FACULTY VACANCY ANNOUNCEMENT

Brooklyn College of the City University of New York (CUNY) invites applications for a full-time tenure-track Assistant Professor position in the Department of Computer & Information Science (CIS) with a starting date in August 2026.

The CIS department is the home of approximately 1,000 undergraduate and master students. As a founding member of the Ph.D. consortial program in Computer Science at the CUNY Graduate Center, CIS faculty frequently teach doctoral courses and serve as mentors of doctoral students. The faculty has a strong reputation in theory, algorithms, programming languages, systems and networks, and entrepreneurship. The department encourages strong candidates to apply. Those with an independent research program in artificial intelligence, machine learning, or cyber security and with interests aligned with current priorities for the college such as preparing students for AI literacy, career-connected learning, and serving nontraditional student populations are preferred.

Responsibilities include:

+ Teaching undergraduate, masters, and doctoral courses.

+ Developing and maintaining a funded research agenda.

+ Providing academic and career advising, mentoring, and training for undergraduate, masters, and doctoral students.

+ Participating in college, department, and/or university committees, and various other service commitments (e.g., curriculum development, student outreach).

Brooklyn College serves students from as many as 150 countries who speak over 100 languages and dialects and thus constitutes a vibrant microcosm of the rich diversity and energy that characterizes the borough of Brooklyn and the greater New York City area itself. Its mission features “a special commitment to educate immigrant and first-generation college students from the diverse communities that make up our city and state.” The college ethos is strongly invested in the educational and career success of a population that encompasses a multiplicity of nationalities, ethnicities, religions, cultures and languages. We are committed to fostering a spirit of camaraderie and shared ideals across the entire spectrum of our varied constituency. By accessing a first-class and affordable college education in an inclusive and nurturing intellectual milieu, our students acquire the skills, confidence, and global mindedness that allow them to thrive in a rapidly changing, unpredictable marketplace of ideas that is increasingly mindless of borders and spans the gamut of cultures and vernaculars.

To this end, the college seeks faculty who are eager to engage with the diversity of our student body and have a demonstrated commitment to inclusion and heterogeneity through teaching, research and/or service. We seek to recruit and retain faculty who reflect the mosaic of our student population. Successful candidates will bring their unique creativity, sensitivity, insights and perspectives to a community that welcomes innovation in scholarship and teaching. Together we will model the finest that a public urban liberal arts, sciences, and professional studies college can be for the present and future.
