Faculty Positions
North Carolina State University
Department of Computer Science
The Department of Computer Science at NC State University (NCSU) seeks to fill multiple tenure track faculty positions starting August 16, 2008. Exceptional candidates in all areas of Computer Science (CS) will be considered, but of particular interest are candidates specializing in Computer Gaming, Security, and Software Engineering. All candidates should have a strong commitment to academic and research excellence commensurate with the expectations of a major research university. These credentials include a doctorate in CS or a related field. While the department expects to hire faculty predominantly at the Assistant Professor level, candidates with exceptional research records are encouraged to apply for senior level positions.
The department has recently moved into a new building on the NC State University Centennial Campus (http://centennial.ncsu.edu) locating it at the hub of a dynamic and integrated network of university and industry research organizations, many of which are associated with companies in the nearby Research Triangle Park. The Department is in a period of growth. It currently has over 40 tenured/tenure-track faculty and almost 1100 students, approximately 500 of which are graduate students. Its research is sponsored by a number of agencies and industries, and its research expenditures are growing steadily. The department created two strategic centers in 2007, the Digital Games Research Center and the Center for Open Software Engineering. We have one of the largest numbers of winners of the prestigious NSF Early Career Award (16 total). We are the only U.S. department ever to win the IEEE Computer Society International Design Competition (third place in 2003 and first place in both 2005 and 2006). We also are one of the oldest Computer Science degree programs in the United States, and will celebrate our 40th anniversary in 2007. The department is in NCSU’s College of Engineering, which has recently received significant increases in private and public funding, faculty positions, and facilities that will assist the Department in attaining its goals.

The Research Triangle area is routinely recognized in nationwide surveys as one of the best places to live in the U.S. We enjoy excellent health care options, outstanding public schools, affordable housing, and great weather, all in proximity to the mountains and the seashore.
