A global higher education leader in innovative teaching, research and public service, the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill consistently ranks as
one of the nation's top public universities. Known for its beautiful campus, world-class medical care, commitment to the arts and top athletic programs, Carolina is an ideal place to teach, work and learn.


One of the best college towns and best places to live in the United States, Chapel Hill has diverse social, cultural, recreation and professional opportunities that span the campus and community.University employees can choose from a wide range of
professional training opportunities for career growth, skill development and lifelong learning and enjoy
exclusive perks for numerous retail, restaurant and performing arts discounts, savings on local child care centers and special rates on select campus events. UNC-Chapel Hill offers full-time employees a

The Department of Computer Science is one of 16 science departments and curricula in the College of Arts and Sciences. It is a major research department with more than 30 tenured/tenure-track faculty, nine teaching-track faculty, 12 research faculty, and 17 adjunct faculty, serving more than a thousand undergraduate students and hundreds of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Nearly 200 graduate students and eight EHRA non-faculty members assist with teaching and research activities. Additionally, 24 SHRA positions, including technical and administrative personnel, support the department's infrastructure. Our guiding research principle is collaboration, as it has been since the department's founding in 1964. We believe that computer science's greatest impact lies in working with other scientists to solve problems in their respective disciplines. As such, we actively seek opportunities to initiate new research with colleagues across campus, including in the sciences, medicine, and the humanities. Many computer science faculty members hold adjunct or joint appointments in other departments, lead large interdisciplinary research groups, and collaborate with colleagues from other universities across the Research Triangle, the United States, and around the world.

The Computer Science Department at UNC Chapel Hill has openings in all areas of Computer Science at the rank of Assistant Professor, with appointments beginning on or after July 1, 2025. We have a strong presence in key areas such as machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, graphics, augmented and virtual reality, medical imaging, robotics, visualization, real-time systems, embedded and cyber-physical systems, formal verification, mobile computing, security and computer systems, and bioinformatics. We plan to continue expanding in all of these domains and invite applications from individuals working in these or related areas.

Candidates must have a Ph.D. (or foreign equivalent) in computer science, electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a closely related field. They must also demonstrate a strong track record of externally funded research, teaching, student mentoring, and a commitment to diversity and collaboration.
