Assistant Professor / Associate / Full Professor (Fall 2023) | Tufts University - Military Veterans

The Department of Computer Science at Tufts University invites applications for multiple tenure-track faculty positions to begin September 2023, as follows. Theoretical Computer Science: The department seeks candidates for Assistant or Associate Professor of Computer Science who conduct research advancing the design and analysis of algorithms, computational complexity, and/or the rigorous experimental study and application of algorithms to other areas within and outside computer science. Candidates in all areas of theoretical computer science are encouraged to apply, particularly those who can connect to and build on the department?s and/or university?s strengths in related areas. Any Area with Leadership Potential: The department seeks candidates for the Ada Lovelace Professorship of Computer Science, at any rank. Candidates for this professorship must demonstrate strong leadership potential and may be in any area of computing. Mid-career, new or established Associate Professors or recently promoted Full Professors are preferred. The Lovelace Professorship title is for a five-year term, after which the candidate will continue as a faculty member at the same rank. Exceptional candidates not matching either the Theory or the Lovelace position descriptions will also be considered. Women, African American/Black, Hispanic/Latinx, and Native American/Alaskan Native candidates are welcome and strongly encouraged to apply. The department especially values candidates who have an interest in civic engagement, social impact, and the betterment of society. Tufts Computer Science has grown significantly in the past decade in terms of faculty count, number of students, and research funding. Last year, the department moved into the brand-new Joyce Cummings Center, which is also the home of Math, Economics, the Data Intensive Studies Center, and the Derby Entrepreneurship Center. The department benefits from outstanding undergraduate and graduate students, collaborative faculty, and cross-disciplinary research opportunities. Tufts University is one of the smallest universities ranked as an R1 university, so it offers the best of a liberal arts college atmosphere coupled with the intellectual and technological resources of a major research university. Tufts University supports and encourages a culture of interdisciplinary research, and there are numerous such opportunities across the School of Engineering, the School of Arts and Sciences, the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, the School of Medicine, and our other graduate and professional schools. Located only six miles from historic downtown Boston, faculty members on the Tufts Medford/Somerville campus have extensive opportunities for academic and industrial collaboration as well as participation in the rich intellectual life of the area. The new Medford/Tufts MBTA stop on the Green Line is slated to open in late 2022, and is located immediately adjacent to the Joyce Cummings Center. The Tufts School of Engineering is in the midst of a period of exciting growth that has seen the recruitment of outstanding new faculty, a quadrupling of funded research over the last ten years, the addition of new buildings and laboratory space, an emphasis on building diversity in engineering, and major curricular initiatives at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Applicants must hold a doctorate by the beginning of the appointment, must have an active research program, must show promise of continued outstanding research activity, and must exhibit a strong commitment to excellence in teaching. Please submit your application online through Interfolio at https://apply.interfolio.com/112019 . We request the following: (a) a cover letter explaining your interest in Tufts and in this position; (b) your curriculum vitae; (c) a statement describing your current and planned research; (d) a statement of your teaching philosophy; (e) a sample of your scholarly work; and (f) three to five confidential reference letters.
