Position Description


The Department of Computer Science and Engineering (https://engineering.ucsc.edu/departments/computer-science-and-engineering) at the University of California, Santa Cruz invites applications for a position at the rank of Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor. We seek to hire a candidate with a strong background in computer science and engineering, with a particular focus on green computing. Specifically, we will prioritize candidates who work in green computing infrastructure and system design at all levels of the computing stack. Some exemplar research themes include:

• Modeling, optimizing, reducing carbon for computing (both use and manufacturing)
• Architecture and system design for sustainability
• Energy management and optimization in computing systems
• Programming languages, frameworks, and compilers:
  • for green computing application domains
  • that target novel green computing systems

Priority areas for this search do not include:

• Application development for green computing application domains
• Computational modeling of natural processes (e.g., climate modeling)

We are interested in candidates who support the departments teaching mission, including teaching required and elective classes at both undergraduate and graduate levels, and can collaborate within the department and across the university, including with departments that have an emphasis in sustainability and conservation research.

The Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) is part of the Baskin School of Engineering at UC Santa Cruz. UC Santa Cruz is a member of the Association of American Universities (AAU), an association of the top research universities in the US. Baskin Engineering is home to six departments contributing to the richness of its research in materials, devices and instruments; engineering mathematics; computing; and health engineering. The CSE department has nationally and internationally known researchers in theoretical computer science, programming languages, security, distributed systems, storage systems, computer architectures, machine learning, natural language processing, vision, VLSI, and networking. Nestled in a redwood forest above the city of Santa Cruz and close to Silicon Valley, our beautiful residential campus has a rich history of embracing groundbreaking interdisciplinary work and building deep research ties with the local high-tech industry. Our proximity to Silicon Valley, including a second campus in Santa Clara, affords unique and exciting opportunities for collaboration with industry researchers, as well as with faculty and students at other San Francisco Bay Area universities.

The successful candidate is expected to develop a research program, advise graduate students in their research area, obtain external funding, develop and teach courses within the undergraduate and graduate curriculum, perform university, public and professional service, and interact broadly with industry.

UC Santa Cruz values diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and is committed to hiring faculty who will work to promote these values. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are at the forefront of our path to excellence in Baskin Engineering. The successful candidates must be able to work with students, faculty, and staff from various social and cultural backgrounds, genders, and sexual orientations.

A minority-serving institution (MSI) with a high proportion of first-in-family students, UC Santa Cruz is a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI), a member of the Alliance of Hispanic-Serving Research Universities (HRSU), a member of the Computing Alliance of Hispanic Serving Institutions (CAHSI), an Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institution (AANAPISI), and a member of several leading identity and ethnic affinity professional societies, including the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), the Society for the Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS), the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE), and the Society of Women Engineers (SWE). To be considered, candidates must demonstrate an understanding of the barriers facing women, people of color, and other groups historically underrepresented in engineering, as well as describe their experience and future plans to promote equity and inclusion in teaching, mentoring, and research, and in broadening participation in engineering. Application packages will be considered with a view toward potential as well as achievement. DEI statements will be read and scored as part of a holistic assessment throughout the review process. Efforts supporting equity and inclusion at UC Santa Cruz will be recognized as important during the merit review and promotion process. The selected candidates will receive a start-up package that includes funding in support of furthering diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts.

The chosen candidate will be expected to sign a statement representing that they are not the subject of any ongoing investigation or disciplinary proceeding at their current academic institution or place of employment, nor have they in the past ten years been formally disciplined at any academic institution/place of employment. In the event the candidate cannot make this representation, they will be expected to disclose in writing to the hiring Dean the circumstances surrounding any formal discipline that they have received, as well as any current or ongoing investigation or disciplinary process of which they are the subject. (Note that discipline includes a negotiated settlement agreement to resolve a matter related to substantiated misconduct.)
