The Johns Hopkins University's Department of Computer Science invites applications for tenure-track faculty positions. We anticipate making multiple offers across all areas of Computer Science and at all ranks. We offer an early action application option and support spousal/partner placement.
Early Action. Full consideration will be given to candidates who submit applications by December 1, 2024. However, beginning October 1, 2024, the department may take early action to schedule fall semester interviews and will consider fall offers with typical spring deadlines. We encourage candidates to apply early to take advantage of flexible scheduling and potentially receive an early offer before they proceed to spring interviews. All applications submitted by December 1, 2024, will receive full consideration.
Our search includes two tracks: 1) Data Science and AI, and 2) All other areas of Computer Science. The Data Science and AI track encompasses all related areas (e.g. Natural Language Processing, Computer Vision, Robotics, etc.) and support for the following cross-departmental clusters:
- Foundational methods of Machine Learning, Data Science, and Artificial Intelligence - Embodied AI Systems - Health and Medicine - Scientific Discovery - Engineered AI systems - People, Policy, Governance, and Ethics of AI - Security and Safety of Autonomous Systems
Our search supports the large-scale expansion of the Whiting School of Engineering, which will add 150 new tenure-track professors at all ranks, including 30 Bloomberg Distinguished Professorships and 80 positions that will be part of the new Data Science and Artificial Intelligence Institute. This expansion includes a new building and extensive computational resources that will establish Johns Hopkins as one of the largest and leading engineering schools with a top AI research program. The expansion will grow Computer Science to become one of the largest computer science departments at a US private university.
The department is conducting a broad and inclusive search and is committed to identifying candidates who, through their research, teaching, and service, will contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community. We welcome candidates who are poised to address grand challenges in computer science, can work across disciplines to solve societal challenges, and support JHU's leading role in increasing undergraduate diversity across elite universities. More information on diversity and inclusion in the department is available at https://www.cs.jhu.edu/diversity/.
We offer dual career programs that support spousal/partner placement within the department, university, and the broader Baltimore/Washington area.
Application Instructions

The referenced salary range is based on Johns Hopkins University's good faith belief at the time of posting. The actual compensation offered to the selected candidate may vary and will be based on factors including, but not limited to, the experience and qualifications of the selected candidate - e.g., years in rank, training, field, discipline, other work experience, and other similar factors; geographic location; internal equity; external market conditions; and other factors as reasonably determined by the University.
Johns Hopkins University remains committed to its founding principle, that education for all students should be grounded in exploration and discovery. Hopkins students are challenged not just to learn but also to advance learning itself. Critical thinking, problem solving, creativity, and entrepreneurship are all encouraged and nourished in this unique educational environment. After more than 130 years, Johns Hopkins remains a world leader in both teaching and research. Faculty members and their research colleagues at the university's Applied Physics Laboratory have each year since 1979 won Johns Hopkins more federal research and development funding than any other university. The university has nine academic divisions and campuses throughout the Baltimore-Washington area. The Krieger School of Arts and Sciences, the Whiting School of Engineering, the School of Education and the Carey Business School are based at the Homewood campus in northern Baltimore. The schools of Medicine, Public Health, and Nursing share a campus in east Baltimore with The Johns Hopkins Hospital. The Peabody Institute, a leading professional school of music, is located on Mount Vernon Place in downtown Bal...timore. The Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies is located in Washington's Dupont Circle area.
