The Department of Computer Science in the College of Arts and Science at
American University invites applications for two full-time, tenure-line
positions beginning August 1, 2020. One of the
positions is at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor. The other
position is at the rank of Associate or Full Professor. Applicants should
have a PhD or an anticipated PhD completion by
August 2020 in the field of Computer Science. Depending on qualifications,
the appointee to this position may be recommended for tenure at the time of
hiring. We are looking for candidates who are strongly committed to
excellence in scholarly research,
are effective teachers, and are excited at the prospect of joining a
growing department where they will be able to make their mark and join a
friendly, collegiate and highly accomplished team. Preference will be given
to candidates with a record of high-quality scholarship. The committee will
consider candidates in all areas of research with emphases on individuals
engaged in large scale projects that make use of high performance computing
tools and on individuals engaged in cybersecurity projects. Other areas of
research of interest to the department include Natural Language Processing,
Deep Learning, Database Management, and Networking. Excellent candidates in
other research areas, especially with domains of applications compatible
with those active at American University, will also be considered as we
strongly welcome researchers who ignore traditional disciplinary
boundaries. In addition to scholarship and teaching, responsibilities will
