Assistant Professor- Software Engineering

The Department of Software Engineering in the Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences at RIT seeks a tenure-track assistant professor, beginning August 2025, with research in the fields of software engineering, data science, or artificial intelligence. Successful applicants are expected to contribute to the scholarship of the department and college through externally funded research and through teaching and mentoring of BS, MS, and PhD students. While excellent candidates in any of the three fields will be considered, our preferences are on those with research expertise falling in AI/data science for software engineering or software engineering for AI/data science.

RIT is committed to being a student-centered research university. As part of that commitment, assistant professors will be offered a low teaching load, a mid-tenure review in the third year, with tenure review during year six, after which the teaching load will be adjusted according to the intensity of the research load. RIT is also positioned to provide excellent competitive startup funding for PhD students, equipment, and travel in support of building an outstanding research program. The university provides support for gaining external funding, including several internal seed funding opportunities.
