Open Rank Tenure-Track Faculty Positions in Computer Science and Engineering
The Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) in the P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science at Lehigh University invites applications for tenure-track faculty at the ranks of assistant professor, associate professor, or full professor to start August 2023. Tenure on appointment is possible for senior candidates. Outstanding candidates in all areas of computer science are encouraged to apply. Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in Computer Science or a closely related field prior to the official start of employment.
Faculty who join the department will be expected to develop strong research programs, contribute to our educational mission, augment or complement our existing strengths, and collaborate effectively with colleagues. In addition, they must also be committed to the enhancement of a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment in which world-class faculty, staff, and students can thrive to their full potential. We particularly encourage applications from members of groups underrepresented in computing.
The CSE Department (http://www.cse.lehigh.edu/) currently has 20 tenured and tenure-track professors and 9 instructional faculty, with strengths in systems, robotics, human-centered computing, data science and AI. CSE faculty include fellows of the ACM, IEEE, and NAI, and several NSF CAREER award winners. There are abundant opportunities for candidates to collaborate with faculty in ongoing research projects including those associated with Lehigh’s interdisciplinary research institutes, such as the Institute for Data, Intelligent Systems, and Computation (https://idisc.lehigh.edu/). The department plans to build strength in the areas of System, Computer Vision, and Human Centric Computing.
The Department offers Ph.D. and M.S. degrees in Computer Science. All of our B.S. programs are fully accredited, including the unique B.S. in Computer Science and Business program which is accredited both in computer science and in business. Our undergraduate, Masters, and Ph.D. programs are vibrant and growing, supporting approximately 500 students. The Department is housed in a recently renovated building on the Lehigh Mountaintop Campus, with beautiful views of the surrounding area. The building includes several high-bays, one of which is configured to house the Robotics Lab.
Founded in 1865, Lehigh University has combined outstanding academic and learning opportunities with leadership in fostering innovative research. Recognized among the nation's highly ranked research universities, Lehigh offers a rigorous academic community for over 7,000 students and about 550 full-time faculty members.
