Tenure-Track Barrett Assistant Professor of Computer Science Faculty Position Description The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at the College of the Holy Cross invites applications for the Barrett Assistant Professor of Computer Science, a full-time tenure-track position to begin in August 2025. Applicants should demonstrate an interest and expertise in the ethical, legal, and moral dimensions of computing and technology, and conduct research or teaching in related areas such as: data privacy and data ethics; alignment and algorithmic fairness; information, speech, and policy; technology ethics; design/engineering of ethical technologies; technologies and methods related to misinformation, disinformation, trust, and authenticity; algorithmic bias and accountability; or equitable computing. This position carries a 3-2 teaching load with a research leave prior to tenure review of either a full year at 80% salary or a semester at full salary, and generous sabbatical and fellowship leaves for tenured faculty. To enable a smooth transition to Holy Cross, new full-time tenure-track Assistant Professors receive start-up funding to support their research and professional development and have a one-course reduction in their first year of teaching (i.e., 2-2).
