Assistant Professor position in Computer Science (CS+X)

Northwestern University continues its ambitious initiative to grow and transform Computer Science (CS). The Computer Science department is in the midst of adding twenty new tenure-track faculty in core Computer Science and collaboratively with other disciplines (CS + X), as well as a number of non-tenure-track teaching faculty. We seek outstanding candidates who are excited by the opportunity to help build the future of CS at a world-class university. Northwestern is a leading R1 university comprising a number of highly ranking schools that provide extraordinary opportunities for collaboration across a wide range of disciplines. Located in beautiful Evanston, on the shores of lake Michigan, just outside the diverse and culturally vibrant city of Chicago, Northwestern faculty have ample opportunities to connect with the city's growing technology sector. We invite candidates to apply for new CS + X faculty positions at the Assistant Professor level. These positions will be joint between Computer Science (which is within the McCormick School of Engineering) and other schools or departments at Northwestern, for individuals and teams exploring new research boundaries in computation. We are interested in applications from outstanding candidates broadly across computer science. We are especially interested in researchers who can bridge computer science and the Feinberg School of Medicine. In the last few years, we have hired jointly with Preventive Medicine, Statistics, Learning Sciences, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Mechanical Engineering, Economics, Communication Studies, Journalism, and the Segal Design Institute, and we remain committed to interdisciplinary research leveraging Northwestern's unique strengths and world-class schools in many areas. Priority in all areas will be given to applicants with path-breaking research interests that have the potential to transform both Computer Science and other disciplines.
