories such as Google, Microsoft, and IBM.  Teaching loads are light (one course per semester) and classes are small (typically 20 students).

The University of Rochester is a private, Tier I research institution located in western New York State.  The University of Rochester consistently ranks among the top 30 institutions, both public and private, in federal funding for research and development.  Half of its undergraduates go on to post-graduate or professional education.  The university includes the Eastman School of Music, a premiere music conservatory, and the University of Rochester Medical Center, a major medical school, research center, and hospital system.

Candidates should apply online at https://www.rochester.edu/fort/csc/.  Review of applications will begin on Dec. 1, and continue until all interview openings are filled. The University of Rochester has a strong commitment to diversity and actively encourages applications from candidates from groups underrepresented in higher education. The University is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
