A key deadline is looming for potential candidates interested in joining the Computer Science and Engineering faculty as Assistant Professors. The deadline is January 1, 2016 for "full consideration," although the jobs will remain open until filled, with a final deadline of June 6.
According to current academic recruitment information, "exceptional candidates in all areas will be seriously considered." However, the focus of CSE hiring this year is on candidates who advance research in data sciences (including databases, data mining and machine learning), networking, systems, security, robotics, design and bioinformatics.
The department has particular interest in candidates who have experience and interest in building real experimental artifacts in their research and/or otherwise advance the emerging areas of "design" in interdisciplinary areas across engineering and social sciences. Appointments in the robotics and design areas are jointly with the Department of Cognitive Science, according to CSE/CogSci professor Scott Klemmer (pictured at right).
Candidates with experience or willingness to engage in activities that contribute to diversity and inclusion are especially encouraged to apply. Successful applicants are expected to lead a vigorous research program and will be required to teach university students. A Ph.D. or advancement to candidacy in CSE or related disciplines is required at the time of application.
The CSE Department is committed to building an excellent, diverse, and inclusive faculty, staff and student body. In addition to the highest standards of scholarship, teaching, and professional activity, the preferred candidates for any position will have potential or demonstrated contributions to a climate that supports equity, inclusion, and diversity. CSE is home to over 50 faculty and 500 graduate students who span a range of research areas in computer science, computer engineering and bioinformatics.

Any joint CSE and Cognitive Science appointments in human-computer interaction, design or robotics will also be supplemented via other campus hiring by the CogSci department itself as well as the Design Lab at UC San Diego (notably hiring for a Design Assistant Teaching Professor, who would help establish courses in human-centered design). The full-consideration deadline for the Design Lab position is January 4, 2016.
