The Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University has multiple open faculty positions at all ranks (Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, Full Professor), beginning academic year 2025-26 or 2026-27. The tenure home for the positions will reside in the Khoury College of Computer Sciences, with a potential joint appointment in another Northeastern College, to be determined in consultation with the successful candidates. Academic rank at the Associate Professor and Full Professor levels will be commensurate with experience and qualifications reflecting a record of demonstrated teaching and scholarly excellence.

This hiring cycle will focus on Artificial Intelligence (AI). Candidates will be considered across all sub-areas of AI, with an emphasis on the following:

Resilient and Trustworthy AI: Areas of interest include AI solutions to build scalable and secure systems, robust networking and IoT infrastructure, and enhance security and privacy.

Foundations of AI:  Areas of interest include machine learning, LLMs and SLMs, natural language processing, computer vision, theory, and transparent and explainable AI models.

Human-Centered AI:  Areas of interest include sensing and extended reality, HCI, human-in-the-loop AI, AI for robotics and other embodied applications, information ethics, visual analytics, responsible AI, and digital civics.

Use-Inspired AI: Research that propels future AI systems and experiences through deep domain investigations in Engineering, Health Sciences and Science (e.g. AI solutions for climate and sustainability, drug discovery, healthcare, materials and manufacturing, network engineering, and transportation). Candidates can express an interest in a joint appointment with one of the Colleges of Engineering, Health Sciences, or Science.

We are especially seeking applications from outstanding senior and mid-career faculty candidates with established research records; exceptional early-career researchers will also be considered.

We will begin reviewing applications as soon as they are received, starting November 15, 2024, and continuing through the academic year until the search is completed.

Note that the job application form will ask candidates to upload all documents in My Experience, and then individually under Application Question 3. We will deduplicate and review all documents uploaded, regardless of which question they are uploaded to. If you have any questions during the job application process, please do not hesitate to email khoury-hiring@northeastern.edu.

Faculty members at Northeastern are expected to develop independent research programs that attract external funding; teach courses at the graduate and undergraduate level; supervise students and postdocs in their area of research; and participate in service to the department, university, and discipline. Candidates interested in conducting high-impact research programs and committed to teaching excellence are encouraged to apply. Senior candidates must have a distinguished track record in research and an established history of grant support or industry research, with the potential for strong leadership in their research field.

Candidates must hold a PhD in Computer Science or a related field from an accredited institution by their appointment start date. We encourage applicants from a wide range of backgrounds, including academia and industry.
