Assistant/Associate/Full Professor of Computer Science

The Department of Computer Science is the fastest growing and largest department within the College of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder). The department is home to 50 tenured and tenure-track faculty plus 25 instructional faculty, and now includes about 2000 undergraduate and 500 graduate students. We have a reputation for foundational and applied research in CS&E. In addition to departments, CU Boulder has many institutes that conduct research involving CS&E, in addition to area labs such as NCAR, NREL, NOAA, and NIST. CU Boulder is currently home to a PSAAP Multidisciplinary Simulation Center and has extensive connections with Sandia and Los Alamos National Labs as well as other DOE labs.

CU Boulder is among the most research-active public universities in the country, and the College of Engineering and Applied Science is the second largest school or college on the CU Boulder campus. We are committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and academically excellent community. Our college recently updated its strategic vision to include three core foci: (i) Research & Innovation, (ii) Education, and (iii) Inclusion. We assert that a diverse faculty is necessary for achieving these goals and implementing our campus diversity plan. We believe that our college’s success requires faculty who actively work to create an inclusive culture within the college.
