Faculty Positions
North Carolina State University
Department of Computer Science
The Department of Computer Science at NC State University (NCSU) seeks to fill multiple tenure track faculty positions starting August 16, 2010. Successful candidates must have a strong commitment to academic and research excellence, and an outstanding research record commensurate with the expectations of a major research university. Required credentials include a doctorate in Computer Science or a related field. While the department expects to hire faculty primarily at the Assistant Professor level, candidates with exceptional research records are encouraged to apply for senior positions.
Exceptional candidates in all areas of Computer Science will be considered, but of particular interest are candidates specializing in Computer Games and in Software Engineering. New Games faculty will play an active role in the Digital Games Research Center. New Software Engineering faculty will play an active role in the Center for Open Software Engineering and in the Secure Open Systems Initiative.
The Department is one of the largest and oldest in the country. It is placed in the NCSU’s College of Engineering, which has recently received significant increases in private and public funding, faculty positions, and facilities that will assist the Department in attaining its goals. The department’s research expenditures and recognitions are growing steadily. For example, we have one of the largest concentrations of the prestigious NSF Early Career Award winners (18 total).
NCSU is located in Raleigh, capital of North Carolina, which forms one vertex of the world-famous Research Triangle Park (RTP). RTP is an innovative environment, both as a metropolitan area with one of the most diverse industrial bases in the world, and as a center of excellence promoting technology and science. The Research Triangle area is routinely recognized in nationwide surveys as one of the best places to live in the U.S. We enjoy outstanding public schools, affordable housing, and great weather, all in the proximity of the mountains and the seashore.
Applications will be reviewed as they are received. The positions will remain open until suitable candidates are identified. Applicants will receive consideration starting December 15, 2008.
