Department Faculty and Staff Positions

Continuing Status-Track Position

The Computer Science Department at Brigham Young University  is not accepting applications for a continuing status track professorial faculty position for the upcoming 2008/09 academic year.  However, we expect to be offering positions in future years.

Future professorial applicants must have a Ph.D. in Computer Science or a related field and should have a strong research orientation and scholarly abilities together with strong teaching ability. Outstanding candidates in all areas of computer science are encouraged to apply. Current areas of research in our Ph.D. and M.S. can be found at: Computer Science Research. Professorial candidates are expected to develop a research program and advise M.S. and Ph.D. students in that area. Candidates are also expected to be able to teach effectively in both graduate and undergraduate environments.  BYU is an EEO employer with preference for LDS candidates. 

If you feel you will be a strong candidate in future years, then please send a vita and summary of interest to recruiting@cs.byu.edu.  We can then add you to our list of potential future candidates.

Temporary Positions

Often we have teaching positions available which range from one course for one semester up to full-time for one year. Applicants should have a Masters or Ph.D. degree in Computer Science or a related field or significant industrial experience.

Qualified candidates are needed to teach the undergraduate programming courses as well as more advanced classes in the curriculum. 

Applicants should email or send a curriculum vita/resume and statement of intent to recruiting@cs.byu.edu.  BYU is an EEO employer with preference for LDS candidates. 

Future Needs

We feel strongly that the key to our future is the quality of faculty we hire. We are building a list of potential faculty candidates who could become part of the Department as openings become available in the future. We would like to make this need known to as many potential faculty members as possible. Many people do not realize the dramatic changes in the department over the last ten years. We have had a PhD program since 1986 and are performing substantive research in many areas.

You could really help out by letting us know of any possible candidates (including a way to get hold of them) who could combine solid research and teaching to improve our department. This includes people (including yourself) who have

  • A solid background in academic or industrial research
  • Have recently received the PhD in Computer Science or a related field or
  • Are currently in a PhD program.
We are just as interested in people who, though not currently in a position to consider BYU, might be in the next few years. We are putting together a list of current and future candidates so that we can stay in touch and monitor their interest. Please send E-mail to recruiting@cs.byu.edu with any questions or information you have. Thank you.
