About the role
Stanford University’s Department of Computer Science invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the junior level (Assistant or untenured Associate Professor). We welcome researchers across theoretical foundations, systems, software, and applications, including interdisciplinary work with engineering, mathematics, medicine, and the social sciences.
Review begins December 1, 2026; applications accepted through January 4, 2027. Applicants must have or be completing a Ph.D.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
