The Department of Computer and Information Sciences at the University of
Delaware invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor
position in computer science theory. Theory is broadly construed to include
the theory of computation, algorithms, complexity, quantum computing,
logic, verification, formal methods, programming languages, or any area of
computer science with a strong theoretical component. Applicants should
hold a Ph.D. or equivalent degree in relevant areas. We encourage all
ambitious, innovative individuals, who have demonstrated excellence in
research and drive to become leaders in their fields while engaging in
high-quality teaching and mentoring, to apply.
The Department is vibrant and growing, currently with 31 tenure-track, 11
teaching, and 2 research faculty members, and about 230 graduate students
(including ~130 Ph.D. students) and 580 undergraduate students. 58% of the
tenure-track faculty are NSF CAREER awardees. We have significant external
funding, including grants from the NSF, NIH, DOE, DARPA, Air Force, Army,
Navy, and industry. New faculty will have ample opportunities to
collaborate with current faculty on ongoing projects in software
verification, scientific computing, algorithms, quantum computing,
artificial intelligence, security, and networks, among other subjects.
The 7th oldest institution of higher education in the United States, the
University of Delaware (with 18,000+ undergraduate and 3,000+ full-time
graduate students) ranks among the nation's top 100 universities in federal
R&D support for science and engineering, and among the top 50 schools of
engineering nationwide. The University has a vibrant ecosystem of research
centers and institutes. Computer science faculty are leaders in the Data
Science Institute and the First State AI Institute, creating rich
opportunities for collaboration within the State of Delaware and beyond.
The 272-acre STAR (Science, Technology and Advanced Research) campus offers
even more opportunities for research, academic, and commercial development.
The University of Delaware is a Land-Grant, Sea-Grant, and Space-Grant
institution, and its beautiful 100-acre central campus is located halfway
between Washington, DC and New York City, and about one hour away from
Baltimore and Philadelphia. More information about the Department and the
University is available at www.cis.udel.edu and www.udel.edu/about/,
respectively.
Review of applications will begin January 31, 2026, and will continue until
the position is filled.
