Tenure Track Robotic Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Description
The Johns Hopkins University's Department of Computer Science invites applications for tenure-track faculty positions. We anticipate making multiple offers across multiple hiring tracks at all ranks. We offer an early action application option and support spousal/partner placement.
Early Action. Full consideration will be given to candidates who submit applications by December 1, 2025. However, beginning October 15, 2025, the department may take early action to schedule fall semester interviews and will consider fall offers with typical spring deadlines. We encourage candidates to apply early to take advantage of flexible scheduling and potentially receive an early offer before they proceed to spring interviews. All applications submitted by December 1, 2025, will receive full consideration.
Our search includes multiple tracks: 1) Machine Learning Systems; 2) AI Policy; 3) AI for Science; 4) All other areas of Data Science and AI, which encompasses all related areas (e.g. Natural Language Processing, Computer Vision, Robotics, etc.), and support for the following cross-departmental clusters:

• Foundational Methods of Machine Learning, Data Science, and Artificial Intelligence
• Interactive and Embodied AI
• Health and Medicine
• Scientific Discovery
• AI for the development of Engineered Systems
• People, Policy, Governance, and Ethics of AI
• Security and Safety of Autonomous Systems

Our search supports the large-scale expansion of the Whiting School of Engineering, which builds on our 22 tenure track faculty hires in AI last year to add to a total of 150 new tenure-track professors at all ranks, including 30 Bloomberg Distinguished Professorships and 80 faculty positions that will be part of the new Data Science and Artificial Intelligence Institute. This expansion includes new buildings and extensive computational resources that will establish Johns Hopkins as one of the largest and leading engineering schools with a top AI research program. The expansion will grow Computer Science to become one of the largest computer science departments at a US private university.
The department currently has 45 full-time tenure-track faculty members, 7 research and 11 teaching faculty members, 225 Ph.D. students, over 200 MSE/MSSI students, and over 700 undergraduate students. There are several affiliated research centers and institutes including the Center for Computational Biology (CCB), the Laboratory for Computational Sensing and Robotics (LCSR), the Center for Language and Speech Processing (CLSP), the Information Security Institute (ISI), the Institute for Data Intensive Engineering and Science (IDIES), the Malone Center for Engineering in Healthcare (MCEH), the Institute for Assured Autonomy (IAA), the Mathematical Institute for Data Science (MINDS), and the SNF Agora Institute.

Vaccine Requirements
Johns Hopkins University strongly encourages, but no longer requires, at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. This change does not apply to the School of Medicine (SOM). SOM hires must be fully vaccinated with an FDA COVID-19 vaccination and provide proof of vaccination status. We still require all faculty, staff, and students to receive the seasonal flu vaccine.
Exceptions to the seasonal flu vaccine or COVID-19 vaccine (for SOM) requirement(s) may be provided to individuals with sincerely held religious beliefs or medical conditions that preclude them from receiving the vaccine. Requests for an exception must be submitted to the JHU vaccination registry. For additional information, applicants for SOM positions should visit https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/coronavirus/covid-19-vaccine/ and all other JHU applicants should visit https://covidinfo.jhu.edu/health-safety/covid-vaccination-information/.
The following additional vaccine requirements may apply, depending upon your campus. Please contact the hiring department for more information.
The pre-employment physical for positions in clinical areas, laboratories, working with research subjects, or involving community contact requires documentation of immune status against Rubella (German measles), Rubeola (Measles), Mumps, Varicella (chickenpox), Hepatitis B and documentation of having received the Tdap (Tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis) vaccination. This may include documentation of having two (2) MMR vaccines; two (2) Varicella vaccines; or antibody status to these diseases from laboratory testing. Blood tests for immunities to these diseases are ordinarily included in the pre-employment physical exam except for those candidates who provide results of blood tests or immunization documentation from their own health care providers. Any vaccinations required for these diseases will be given at no cost in our Occupational Health office.
