Recent faculty hires have received a host of national honors, including NSF CAREER awards, the MIT TR35 award, honorable mentions in ACM dissertation competitions, multiple Google research awards, and best paper designations at top-tier conferences.

The University of Rochester is deeply committed to building a more diverse and representative faculty, and strongly encourages applications from groups underrepresented in computer science and in higher education. We have a vibrant Women in Computing / Minorities in Computing community, and were a charter member of the AnitaB.org BRAID Initiative, which leveraged funding from major industrial sponsors to foster diversity and inclusivity in the undergraduate program and to rigorously evaluate factors that contribute to change. We are actively working to improve the environment for all underrepresented groups. The University of Rochester is a private, Tier I research institution with approximately 6,800 undergraduates and 5,400 graduate students.

Anchoring the Finger Lakes region of western New York State, the greater Rochester area is home to over a million people, and offers unsurpassed quality of life, with a thriving arts scene, outstanding public schools, affordable housing, and a huge range of cultural and recreational opportunities.
