"Tenure-Track Faculty 2025-2026"

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

Salary: $205,000 - $500,000

Description

The Johns Hopkins University’s Department of Computer Science invites applications for tenure-track faculty positions. We anticipate making multiple offers across multiple hiring tracks 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, 2025. However, beginning October 15, 2025, 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, 2025, will receive full consideration.

Our search includes multiple tracks: 1) Machine Learning Systems; 2) AI Policy; 3) AI for Science; 4) All other areas of Data Science and AI, which 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
• Interactive and Embodied AI
• Health and Medicine
• Scientific Discovery
• AI for the development of Engineered 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 builds on our 22 tenure track faculty hires in AI last year to add to a total of 150 new tenure-track professors at all ranks, including 30 Bloomberg Distinguished Professorships and 80 faculty positions that will be part of the new Data Science and Artificial Intelligence Institute. This expansion includes new buildings 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 45 full-time tenure-track faculty members, 7 research and 11 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.

Qualifications

The department is conducting a broad and inclusive search and is committed to identifying candidates who, through their research, teaching, and service, will contribute to the excellence of the academic community. We welcome candidates who are poised to address grand challenges in computer science, can work across disciplines to solve societal challenges.

We offer dual career programs that support spousal/partner placement within the department, university, and the broader Baltimore/Washington area.

Application Instructions

Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, a research statement, a teaching statement, and (optionally) three recent publications. Junior (assistant) candidates should submit three to five letters of reference. Senior (associate/full) candidates should submit a list of references.

Applications must be made online at https://apply.interfolio.com/174372. While candidates who complete their applications by December 1, 2025 will receive full consideration, the department may consider applications submitted after that date.
