Tenure Track Faculty Positions
(starting January and August 2002)
*** The department has hired four new faculty members (May 2002) ***
Do you want the combination of a research university teaching load with a liberal-arts college environment? Do you like engaging undergraduates together with graduates in long-term, open-ended projects? Would you enjoy doing interdisciplinary research, experiencing the interplay between technology and society, and helping students apply their technical skills in global settings?
If so, you should consider joining the faculty at WPI!
WPI's acclaimed and long-standing project-based undergraduate curriculum and a significant graduate program offer its faculty a unique balance between research and teaching.
The Computer Science Department expects to hire several tenure-track faculty to start in January or August 2002. Candidates should have a Ph.D. in Computer Science or a closely related field, and the potential for excellence in research and teaching.
Two of the positions are targeted for applicants in the areas of Software Engineering, Databases and Computer Graphics/Vision. The other positions are open to excellent candidates in all areas. We will consider applicants at any rank for all positions.
The department currently has 16 tenure-track faculty and enjoys an exceptionally close-knit, collegial atmosphere. The department grants 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. Our undergraduate degree program was started in 1970, one year after our M.S. program, while the Ph.D. was established in 1983. Faculty research is funded by federal agencies (such as NSF and DARPA) and industrial collaborators.
We plan a large increase in faculty size over the coming years. The department currently is the largest at WPI in terms of student body, with more than 500 majors and over 100 full-time M.S. and Ph.D. Students.
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. For further information about the university see the WPI and the Computer Science Department web sites (http://www.wpi.edu/ and http://www.cs.wpi.edu/). The WPI campus is situated in the heart of Worcester, close to the city's major cultural attractions, including the American Antiquarian Society, the Worcester Art Museum and several major music performance venues.
Worcester, the third-largest city in New England, is forty miles west of Boston. The city offers access to the diverse cultural and recreational resources of a major city.
