Tenure Track & Visiting Faculty Positions
(to start August 2001)
The Computer Science Department of WPI expects to hire two tenure track faculty, and up to two visiting professors, beginning August 2001. Candidates should have a Ph.D. in Computer Science or a closely related field, and strength in both research and teaching. We are interested in excellent candidates at all ranks who complement and enhance our existing research in Artificial Intelligence, Databases, Information Systems, Software Engineering, Systems/Networks, Theory/Algorithms, and Visualization/Graphics. Preference will be given to candidates in the areas of Software Engineering and Programming Languages.
The department grants the B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science, and has a Computer and Communications Networks graduate program, jointly with the Electrical and Computer Engineering department.
The department offers a collegial, supportive environment, with mechanisms established to encourage interdisciplinary activities. A combination of low teaching loads, WPI's innovative project-based curriculum, and a growing graduate program, support faculty research and provides a dynamic environment for working with students.
The department is in a strong growth phase, with 19 tenure track faculty, and plans to hire several more over the next few years. The department has a large variety of computing resources, and is committed to providing the most advanced software and hardware environment for both research and teaching.
WPI, the nation's third oldest college of engineering and science, has approximately 2,700 undergraduates and over 1,000 full- and part-time graduate students, with over 220 tenure track faculty. The department currently has over one hundred full-time M.S. and Ph.D. Students. For further information about the university please see the WPI and the Computer Science Department web sites.
