University of Virginia Looking for Open rank tenured or tenure-track faculty in Computer Science Full Time

University of Virginia: UVA Provost’s Office: School of Engineering and Applied Science: Computer Science
Location: Charlottesville, VA
Description:

The Department of Computer Science (CS) at the University of Virginia (UVA) seeks 7 tenured or tenure-track faculty at all ranks and in all areas of computer science. We are seeking a comprehensive expansion of the department that also builds bridges with the many other strengths at the University. The primary responsibilities for these tenured/tenure-track positions include research, teaching, and service to the department, university, and professional community. The appointment rank will be commensurate with experience and qualifications.

Our department is proud to have a strong culture of collaboration and collegiality and is committed to providing the kind of diverse and inclusive environment necessary to solve the next generation of research challenges. We currently have substantial strengths in algorithms and theory; artificial intelligence; computer systems; cyber-physical systems/robotics/internet of things; human-computer interaction; security and privacy; and software engineering and languages. We are looking to add talented faculty to grow our existing strengths and expand our areas of research.

CS plays a significant role in UVA’s major investments in grand-challenge initiatives, including precision health, infectious disease, biotechnology, neuroscience, and digital technology and democracy. The CS Department is a founding member of the Link Lab, a multi-disciplinary research center that brings together five Engineering departments for research on cyber-physical systems, the internet of things, and robotics and autonomous systems. CS faculty lead UVA’s Biocomplexity Institute, a recent winner of an NSF Expedition on Computational Epidemiology. Faculty also have numerous research collaborations across UVA’s highly ranked schools of Engineering, Data Science, Medicine, Nursing, Law, Public Policy, and Arts & Sciences.

CS offers Ph.D. and Masters degrees through the School of Engineering, and offers bachelor’s degrees in both Engineering and the College of Arts & Sciences. CS also collaborates with the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering to jointly administer our Computer Engineering undergraduate and graduate programs.

UVA is a highly selective undergraduate and graduate institution that annually ranks as one of the premiere public universities in the United States, with one of the highest graduation rates in the nation. UVA is situated in Charlottesville, Virginia, a picturesque and vibrant small city consistently recognized as one of the nation’s top places to reside.
