Faculty Positions

Posted: September 18, 2011

The Computer Science Department at the University of Illinois at Chicago invites applications for tenure-track positions at the rank of Assistant Professor (exceptional candidates at other ranks may also be considered). Candidates in the following areas are especially encouraged to apply: Computer Security, Software Engineering, Machine Learning and Computer Systems (Mobile/Ubiquitous computing and other experimental subareas).

The University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) ranks among the nation’s top 50 universities in federal research funding. It is the largest research university in the Chicago area, and is one of the most diverse universities in the country. The Computer Science department has 27 tenure-track faculty representing major areas of computer science, and offers BS, MS and PhD degrees. Two of our faculty members are ACM Fellows and eight members are recipients of NSF CAREER awards. Our annual research funding has averaged $6.5M over the last five years and includes major funding from NSF, DARPA, DoD and NASA, including two NSF IGERT awards, nine Trustworthy Computing awards and several other research and instrumentation grants; awards from state agencies such as the Illinois Department of Transportation, and from companies such as Google, Yahoo! and Motorola. Our department is home to many pioneering and discipline-defining efforts in the areas of virtual reality (CAVE), software engineering (Petri Nets, Model Checking), Data Management and Mining, and Computational Transportation. We have growing research programs in areas such as computational biology, learning technologies, mobile and distributed systems, and security and privacy. At UIC, there are plenty of opportunities for interdisciplinary work—UIC houses the largest medical school in the country, and our faculty are engaged with several cross-departmental collaborations with faculty from health sciences, social sciences and humanities, urban planning and the business school.

Chicago is the third most populous city in the USA. Located by the shore of lake Michigan, the city offers an outstanding array of cultural and culinary experiences. As the birthplace of the modern skyscraper, Chicago boasts one of the world's tallest and densest skylines, combined with an extensive system of parks and public transit. Its primary airport is the second busiest in the world, with frequent non-stop flights to virtually anywhere. Yet the cost of living, whether in an 85th floor condominium downtown or on a tree-lined street in one of the nation's finest school districts, is surprisingly low.
