Multiple tenure track faculty positions
In response to the State of North Carolina’s initiative to “engineer a smart and secure future”, the College of Computing and Informatics (CCI) at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte is seeking applications for 6 full-time tenure-track positions. Exceptionally qualified candidates could be considered for tenured positions.
Successful candidates will bring computer science expertise to contribute to one or more of the areas of artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, cloud computing, and human-centered computing. They will also have the opportunity to apply their expertise to one or more of the engineering thematic foci of the research clusters; energy systems, transportation and advanced mobility, digital manufacturing, and smart sustainable cities. We invite diverse candidates across all these areas to apply.
As these positions are part of a larger $40+ million investment by the State of North Carolina and the University, successful candidates will also benefit from collaborative opportunities arising from a parallel cluster hire (6 positions) in the College of Engineering. This large initiative also encompasses the design and construction of state-of-the-art facilities, acquisition of advanced equipment, and growth of several University undergraduate and graduate programs.
Applicants must hold a Ph.D. degree in computer science or another closely related field and have a background aligning with one of the listed research foci. In addition, they must demonstrate significant accomplishments or outstanding potential in scholarship, teaching, and research, corresponding to the rank of appointment. Successful candidates are expected to: 1) develop and sustain nationally and internationally recognized, externally funded research programs as evidenced by high-quality publications and successful mentoring of students; 2) contribute to teaching and curriculum development at both the graduate and undergraduate levels; and 3) contribute to student well-being initiatives at the University, and engagement inside and outside the University.
These positions will remain open until filled. The review of applications will start Feb 1, 2023.
Please review the expanded information in the posting and submit applications accordingly. Applications must be made electronically at https://jobs.charlotte.edu/postings/47278 and must include a cover letter, CV, and contact information for at least three referees.
