Tenure Track Faculty Positions in Computer Science

The University of Massachusetts Amherst invites applications for tenure-track faculty positions at the assistant professor level. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Computer Science or related area and should show evidence of exceptional research promise. Candidates with an established record of strong research may also apply for positions other than at the assistant professor level. We particularly welcome candidates who would thrive in a highly collaborative environment in which projects often span several research groups. The department is committed to the development of a diverse faculty and student body, and is very supportive of junior faculty, providing both formal and informal mentoring. We have a strong record of NSF CAREER awards and other early research funding. Strong applicants from all areas of Computer Science will be considered, especially theoretical computer science, vision, computational biology, software engineering and programming languages. One to three positions are expected.

The Department of Computer Science has 43 tenure and research track faculty and 180 Ph.D. students with broad interdisciplinary research interests. The department offers first-class research facilities. Please see http://www.cs.umass.edu for more information.
