Tenure-Track Faculty Positions in Computer Science
Location: Blacksburg, Virginia

The Department of Computer Science at Virginia Tech seeks applications for multiple tenure-track assistant professor positions in computer science. Special consideration will be given to candidates in the areas of artificial intelligence, machine learning, natural language processing, and human-computer interaction.  These positions are located at Virginia Tech's main campus in Blacksburg, VA, in an area consistently ranked among the country's best places to live. In addition, our program in the Washington, D.C. area offers unique proximity to government and industry partners and is also expanding rapidly, with Virginia Tech's exciting new Institute for Advanced Computing (IAC) <https://iac.vt.edu/>, based in Alexandria, having launched in Spring 2025. Candidates for faculty positions at the IAC in Alexandria are encouraged to apply to separate announcements for those opportunities.


Professor in Human-Computer Interaction
Location: Alexandria, Virginia

The Virginia Tech Institute for Advanced Computing (IAC) and the Department of Computer Science invite applications for a faculty position at the rank of Professor or Associate Professor in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and related areas. Virginia Tech was founded in 1872 as a land-grant institution and has been long recognized for its tradition of innovation and public service. The IAC is a significant aspect of Virginia Tech's strategic vision for the future of technology and is located in the university’s new 11-story Academic Building One in the greater Washington, D.C. area. The successful candidate will serve as core faculty in the IAC, with a tenure home in the Department of Computer Science.

Launched in May 2025, the IAC is a rapidly growing initiative and a cornerstone of Virginia Tech’s strategic expansion in the D.C. region. It currently includes 19 award-winning faculty members and over 500 graduate students, with plans to grow to 50 faculty and 1,500 students. The IAC supports interdisciplinary research in AI/ML, Quantum Computing, Wireless Technologies, Computer Systems, and HCI, and fosters a collegial environment with a strong tradition of both foundational and applied research, collaboration, and innovative teaching.

We seek a visionary leader to shape the future of human-centered computing at Virginia Tech and beyond. The successful candidate will have opportunities to collaborate with the Center for Human-Computer Interaction (CHCI)—one of the nation’s first HCI research centers, comprising nearly 80 faculty who regularly publish at leading venues such as CHI, CSCW, UIST, and IEEE VR. Collaborations are encouraged across Virginia Tech’s Alexandria and Blacksburg campuses, including with the Institute for Creativity, Arts, and Technology (ICAT) and the Sanghani Center for AI and Data Analytics, as well as with partners in industry, government, and non-profit sectors.
