Tenure Track Assistant Professor of Computer Science
The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Wesleyan University
invites applications for a tenure track assistant professorship in Computer
Science to begin in Fall 2022. Candidates must have a Ph.D. in Computer
Science or a related field in hand by the time of appointment to be hired as
an Assistant Professor; a successful candidate may be hired as an Instructor
if the candidate does not have a Ph.D. in hand at the time of appointment, but
will complete the Ph.D. in Computer Science or a related field within one year
of hire. We encourage candidates in all areas of Computer Science to apply,
including those who deepen or broaden our existing research strengths, and
especially encourage candidates who can contribute to the diversity (broadly
conceived) of the department. Theory, programming languages, algorithms,
network science, networking, and privacy and security are well-represented in
the department.
Duties include conducting an independent program of research, teaching,
advising and mentoring students, and participating in faculty governance at
the departmental and university level. Tenure track faculty in Computer
Science at Wesleyan teach three courses per year. Wesleyan values both
research and teaching highly and has a strong and diverse student body.
Applications must include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, research
statement, and teaching statement. Applicants must also have three letters of
recommendation, at least one of which discusses teaching, submitted by the
recommenders at the AcademicJobsOnline.org website. In the cover letter,
applicants should describe how they will embrace the college's commitment to
fostering an inclusive community, as well as their experience working with
individuals from historically marginalized or underserved groups.
Applications must be submitted online through AcademicJobsOnline.org. We will
begin reviewing applications on Dec. 1, 2021.

The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Wesleyan University invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professorship in mathematics to begin July 1, 2023.
We seek strong candidates whose research interests are in applied mathematics, broadly construed, and which are compatible with the existing research interests of the department. Relevant areas include – but are very much not limited to – applied topology, algebraic statistics and computational algebraic geometry, cryptography and computational number theory, computational combinatorics, discrete and computational geometry, optimization, and stochastic processes. Exceptional candidates in any field compatible with the research interests of the faculty are also encouraged to apply.
Wesleyan University is a leading liberal arts school with approximately 3000 students, located halfway between Boston and New York and also halfway between Hartford and New Haven. The university has graduate programs leading to doctoral and master’s degrees in the sciences and ethnomusicology. The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science awards the Ph.D. degree in Mathematics, and the MA degrees in Mathematics as well as Computer Science. There are 13 mathematicians and 7 computer scientists in the department, not including visitors and postdocs, as well as approximately 17 graduate students. The low student to faculty ratio ensures close contact between faculty and graduate students. Wesleyan values both scholarship and teaching very highly, has a strong, diverse undergraduate student body, and offers a substantial startup package, a generous sabbatical program, and competitive salaries and benefits.
Teaching duties will be two courses in each semester, typically including a graduate-level course. Additional duties include advising and mentoring students, and participating in faculty governance at the departmental and university levels.
