Position Description

Position Summary: 
The Department of Computer Science in the Charles V. Schaefer, Jr. School of Engineering and Science (SES) at Stevens Institute of Technology (Stevens) invites applications for two tenure-track and tenured positions at all ranks (assistant, associate, full). 

This year our priorities are in all aspects of cybersecurity (e.g., systems security, cryptography, privacy, security for AI) and artificial intelligence, which are areas we plan to grow aided by enthusiastic new faculty. Exceptional candidates in other areas may be considered. Endowed chairs are available for exceptional senior candidates. Our junior faculty are supported by formal and informal mentoring on all aspects of academic life, focusing on their success but also with an eye on work-life balance. 

Headquartered in a brand new, 65,000 square foot, state-of-the-art academic building, our department is home to innovative research labs on AI, machine learning, computer vision, big data analytics, programming languages, cryptography, computer security, and software systems. Our researchers are the core of the Stevens Institute for Artificial Intelligence, an interdisciplinary research center at the forefront of AI that brings together over 100 faculty members across the University. 

The department has expanded rapidly in recent years and is the fastest-growing department at Stevens. It is currently home to 37 full-time faculty members, including 20 hired in the last five years, as well as approximately 2,300 motivated undergraduate and graduate students. The number of Ph.D. students has grown by 50% in the last few years; annual research expenditures of the 25 tenure and research track faculty are in the order of $4M, supported by $25.8M in active research awards from sponsors including the NSF, NIH, DARPA, ONR, and NSA. Recent awards include second place in the Alexa Grand Prize SocialBot Challenge in 2023, and first place in the global TCS CodeVita coding challenge in 2021. 

Responsibilities: 
Candidates are expected to demonstrate a commitment to teaching and mentorship at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, including working with students from underrepresented groups.
