The University of Pennsylvania invites applicants for tenure-track appointments in computer science to start July 1, 2010. Tenured appointments will also be considered.

The Department of Computer and Information Science seeks individuals with exceptional promise for, or a proven record of, research achievement who will excel in teaching undergraduate and graduate courses and take a position of international leadership in defining their field of study.   While exceptional candidates in all areas of core computer science may apply, of particular interest this year are candidates in who are working on the foundations of Market and Social Systems Engineering - the formalization, analysis, optimization, and realization of systems that increasingly integrate engineering, computational, and economic systems and methods. Candidates should have a vision and interest in defining the research and educational frontiers of this rapidly growing field.

The Department of Computer and Information Science has undergone a major expansion, including new faculty positions and a new building, Levine Hall, which was opened in April 2003. Successful applicants will find Penn to be a stimulating environment conducive to professional growth.

The University of Pennsylvania is an Ivy League University located near the center of Philadelphia,  the 5th largest city in the US.  Within walking distance of each other are its Schools of Arts and Sciences, Engineering, Medicine, the Wharton School, the Annenberg School of Communication, Nursing, Law, and Fine Arts. The University campus and the Philadelphia area support a rich diversity of scientific, educational, and cultural opportunities, major technology-driven industries such as pharmaceuticals, finance, and aerospace, as well as attractive urban and suburban residential neighborhoods.  Princeton and New York City are within commuting distance.

Electronic applications are strongly preferred, but hard-copy applications (including the names of at least four references) may alternatively be sent to:
