Professor of Computer Engineering, Tenured​/Tenure-Track

Overview

The Division of Engineering at New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) invites applications for an open-rank (Assistant, Associate, or Full), tenured, or tenure-track faculty position in the Computer Engineering program. We seek candidates with a research focus on the theoretical foundations and practical applications of advanced machine learning techniques. Emphasis will be given to theoretical approaches in machine learning for real-world applications, with a preferred focus on optimization, data-efficient machine learning, approximate inference, statistical machine learning, continual learning, distributed machine learning, and the security and privacy aspects of machine learning.

These areas have applications in various fields, such as healthcare, finance, transportation, education, and entertainment.

• Establish an independent and externally funded research program with emphasis on the theoretical foundations and practical applications of advanced machine learning techniques (with preferred focus areas including optimization, data-efficient machine learning, approximate inference, statistical machine learning, continual learning, distributed machine learning, and security/privacy in machine learning).
• Contribute to teaching in core and advanced Computer Engineering courses, including Operating Systems, Data Structures, Algorithms, Optimization, Machine Learning, Reinforcement Learning, Computer Vision, and Pattern Recognition.
• Contribute to curriculum development and participate in service activities within the department and university.
