The Department of Computing Sciences at Bocconi University invites applications for two Tenure
Track Assistant Professor positions.
The new department of Computing Sciences, created two years ago and in a phase of rapid
expansion, is an interdisciplinary department with leading international researchers in various
fields including theoretical computer science, machine learning theory, statistical physics
modeling, natural language processing, computational neuroscience, as well as biomedical
applications. In terms of teaching, the department has recently opened a bachelor in AI, a master
in AI, and is strongly involved in the PhD program in Statistics and Computer Science. It has a
strong core in theory and applied CS, and aims at broadening its portfolio, in particular towards
applications of machine learning not yet currently represented. We are looking for outstanding
candidates, curious and open to collaborations with colleagues from other fields. Candidates with
expertise in computer vision and/or high performance computing are particularly encouraged to
apply.
In principle the position is to be filled by 1 September 2024, but if necessary, the starting date
could be delayed to February 1st, 2025.
Bocconi University is an amazingly vibrant academic community with leading academics in
various fields. It is located in central Milan, Italy, offering undergraduate, graduate, PhD, MBA and
Executive programs.
Qualifications
Applicants should have a Ph.D. in Computer Science or closely related areas, and should
demonstrate the capacity for exceptional research achievement and the ability to teach effectively
in undergraduate, masters, MBA and PhD programs. Experienced candidates should have an
established track record of successful research and teaching.
Job information
The successful candidates will be expected to develop a strong publication record, broadly
contribute to the academic life of the department and be effective teachers both at the
undergraduate and graduate level.
Compensation and teaching load will be competitive with other top European Schools. The
contract will last for 6 years, with the possibility of becoming permanent after a successful tenure
process.
