The Howard University Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science invites applications for a tenure-track Computer Science Assistant Professor position starting in the fall semester 2022-2023 academic year. To complement the expertise of current faculty, address areas of strong interest to students, and enhance collaboration opportunities with local industries, the department is particularly interested in candidates with specializations in artificial intelligence, data science, software engineering, programming languages (e.g., C/C++, Python, Java), visualization (XR), and human-centered computing. Knowledge in project management, operating systems, computer networks, and databases is an advantage. Strong candidates in multi-
disciplinary or emerging areas of computing are also encouraged to apply.

Howard University, a culturally diverse, comprehensive, research intensive and historically Black private university, provides an educational experience of exceptional quality at the undergraduate, graduate, and professional levels to students of high academic standing and potential, with emphasis on educational opportunities for Black students providing research and advancement to impact Black communities. The search committee is especially interested in candidates who, through their research, teaching, and/or service, will contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community at Howard University. The ideal candidate is expected to teach undergraduate and graduate courses in her/his area of specialization, and courses of a fundamental/core nature, fulfilling all responsibilities related to those courses, and for engaging students from diverse backgrounds in learning. The successful candidate is expected to develop her/his own scholarly research, including mentoring undergraduate and graduate students. Developing an active research program appropriate that leads to high-quality publications, grant applications, and engages students as participants is an expectation of the position. We especially encourage applicants whose goals and professional or life experiences enrich the department and who can serve as a role model to a diverse student population. Candidates are expected to have an excellent command of the English Language and should be familiar with technology infused academic environments. Industrial experience is highly desirable, but not required.
