Two Tenure-Track Assistant Professorships in Computer Science

The Department of Computing Sciences at Bocconi University invites applications for two Tenure Track Assistant Professor positions. 

The new department of Computing Sciences, created three years ago and in a phase of rapid expansion, is an interdisciplinary department with leading international researchers in various fields including theoretical computer science, machine learning theory, statistical physics modeling, natural language processing, computational neuroscience, as well as biomedical applications. In terms of teaching, the department has recently opened a bachelor in AI, a master in AI, and is strongly involved in the PhD program in Statistics and Computer Science. It has a strong core in theory and applied CS, and aims at broadening its portfolio, in particular towards applications of machine learning not yet currently represented. We are looking for outstanding candidates, curious and open to collaborations with colleagues from other fields. Priority will be given to candidates with expertise in computer vision and/or high performance computing as well as to all candidates whose hiring would increase the diversity of the faculty in the department.

Qualifications: 

Applicants should have a Ph.D. in Computer Science or closely related areas, and should demonstrate the capacity for exceptional research achievement and the ability to teach effectively in undergraduate, masters, MBA and PhD programs. Experienced candidates should have an established track record of successful research and teaching.  

Job information: 

The successful candidates will be expected to develop a strong publication record, broadly contribute to the academic life of the department and be effective teachers both at the undergraduate and graduate level. 

Compensation and teaching load will be competitive with other top European Schools. The contract will last for 6 years, with the possibility of becoming permanent after a successful tenure process.
