University of Richmond

The University of Richmond Department of Computer Science invites applications for a full-time tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor to begin in August, 2025.

A Ph.D. in computer science is required for this position, and it must be completed by the start date. We welcome applicants from a variety of fields within computer science. The successful applicant is expected to commit to highly effective teaching at all levels of the curriculum and to maintain a productive research program that engages undergraduates in meaningful research outcomes while strengthening the inclusive environment to make computer science accessible to students from all backgrounds.

The University of Richmond is a private university located just a short drive from downtown Richmond, Virginia. Through its five schools and wide array of campus programming, the University combines the best qualities of a small liberal arts college and a large university. With approximately 4,000 students, an 8:1 student-faculty ratio, and more than 90% of traditional undergraduate students living on campus, the University is remarkably student-centered, focused on preparing students "to live lives of purpose, thoughtful inquiry, and responsible leadership in a global and pluralistic society."

The University of Richmond is committed to developing a diverse workforce and student body, and to modeling an inclusive campus community which values the expression of difference in ways that promote excellence in teaching, learning, personal development, and institutional success. Our academic community strongly encourages applications that are in keeping with this commitment. For more information on the department and its programs, please see https://cs.richmond.edu/.
