Assistant Professor, School of Computing

Job Description

Stevens Institute of Technology (Stevens) invites applications for tenure-track and tenured faculty positions at all ranks (Assistant, Associate, Full) for its new School of Computing.

In Fall 2026, Stevens is scheduled to launch its School of Computing (SoC). This landmark initiative solidifies Stevens' commitment to exploring the frontiers of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and advanced computing. The new school will be home to innovative scholars dedicated to research and teaching in computer science, AI and machine learning (including explainable, trustworthy, and responsible AI), cybersecurity, cyber-physical systems, embodied intelligence, formal methods, high-performance computing, scientific computing, human-centered computing, and quantum computing and communication, among other areas.

The SoC will serve as a dynamic hub for computing-centric programs, designed with "permeable walls" to facilitate seamless interdisciplinary collaboration. We believe that the future of innovation lies at the intersection of computing and other fields; therefore, a core competency of our faculty is the ability to effectively integrate computing with other domains.

To support our interdisciplinary mission, the new faculty positions may have either a 100% appointment within the SoC, or a joint appointment between SoC and the other schools across the Stevens campus (the Schaefer School of Engineering and Science, the School of Business, and the School of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences). Strong candidates in all areas of computing will be considered.

Endowed professorships are available for exceptional senior candidates. Endowed career development professorships are also available to exceptional junior and mid-career candidates.

Responsibilities:

Candidates are expected to demonstrate a commitment to teaching and mentorship at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Successful candidates will have the potential to develop an externally funded research program, supervise graduate students in research, and contribute to the highly interdisciplinary, collaborative, diverse, innovative and entrepreneurial culture at Stevens.

Required Education and Experience:

Applicants should have earned (prior to the start of the position) a Ph.D. in computer science, engineering, or another computing-adjacent discipline. Candidates applying at the rank of Associate or Full Professor should have a track record of success in scholarship, funded research, teaching, mentoring, and cultivating a connected and inclusive community.

Submission Guidelines:

Applications will be accepted until the positions are filled. Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the positions are filled. All applications must be submitted electronically at https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/stevens. To apply, please submit the following items:

• Cover Letter
• Curriculum Vitae
• Research Statement
• Teaching Statement that includes a) teaching interests, b) teaching philosophy, and c) a plan on how to create an inclusive environment for students of all backgrounds in terms of classroom teaching, student advising, and graduate student mentoring.
