The College of Sciences at San Diego State University announces a tenure-track position in COMPUTATIONAL SCIENCE at the assistant professor level with the appointment beginning Fall 2023.  The Computational Science Research Center (CSRC), which involves faculty across multiple departments and colleges, offers a standalone M.S. degree as well as a joint Ph.D. program with the University of California, Irvine. This program, one of only a handful of its kind in the nation, has strong connections to academia, industry, and national labs, and has an excellent track record in extramural funding, research, and student success. 

The Computational Science program trains students to apply leading-edge computational methods to research problems in domain science, and we expect the research programs of applicants to reflect this emphasis.  We are particularly interested in applicants with strengths in high-performance computing, in particular the run-up to exascale computing. We are also interested in applicants with strengths in science-informed machine learning and/or multiscale modeling.

The successful candidate will be appointed as a faculty member, for purposes of tenure and promotion, in one of the departments in the College of Sciences, including Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry and Biochemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics and Statistics, and Physics. The successful candidate will split 50/50 teaching and service with their home department and the CSRC.

Candidates must demonstrate a strong commitment to excellence in teaching. A strong record of scholarly publications is expected. The successful candidate is expected to vigorously pursue external funding to support their research with students. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in a relevant field; postdoctoral experience is preferred. Information on the Computational Science Program and its member departments can be found at http://www.csrc.sdsu.edu/.

We are seeking applicants with demonstrated experience in and/or commitment to teaching and working effectively with individuals from diverse backgrounds and members of underrepresented groups. Candidates must satisfy three or more of the eight Building on Inclusive Excellence (BIE) criteria: (a) is committed to engaging in service with underrepresented populations within the discipline, (b) has demonstrated knowledge of barriers for underrepresented students and faculty within the discipline, (c) has experience or has demonstrated commitment to teaching and mentoring underrepresented students, (d) has experience or has demonstrated commitment to integrating understanding of underrepresented populations and communities into research, (e) has experience in or has demonstrated commitment to extending knowledge of opportunities and challenges in achieving artistic/scholarly success to members of an underrepresented group, (f) has experience in or have demonstrated commitment to research that engages underrepresented communities, (g) has expertise or demonstrated commitment to developing expertise in cross-cultural communication and collaboration, and/or (h) has research interests that contribute to diversity and equal opportunity in higher education. Please indicate in your BIE (Building on Inclusive Excellence) statement how you meet at least three of these criteria.  This following link provides guidance for candidates to better understand what should be in their diversity statements https://sacd.sdsu.edu/cie/guidance-candidates .
