Multiple Areas of Computing - Assistant Professor Positions
The Kahlert School of Computing at the University of Utah seeks applications for tenure-track/tenured faculty at the assistant professor rank to fill one or more available positions. The Kahlert School of Computing is a highly collaborative and collegial community of researchers that values and supports faculty engaged in cross-area and interdisciplinary research. This year, we are prioritizing the following computing areas to support new research and curriculum in artificial intelligence and its applications, human-centered AI, robotics, AI education, neurotechnology, brain-computer interface, and AI-facilitated software engineering. Outstanding applicants in other areas of computing are also invited to apply.

The University of Utah is a Carnegie Research I Institution, and the Kahlert School of Computing is an exciting, growing school with a 60-year history of excellence in computing education, innovation, and broad areas of research. As the computing landscape evolves, the Kahlert School supports continuous curriculum enhancement among its faculty. The current faculty of 70 is comprised of 56 tenure-track, 2 research, and 12 lecturing faculty. Additional information about the School and current faculty can be found at https://www.cs.utah.edu.

The University of Utah's Kahlert School of Computing is committed to recruiting, welcoming, and supporting a broad community of undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral candidates, research scientists, staff, and faculty. To demonstrate this commitment, we have created the Utah Center for Broadening Participation in Computing to welcome students from all backgrounds in the undergraduate majors (see https://ucic.cs.utah.edu). To build a representative faculty, we strongly encourage applications from populations underrepresented in computing, as well as candidates with nontraditional backgrounds. The Kahlert School is also committed to addressing lifestyle priorities and will work with candidates to develop opportunities for partners and family members.
