Successful candidates will lead strong research programs, contribute to our educational mission, collaborate effectively with colleagues, and contribute to reducing systemic bias in the field of computing. Applicants should have a strong record of research and scholarship, as well as a clear commitment to students and learning. Successful candidates must also be committed to the enhancement of a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment in which world-class faculty, staff, and students can excel. We particularly encourage applications from members of groups underrepresented in computing.
