Two Tenure-Track Faculty Positions in Computer Science

The Computer Science Program at the College of the Holy Cross invites applications for two full-time tenure-track Assistant Professor positions to begin in August 2026. All research specialties will be considered. Priority will be given to candidates whose research expertise and teaching interests are in computer systems, consider ethical or social issues in computing and technology, or any other area that complements the research expertise of the current computer science faculty. Candidates whose research area considers ethical or social issues in computing and technology will be considered for the Barrett Assistant Professorship in Computer Science.

This position carries a 3-2 teaching load with a research leave prior to tenure review of either a full year at 80% salary or a semester at full salary, and generous sabbatical and fellowship leaves for tenured faculty. To enable a smooth transition to Holy Cross, new full-time tenure-track Assistant Professors receive start-up funding to support their research and professional development and have a one-course reduction in their first year of teaching (i.e., 2-2). This position offers full benefits and a starting salary in the range of $122,250 to $124,650. Faculty at the College cultivate a richly diverse academic community, pursue innovative teaching, and create high-impact scholarship.

Qualifications

Candidates must demonstrate excellence in scholarship and undergraduate teaching as well as a commitment to inclusive pedagogies. A Ph.D. in computer science or closely related field is required by the beginning of the appointment.

Application Instructions

Please submit a cover letter addressing the position requirements listed above as well as the ways you might contribute to and further the College's mission as a Jesuit, undergraduate liberal arts college and its core commitment to creating a community where every individual feels empowered to contribute their talents and perspectives, a current curriculum vitae, unofficial undergraduate and graduate transcripts, a statement of your teaching philosophy and interests, a statement on research, and three confidential letters of recommendation.
