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 research department with more than 30 tenured/tenure track faculty, nine teaching track faculty, 12 research faculty, and 17 adjunct faculty, who serve more than a thousand undergraduate students and hundreds of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Teaching and research activities are currently assisted by nearly 200 graduate students and eight EHRA non-faculty. Twenty-four SHRA positions, including technical and administrative personnel, support the infrastructure of the department. 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 | 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. |
Minimum Education and Experience Requirements | 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 to collaboration. |
