The Department of Computer Science at Brown University invites applications for multiple faculty positions starting on September 1, 2012. The search is open to all ranks with a preference for junior applicants. All areas of Computer Science will be considered with preference given to those candidates who best meet the teaching and research needs of the department. All applicants should have a demonstrated potential for excellence in research and teaching.

The department has 24 tenured and tenure-track faculty members as well as several adjunct, research, and visiting faculty members.
