Faculty Positions
The School of Interactive Computing (IC) is a part of the Georgia Institute of Technology located in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of five schools within the College of Computing, which is ranked among the ten best Computer Science departments in the nation. The School includes 43 full-time tenure-track Faculty, 6 Faculty with joint appointments, 8 Research Scientists, and 130 PhD students. We work in a wide range of research areas relating to the interface of computing to the world. The School is affiliated with the GVU Center, the Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Machines, the Institute for Information Security and Privacy, the Institute for People and Technology, and the Machine Learning Center.
The School of Interactive Computing (IC) at the Georgia Institute of Technology invites applications for multiple openings at the Assistant Professor level (tenure-track); exceptional candidates at the Associate Professor and Professor level will also be considered. We seek applications in the broader areas of Graphics; Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (including but not limited to Theory, Computer Vision, and Natural Language Processing); Social Computing; Social Justice, Ethics and Fairness; Data Visualization; Sustainability; and Augmented and Virtual Reality. These areas are of strategic importance to the School. We will, however, consider outstanding candidates in all areas that support the school’s mission and expand it in strategic directions. For instance, a number of our faculty are leading or participating in two AI institutes funded by the National Science Foundation — efforts that underscore the College’s and Institute’s goal to expand in AI and related areas in the coming years. Tenure-track professors are expected to teach one course per semester, provide service to the School and the Institute, and are expected to engage in substantive research with collaborators in other disciplines.
Suitable candidates must have an established international reputation and have demonstrated exceptional impact, productivity, and leadership. Candidates are also expected to demonstrate an exceptional commitment to the teaching and mentoring of undergraduate and graduate students, as well as to matters of diversity, equity, and inclusion through their research, teaching, or service activities. Application materials must include a cover letter, research statement, teaching statement, and curriculum vitae, the contact information of at least three references, and three publications. The submission link can be accessed through the Georgia Institute of Technology CAREERS.
Applicants must show evidence of outstanding academic credentials and stellar potential in their field of study, a sincere commitment to teaching, a proclivity to engage in substantive interdisciplinary and collaborative research locally or globally, and an interest in fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive academic community. We ask that applicants clearly indicate their research area(s) and focus in their cover letters. Applicants must have a terminal degree, preferably a Ph.D. in computer science or a related field when they start.
Applications will be evaluated on a rolling basis starting October 1, 2022, and we encourage earlier applications. For full consideration, applications are due by December 1, 2022, though we will continue accepting applications until the positions are filled.
