The Department of Computer Science invites applications for a full-time Assistant Professor faculty position. In this search, we seek tenure-track faculty members in all areas of Computer Science. AI/Machine Learning and Quantum Computing are priority areas for the department this year. However, outstanding candidates in all areas will be considered. We seek faculty eager to build on our existing research collaborations in the Center for Responsible Machine Learning, the Center for Black Studies Research, the Center for Information Technology in Society, the Institute for Energy Efficiency and well beyond, and to help us establish new partnerships and research programs bringing computation and computational tools to problems of societal importance. We seek motivated and passionate researchers eager to work with a community of their peers to address issues of societal importance through surprising and creative applications of computing. The University is especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community through research, teaching and service as appropriate to the position.

The Department of Computer Science at UC Santa Barbara understands that computing intersects society in many complex ways but that by striving to be a place where every student, faculty, and staff can grow and thrive we will position ourselves to best be able to take on these challenges together!
