[Job] Johns Hopkins Department of Computer Science: Multiple Tenured / Tenure-Track Positions
Michael Dinitz
The Department of Computer Science at Johns Hopkins University is searching for faculty across all ranks and all areas. See below for information on early action, which will consider applications early to support a more flexible hiring season.
Our growth is part of the recently announced massive expansion of the Whiting School of Engineering. We will hire 150 new tenure-track faculty in the next 5 years (including 80 in AI), making us one of the largest private engineering schools in the United States. As part of this plan, the Department of Computer Science will substantially grow in size.
While we are particularly interested in AI (understood broadly), we are truly open to all areas of Computer Science, including areas in which we already have significant representation as well as areas in which the department has not historically had a presence.
We particularly welcome applications from groups that have been historically underrepresented in Computer Science as we aim to build a truly diverse academic culture.

Full Details
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 will also offer an Early Action application option.
This year’s search begins a large-scale expansion of the Whiting School of Engineering, with the goal of adding 150 new tenure-track professors at all ranks, of which 80 will be part of the new Artificial Intelligence Institute. This expansion will include a new building and extensive computational resources that will establish Johns Hopkins as a leading engineering school with a top AI research program. The new Institute will pursue broad applications of AI for the betterment of society, including in health, scientific discovery, autonomy, climate, and sustainability, in addition to research on the fundamentals and foundations of AI. As part of this expansion, the Department of Computer Science will experience substantial growth across all research areas to become one of the largest departments at a private University.
The Department currently has 35 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 JHU Information Security Institute (JHU 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 diversity and excellence of the academic community. We welcome candidates who are poised to address grand challenges within Computer Science, can work across disciplines to solve societal challenges, and support JHU's leading role in increasing undergraduate diversity across elite universities. More information on diversity and inclusion in the department is available at https://www.cs.jhu.edu/diversity/.
Application Instructions
Early Action. Full consideration will be given to candidates who submit applications by December 1, 2023. However, the department may take early action on candidates starting October 1, scheduling some interviews for the Fall semester to better accommodate schedules during the busy hiring season. We encourage applicants to apply as soon as they are ready in order to take advantage of the scheduling flexibility that this offers, but we emphasize that all applications submitted by December 1, 2023, will receive full consideration.
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 http://apply.interfolio.com/131527. While candidates who complete their applications by December 1, 2023 will receive full consideration, the department may consider applications submitted after that date. Furthermore, the department may take early action on applications starting October 1. Questions may be directed to fsear...@cs.jhu.edu.
