Tenure-Track Faculty 2024-2025

Johns Hopkins, founded in 1876, is America's first research university and home to nine world-class academic divisions working together as one university.

Description

The Johns Hopkins University’s Department of Computer Science invites applications for tenure-track faculty positions. We anticipate making multiple offers across all areas of Computer Science and at all ranks. We offer an early action application option and support spousal/partner placement.

Early Action. Full consideration will be given to candidates who submit applications by December 1, 2024. However, beginning October 1, 2024, the department may take early action to schedule fall semester interviews and will consider fall offers with typical spring deadlines. We encourage candidates to apply early to take advantage of flexible scheduling and potentially receive an early offer before they proceed to spring interviews. All applications submitted by December 1, 2024, will receive full consideration.

Our search includes two tracks: 1) Data Science and AI, and 2) All other areas of Computer Science. The Data Science and AI track encompasses all related areas (e.g. Natural Language Processing, Computer Vision, Robotics, etc.) and support for the following cross-departmental clusters:

- Foundational methods of Machine Learning, Data Science, and Artificial Intelligence
- Embodied AI Systems
- Health and Medicine
- Scientific Discovery
- Engineered AI systems
- People, Policy, Governance, and Ethics of AI
- Security and Safety of Autonomous Systems

Our search supports the large-scale expansion of the Whiting School of Engineering , which will add 150 new tenure-track professors at all ranks, including 30 Bloomberg Distinguished Professorships and 80 positions that will be part of the new Data Science and Artificial Intelligence Institute . This expansion includes a new building and extensive computational resources that will establish Johns Hopkins as one of the largest and leading engineering schools with a top AI research program. The expansion will grow Computer Science to become one of the largest computer science departments at a US private university.

The department currently has 38 full-time tenure-track faculty members, 7 research and 8 teaching faculty members, 225 Ph.D. students, over 200 MSE/MSSI students, and over 700 undergraduate students. There are several affiliated research centers and institutes including the Center for Computational Biology (CCB) , the Laboratory for Computational Sensing and Robotics (LCSR) , the Center for Language and Speech Processing (CLSP) , the Information Security Institute (ISI) , the Institute for Data Intensive Engineering and Science (IDIES) , the Malone Center for Engineering in Healthcare (MCEH) , the Institute for Assured Autonomy (IAA) , the Mathematical Institute for Data Science (MINDS ), and the SNF Agora Institute .
