Tenure-track Faculty Positions in the Department of Computer Science at NJIT
=============================================================================
The Computer Science Department at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT)
invites applications for tenure-track faculty positions starting in Fall 2021.
Areas of special interest are:
• Cybersecurity
• Data Science, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence
• Programming Languages and Software Engineering
Exceptional candidates in other areas will also be considered. While we are
interested in hiring at the rank of Assistant Professor, exceptional candidates
at higher ranks will also be considered. Senior candidates in the area of Data
Science, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence will be expected to play
a leadership role as the Associate Director of the new NJIT Institute for Data
Science, whose Director is Distinguished Professor David Bader.
Applicants must have a Ph.D. degree by Summer 2021 in a relevant discipline,
and outstanding academic credentials that demonstrate their ability to conduct
independent world-class research and attract external funding. The successful
candidate is also expected to show a commitment to both undergraduate and
graduate education.
NJIT is designated a Carnegie R1 Research University, with $161M research
expenditures in FY19. The Computer Science Department is ranked 77 nationally
(by CSRankings) and has 33 tenured/tenure track faculty, with seven NSF CAREER
awards and one DARPA Young Investigator award. The department conducts research
to solve real-world grand challenges in computer and data science such as
FinTech, Health, and Cybersecurity and plays a key role in the NJIT Institute
for Data Science and the NJIT Cybersecurity Research Center. The department has
strong connections with local industry and works closely with many companies
through student Capstone projects, internships, co-ops and joint R&D projects.
The Computer Science Department enrolls approximately 1,800 students at all
levels across nine programs of study and participates alongside NJIT’s
Informatics Department in the Ying Wu College of Computing (YWCC). The College
comprises 28% of the NJIT enrollment, educating more than 3,000 students in
computing disciplines, and graduating close to 800 computing professionals
every year. As such, it is the largest generator of computing talent in the
tri-state (NY, NJ, CT) area.
The Computer Science Department is housed in a state-of-the art facility
renovated in 2018. The department resides within the Ying Wu College of
Computing, which is undergoing significant growth as a priority area for NJIT.
This growth is an integral part of NJIT’s five-year strategic plan, which calls
for consolidating NJIT as a world-class institution of higher education and
research. Applied research, collaboration with industry, innovation and
entrepreneurship are encouraged and supported. Performance and tenure
expectations are aligned with those of the broader academic computing
community, with an emphasis on grant funding and publishing in top conferences
and journals.
NJIT is located in Newark's University Heights, a vibrant sprawling downtown
campus close to Rutgers-Newark, New Jersey Innovation Institute, Essex
Community College, New Jersey Medical School, University Hospital, and Rutgers
School of Dental Medicine. NJIT is just a 30-minute train ride from New York
City and its burgeoning Silicon Alley tech sector. NJIT has recently expanded
its graduate Data Science programs to Jersey City, just across the Hudson River
from the financial district of Lower Manhattan in New York City, where it
serves the many working professionals in that region.
