The Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of California, Riverside invites applications for multiple tenured or tenure-track faculty positions. Specifically, the department seeks applications for an open rank Professor of Teaching in Computer Science.

The Computer Science and Engineering Department currently has over 40 faculty members, including multiple ACM/IEEE/AAAS Fellows and Young Investigator/NSF CAREER award holders, who pride themselves in combining top-quality teaching with cutting-edge research. The research projects in the department are funded by federal (NSF, NIH, DoD) or industrial sponsors, with the new awards to the department for 2022/23 exceeding 22 million dollars. The department offers several undergraduate degrees, as well as MS and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science, with 200 Ph.D. students currently enrolled. Information regarding the department is available at http://www.cs.ucr.edu.

The Marlan and Rosemary Bourns College of Engineering is a well-established, rapidly growing college at UCR. Ranked in the top 50 best public research universities for engineering by U.S. News & World Report, BCOE has over 140 faculty members, more than 3,700 undergraduate students, 1,100 graduate students, and more than $44 million in total annual research expenditures. The college has five departments, 11 undergraduate degree programs, 10 graduate degree programs, and 11 research centers.

Successful candidates will have a proven record of, or exceptional promise for developing a portfolio of high-quality teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and in developing a vibrant externally-funded research program. UC Teaching Faculty are expected to engage in scholarly activities and teach a regular course load at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and participate in service activities at the department, college, campus, and professional levels. Candidates should also demonstrate clear potential for complementing and/or synergistically leveraging existing activities within the department, college, and campus.

Appointments are expected to begin on July 1, 2025. Salary will be commensurate with education and experience. Candidates must have met the requirements for the Ph.D. by the time of appointment.
