General Description

Johns Hopkins University has made a major new investment in Data Science and AI. The investment will add 150 new faculty positions, including 30 Bloomberg Distinguished Professorships. The University has established a new Data Science and AI Institute (DSAI Institute). A new half-million square foot building and an unparalleled computational infrastructure is being constructed. This expansion will establish Johns Hopkins as one of the largest and leading engineering schools with a top AI research program. The expansion will double the Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics from 20 full-time regular faculty in 2023 to 40 by 2028.

This search is to fill faculty positions in the DSAI Institute. We invite applications for tenured or tenure-track faculty positions in all areas of the Mathematical Sciences.  The successful candidate will have a tenure home in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics (and possibly another Whiting School of Engineering department) and will support one or more of the following cross-departmental DSAI clusters:

Candidates must hold a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics, Statistics, or related fields, and will be expected to establish a strong, independent, multidisciplinary, and internationally recognized research program. Commitment to teaching excellence at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and a dedication to creating an inclusive and supportive educational environment for all students is expected.

At Johns Hopkins, we value interdisciplinary collaboration. Faculty at the Whiting School of Engineering are united by a shared commitment to scientific discovery, teaching excellence, and transformative knowledge that contributes to the betterment of society.
