Stevens Institute of Technology, Computer Science
Position Description
Stevens Institute of Technology (Stevens)
invites applications for tenure-track and tenured faculty positions at all
ranks (Assistant, Associate, Full) for its new School of Computing.
In
Fall 2026, Stevens is scheduled to launch its School of Computing (SoC). This
landmark initiative solidifies Stevens’ commitment to exploring the frontiers
of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and advanced computing. The new school will be home to innovative scholars
dedicated to research and teaching in computer science, AI and machine learning
(including explainable, trustworthy, and responsible AI), cybersecurity, cyber-physical systems, embodied intelligence,
formal methods, high-performance computing, scientific computing, human-centered
computing, and quantum computing and communication, among other areas.
The SoC will serve as a dynamic
hub for computing-centric programs, designed with "permeable walls"
to facilitate seamless interdisciplinary collaboration. We believe that the
future of innovation lies at the intersection of computing and other fields;
therefore, a core competency of our faculty is the ability to effectively
integrate computing with other domains.
To support our interdisciplinary mission, the new faculty positions may have either a 100% appointment within the SoC, or a joint appointment between SoC and the other schools across the Stevens campus (the Schaefer School of Engineering and Science, the School of Business, and the School of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences). Strong candidates in all areas of computing will be considered.
Endowed professorships are available for exceptional senior candidates. Endowed career development professorships are also available to exceptional junior and mid-career candidates.
Responsibilities:
Candidates are expected to
demonstrate a commitment to teaching and mentorship at both the undergraduate
and graduate levels. Successful candidates will have the potential to develop
an externally funded research program, supervise graduate students in research,
and contribute to the highly interdisciplinary, collaborative, diverse,
innovative and entrepreneurial culture at Stevens.
Required Education and Experience:
Applicants should have earned
(prior to the start of the position) a Ph.D. in computer science, engineering,
or another computing-adjacent discipline. Candidates applying at the rank of
Associate or Full Professor should have a track record of success in
scholarship, funded research, teaching, mentoring, and cultivating a connected
and inclusive community.
