About The Position

The Department of Computer Science in the Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences at RIT invites applications for an Assistant or Associate Professor position, beginning August 2026, in all areas of artificial intelligence. Successful applicants are expected to contribute to the scholarship of the department and college through externally funded research and through teaching and mentoring of BS, MS, and PhD students. RIT is committed to being a student-centered research university. As part of that commitment, faculty active in research are provided with a low teaching load. Assistant professors are offered pre-tenure teaching release time to establish their research program. Traditionally, a mid-tenure review occurs in the third year, with tenure review during year six, after which the teaching load will be adjusted according to the intensity of the research load. RIT is also positioned to provide excellent competitive startup funding for PhD students, equipment, and travel in support of building an outstanding research program. The university provides support for gaining external funding, including several internal seed funding opportunities. We are seeking an individual who has the ability and interest in contributing to a community committed to student centeredness; professional development and scholarship; integrity and ethics; respect, and pluralism; innovation and flexibility; and teamwork and collaboration.
