Appointment-Stream Faculty Positions As the University of Pittsburgh's newest school, the School of Computing and Information (SCI) is a growing interdisciplinary community of faculty, staff and students who are accustomed to progressing through change, thinking beyond boundaries and innovating new approaches to lead our institution and nation to positive change. Since 2017, SCI has hired more than twenty-five faculty members, and we are continuing our growth with multiple faculty openings this year.

The University of Pittsburgh is building a culturally diverse faculty and strongly encourages applications from women and minority candidates. SCI is fostering an equitable and inclusive community with our scholarship, education and faculty development initiatives, including policies to promote a healthy work-life balance; programs to meet the needs of two career couples; and a commitment to recruit, retain and develop a diverse faculty. Candidates whose research, teaching and service contribute to the academic diversity of our campus and who have demonstrated commitment to working with students from diverse backgrounds are encouraged to apply.

SCI's interdisciplinary research and education includes computer science, information science and library and information science with rich connections to partners in health sciences, medicine, engineering, social sciences, humanities, business and other areas.

About the Department of Computer Science The Department of Computer Science (CS) (www.cs.pitt.edu) is one of the oldest CS departments in the country. It is one of the three departments in the School of Computing and Information. We are located in Pittsburgh, PA, frequently voted as one of the most livable cities in the U.S., with a vibrant education, technology, culture and sports environment. The Pittsburgh "story" is one of resilience and adaptation, which made the city known for its "eds and meds" (education and medical institutions) on the national and international stage. Our department is a community that includes 22 full-time tenure-stream faculty, nine appointment-stream faculty, more than 100 graduate students, more than 900 pre-CS/CS majors and thousands of alumni. The department places a high priority on diversity, social justice and inclusive excellence in research and teaching. The department currently features nine faculty members with Artificial Intelligence (AI) as one of their primary research areas, working on a diverse portfolio of federally funded projects, with collaborations spanning multiple other disciplines in addition to computer science, such as medicine, information science, law, psychology, political science, learning sciences, engineering, etc.
