F240012- Assistant, Associate, Full Professor - Artificial Intelligence

Recognizing the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the

at the University at Buffalo (UB) seeks applicants with a strong research background in AI

for a multi-departmental faculty cluster that will engage collaboratively on a variety of shared problems that can benefit from the application of emerging data science tools. Faculty appointments at all three levels (

) are anticipated, with one hire in the

at UB.

The cluster will emphasize a new model for multidisciplinary collaboration, both among faculty within this group and with existing colleagues across SEAS and UB. Applicants should have a strong and demonstrated commitment to engagement in collaborative research and education. The successful candidate will also be expected to teach courses at the graduate and undergraduate levels, mentor graduate students, advise students at all levels, and maintain an active research program. The successful candidate for an Associate Professor or Full Professor position should have a record of scholarly accomplishments, teaching experience, and a sustained externally funded research program.

Outstanding Benefits Package

The Department of Computer Science and Engineering (

) offers BS degrees in computer science (accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission of

), and computer engineering (accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of

), a combined 5-year BS-MS program, a minor in computer science, a Certificate in Data-Intensive Computing, and several joint programs (BS in Computer Science/

, BS in Computational Physics, BA in Social Sciences Interdisciplinary – Cognitive Science Concentration, BS in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology –

concentration) as well as MS and PhD programs in Computer Science & Engineering.

The department currently has over 60 faculty, including 14 teaching faculty, approximately 2,500 undergraduate majors, 900 masters’ students and 150 PhD students. Over 20 junior faculty members have been hired since 2017, and we are continuing to expand. Two members of our faculty currently hold key university leadership positions, and nine members of our faculty are IEEE and/or ACM Fellows. The department is well known for offering an excellent collaborative and nurturing environment for faculty. A total of 10 junior faculty received NSFCAREER awards in the past 4 years, with 5 of them coming in 2019 which sets a national record.

Our faculty members are actively involved in cutting-edge research and successful interdisciplinary programs and centers devoted to algorithms and theory; artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data mining; biometrics; biomedical computing and bioinformatics; computational and data science and engineering; computer architecture and hardware; computer vision and multimedia systems; computing education; computer security, cryptography, and privacy; connected and autonomous vehicles and sustainable transportation; database systems; distributed systems and networks; edge computing and embedded systems; information integrity; high performance computing; human-computer interaction; mobile computing; natural language processing; programming language and software engineering; operating systems; robotics; and society and computing. Our faculty has an excellent publication record.

Since 2015, the department has moved up its rank to be among the top 35 on csrankings.org and is among the top 25 in two recent years (2017 and 2019). During the same period, our research expenditure has grown from $4.5 million (for AY 2015- 2016) to $10 million (AY 2022-2023). In early 2023, a multi-institute research team led by UB CSE faculty received a highly competitive $20 million grant from the National Science Foundation to establish a national institute to develop AI technologies to help children with speech and language disorders.

University at Buffalo is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer and, in keeping with our commitment, welcomes all to apply including veterans and individuals with disabilities.
