The Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position. We seek outstanding applicants who have demonstrated research and teaching expertise in computer science and engineering: we are particularly interested in candidates with expertise in the areas of systems and network security, database and storage security, language-based security, offensive security, applied cryptography, and other areas related to computer security. 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, and perform university, public, and professional service. The successful candidate must be able to work with students, faculty and staff from a wide range of social and cultural backgrounds.

We welcome candidates who understand the barriers facing women and minorities who are underrepresented in higher education careers (as evidenced by life experiences and educational background), and who have experience in equity and diversity with respect to teaching, mentoring, research, life experiences, or service towards building an equitable and diverse scholarly environment.

The Baskin School of Engineering has nationally and internationally known researchers and research groups in many areas, including programming languages, security, distributed systems, networking, data management, storage systems, machine learning, data mining, natural language processing, and AI.

The UC Santa Cruz campus is located approximately 75 miles from San Francisco and 35 miles from the heart of Silicon Valley. The campus comprises two thousand acres of forested hills overlooking the Pacific Ocean and Monterey Bay with one of the most visually spectacular settings in higher education. In 2016-17, the Times Higher Education ranked UC Santa Cruz 4th in research influence.

The UCSC Silicon Valley Campus is located in the heart of Silicon Valley near San Jose, the worldwide epicenter for industry and innovation in games and information technology. The location affords extensive consulting opportunities and avenues for collaborative research with industry. Opened in 2016, the UCSC Silicon Valley Campus features contemporary interior design with multiple classrooms, computer labs, and project rooms, along with an event center and television studio.
