The University of New Mexico
Department of Computer Science
The Department of Computer Science invites applications for one probationary appointment leading to a tenure decision at the Assistant Professor level. We seek applicants from across computer science, including but not limited to large scale data systems, networks, software design and engineering, graphics and visualization, and AI and adaptive systems. We are a strongly interdisciplinary department and are particularly interested in applicants pushing the boundaries of computer science with other fields.
The Department of Computer Science is committed to excellence in both undergraduate and graduate education offering a CAC ABET accredited BS degree program, as well as MS and PhD programs. With about 140 undergraduate and 120 graduate students, we support both a strong core of computer science and interdisciplinary education through programs such as the Program in Interdisciplinary Biological & Biomedical Science (PIBBS) and the Interdisciplinary Film and Digital Media (IFDM) collaboration.
