Computer Science Employment

The Department of Computer Science at the University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science seeks applications for the following positions.

Open Rank Tenured or Tenure Track Faculty

The Department of Computer Science at the University of Virginia seeks 7 tenured or tenure-track faculty at all ranks and in all areas of computer science. We are seeking a comprehensive expansion of the department to strengthen and build bridges across our research priorities in Theory, Software Engineering and Programming Languages (including Compilers), Security and Privacy, Human-Computer Interaction, Cyber-Physical Systems and the Internet of Things, Computer Systems and Engineering (including Distributed Systems, High-Performance Computing, Networks, Operating Systems),  and Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (including Computer Vision), as well as building bridges between these topic areas and other areas of Computer Science.

The CS Department’s strategic plan also includes an expansion of our Computer Engineering program. At the University of Virginia, this is jointly administered by the Department of Computer Science and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE). We are therefore coordinating our faculty searches. Joint administration facilitates close collaboration between the two departments, and students in Computer Engineering may be advised by faculty in either department.  The departments are also founding members of the Link Lab, a multi-disciplinary center for research on Cyber-Physical Systems, the Internet of Things, and autonomous devices. We are especially interested in candidates who have the potential to collaborate with colleagues in both departments.

The primary responsibilities for these positions include research, teaching, and service to the department and the community at large. The appointment rank will be commensurate with experience and qualifications. Candidates must have received a doctorate or equivalent in a computing field by the start of their appointment. A commitment to high-impact scholarship, funded research, undergraduate- and graduate-level teaching and advising excellence, and professional service is essential, as is evidence of a commitment to fostering inclusive practices that create climates in which all stakeholders can achieve their maximum potential. UVA is proud to have a strong culture of collaboration and collegiality and is committed to providing the kind of collaborative, diverse environment necessary to solve the next generation of research challenges.

If your interests lie in the Computer Engineering topic areas, please also consider reading the Electrical and Computer Engineering posting to determine whether it might be appropriate for you to respond to one or both postings.

Candidates should submit the following required documents:

  • Cover letter that summarizes your areas of research/scholarship, and areas of potential collaboration at the University of Virginia. To help us organize our review of applications, please also specifically list your primary areas of research in boldface at the top of your letter using the areas named above or similar.
  • Curriculum vitae
  • A single file that includes your Research, Teaching, and Inclusivity Statements
  • A single file that includes two research papers that best represent your work
  • Names and contact information for at least 3 references listed in order of priority for us to contact. The search committee may contact some or all the references to request letters. 

Please note that multiple documents can be uploaded in the link referenced above.

Review of applications will begin on December 1, 2022, and will continue until the positions are filled.  The University will perform background checks on all new faculty hires prior to making a final offer of employment.
