Position Description:

Barnard seeks to hire two tenure-track assistant professors in Computer Science for the academic year beginning July 1, 2025.

Barnard is a premier liberal arts undergraduate college for women in New York City affiliated with Columbia University. There are many opportunities to collaborate with faculty in the larger research community at Barnard College and Columbia. Barnard’s Computer Science (CS) Department works closely with the Vagelos Computational Science Center, with the Columbia CS Department, and with other Barnard faculty. The goals of the department are to enhance the experience of Barnard CS majors through activities that develop community, provide academic support, and connect to CS-related opportunities outside the classroom; to serve all Barnard students by expanding the use of computation and data analysis across disciplines, through both curricular offerings and other programming such as workshops or support for computational labs associated with courses in other departments; and to build visibility for Barnard CS nationally, through research, curricular and pedagogical advances in CS and its multidisciplinary applications, and new models for engaging students and enhancing diversity in computing.

Barnard faculty are expected to engage in teaching, research, curriculum and program development, undergraduate advising, and mentoring of undergraduate research. There is opportunity to collaborate with faculty and students at both Barnard and at Columbia. The position is open to all areas of computer science as well as to multidisciplinary scholars with a significant computational focus. We encourage candidates who take a multidisciplinary approach, whether across multiple subareas of computer science, or with research connections to another discipline. Successful hires will further the aims and vision of the CS department and will embody strategic strengths for this growing program. Candidates must have a PhD in Computer Science or a related discipline, and should have a promising research agenda and record of scholarship, as well as a demonstrated commitment to undergraduate teaching, mentoring, and increasing diversity in computer science.
