Located in the heart of vibrant Chicago, the UIC CS department anticipates
hiring multiple tenure track faculty at all ranks starting from Fall 2024
(with preference for candidates at the Assistant and Associate Professor
ranks). Candidates from all areas of computer science who could complement
and enhance current departmental strengths are invited to apply.
Augmented/Virtual
Reality, Computational Biology, Computer Graphics, Computer Vision,
Computer Systems, Cryptography, Databases, Languages and Compilers,
Robotics, Software Engineering, and related areas are of particular
interest. Candidates should have a PhD in Computer Science, Computer
Engineering, or closely related fields, and the potential for excellence in
teaching and research.

Applications must be submitted at https://jobs.uic.edu/, and must include a
1-page cover letter, curriculum vitae, teaching, research and diversity
statements, and names and addresses of at least three references. Links to
a professional website such as Google Scholar or ResearchGate are
recommended. Applicants may contact the faculty search committee at

by December 15, 2023 for fullest consideration. Applications will be
accepted until the positions are filled.

Computational biology applicants are expected to work in areas related to
biology, such as proteins, genomics, networks, cancer, and drug discovery,
using computational methods such as machine learning and statistical
modeling, and should describe how their work relates to existing activities
at the Center for Bioinformatics and Quantitative Biology (CBQB) in their
application materials.

The Department of Computer Science at UIC has 44 tenure-system faculty, 4
research faculty, and 24 clinical/teaching faculty. The department is
committed to building a diverse faculty preeminent in its missions of
research, teaching, and service to the community. Candidates who have
experience engaging with a diverse range of faculty, staff, and students,
and contributing to a climate of inclusivity are encouraged to discuss
their perspectives on these subjects in their application materials.

Construction of a new building housing the UIC Computer Science department
is under way; the building is expected to open in 2024. The building will
include 80 faculty offices, graduate student offices, 16,000 square feet of
classroom space, and many collaborative learning and teaching spaces.

UIC is a major public research university (Carnegie R1) with about 2,600
faculty and 33,500 students. UIC is committed to increasing access to

supporting the success of dual-career couples.

Chicago epitomizes the modern, livable, vibrant, and diverse city.
World-class amenities like the lakefront, arts and culture venues,
festivals, and two international airports make Chicago a singularly
enjoyable place to live. Yet the cost of living, whether in an 88th floor
condominium downtown or on a tree-lined street in one of the nation’s
finest school districts, is remarkably affordable.

Duties: Teach, Conduct Research, Mentor Students

Qualifications: PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or closely
Related Field and the Potential for Excellence in Teaching and Research.
