Assistant Teaching Professor

The Department of Computer Science in the School of Engineering at Tufts University invites applications for multiple full-time teaching-track faculty positions to begin in Spring or Fall 2020. We seek candidates at the rank of Assistant Professor of Teaching.

Candidates may have expertise in any area of computer science or a closely related field including but not limited to Algorithms, Complexity, AI, Analytics, Machine Learning, Databases, Distributed Systems, Computational Biology, Hardware-Software Interfaces, Human-Computer Interaction, Robotics, Mobile Development, Natural Language Processing, Power Management, Programming Languages Security, Software Development, Systems, Visualization, and Web Infrastructure and Design.

These are full-time, non-tenure-track positions. The initial appointment term will be for two years with the possibility of renewal contingent on annual performance review results.

The Department of Computer Science has grown significantly in the past decade in faculty, number of students, and research funding. 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 a Research 1 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 scholarship, and there are numerous such opportunities within the School of Engineering, the School of Arts and Sciences, the Fletcher School of Law & 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 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.
