Associate Professor

The Department of Computer Science (CS) and the Lee J. Styslinger Jr. College of Engineering at The University of Alabama invite applications for multiple tenure-track faculty positions at all ranks for candidates with research interests across all domains relevant to computer science. Candidates with research in Artificial Intelligence with a focus on Software Engineering are of particular interest.

The Department of Computer Science (CS: https://cs.ua.edu/) and the Lee J. Styslinger Jr. College of Engineering (SCoE: https://eng.ua.edu/) at The University of Alabama (UA: https://ua.edu/) invite applications for multiple tenure-track and tenured faculty positions at all ranks, including Assistant, Associate, and Full Professor levels, within the CS department. This posting is specific for candidates applying for a position at the rank of Associate Professor.

Applications from candidates with appropriate experience and a strong record of scholarly productivity and impact who would seek appointment at the rank of Assistant or Full Professor should apply through related postings advertised at those other position/rank levels. Candidates with prestigious achievements in their field and exceptional national and international reputations will be eligible for consideration for significant endowment support through appointment as an Endowed Shelby Distinguished Associate Professor (https://provost.ua.edu/the-shelby-endowment-for-distinguished-faculty/).

These Endowed Shelby Distinguished Associate Professor positions are one of the most prestigious honors bestowed upon faculty at The University of Alabama. Candidates wishing to be considered for such an appointment should indicate this in their cover letter. Towards achieving excellence in all our efforts, the CS department and the Styslinger College of Engineering seek to hire faculty that can contribute to both: (1) build upon existing strengths in the Department, College, and University and (2) expand the scope of research within the department, College, and UA as a whole.

Candidates with research interests across ALL domains relevant to computer sciences are encouraged to apply. Candidates with research in Quantum Information Systems, High-Performance Computing, and AI are of particular interest. There are numerous exciting developments around the department, the College, and the campus that provide outstanding support to the department’s faculty. The University has demonstrated strong institutional support for computing research, as highlighted by the recent appointments of distinguished professors in this and related areas as the inaugural Endowed Shelby Distinguished Professor.

The University has an ongoing project to build the next-generation High Performance Computing (HPC) and Data Center on campus and will provide the infrastructure and instrumentation to support cutting-edge computational research for many years to come. The CS department and College consider teaching, research, and service as the three critical and complimentary portions of their overall mission. Candidates must demonstrate a clear potential to successfully develop, lead, mentor, and extramurally fund a highly productive research group with significant scholarly impact in a focus area with long-term potential to further build upon the rapid rise and great success of the CS department and the College.

An ability to collaborate with existing faculty in the key focus areas both within the CS department and the College, as well as potential colleagues across the campus, is also highly desirable. The department, college and university are also notable…
