Stony Brook University’s Department of Computer Science invites applications for a tenure-track/tenured faculty position with an expected starting date of Fall 2022. We seek candidates that will complement and enhance our current strengths in cybersecurity and computer systems, broadly defined. We are also open to interdisciplinary candidates that specialize in cybersecurity/computer systems and another area such as AI/machine learning. Although the position is expected to be filled at the Associate Professor, exceptional candidates at other ranks will be considered. The position includes the title of SUNY Empire Innovation Professor.

Applicants should hold a Ph.D. in Computer Science or a closely related discipline, have outstanding scholarly records and stellar potential in their field of study, and demonstrate a sincere commitment to teaching and mentoring. The department values diversity and seeks candidates who can contribute to a welcoming climate for all students. We strongly encourage applications from women and underrepresented groups.

The Department of Computer Science currently has 56 full-time faculty members and is undergoing a period of rapid growth. The department is housed in a new state-of-the-art 70,000 sq ft building and also occupies parts of other buildings. The department is either home to or has significant partnerships with several interdisciplinary centers on campus with our faculty playing leadership roles. They include the Institute for AI-Driven Discovery and Innovation, National Security Institute (NSI), Center for Visual Computing (CVC), Center of Excellence in Wireless and Information Technology (CEWIT) and Institute of Advanced Computational Science (IACS).
