We seek candidates with skills and demonstrated research expertise in data science areas such as machine learning, text as data, large-scale computing and networks.

Candidates must possess a Ph.D. and have a record of research and teaching commensurate with Associate Professor rank at Georgetown. Advanced Assistant Professors will also be considered.

The ideal candidate will be a dynamic leader eager to make interdisciplinary connections across the Georgetown data science research community.

We welcome candidates from a variety of academic disciplines, including data science, mathematics, computer science, computational linguistics, computational social science, economics, health informatics, information science and statistics. Applicants may be doing advanced data science work in a specific discipline we have not identified above.

The successful candidate’s tenure home and teaching will be in the Data Science and Analytics program located in Georgetown’s Graduate School (https://analytics.georgetown.edu/). Candidates may also have an affiliation with another department at Georgetown which can support the candidate’s research agenda.

The Data Science and Analytics Program provides students with rigorous training in analytical, computational, mathematical, and statistical methods and models to prepare them for careers in data science and analytics. We offer a Master of Science degree in Data Science and Analytics as well as a BS-MS Degree in Data Science and Analytics.

The Data Science and Analytics Program offers courses in big data and cloud computing, machine and deep learning, interactive and complex visualization methods, advanced structures, objects, algorithms, and complexity, text mining and natural language processing, advanced mathematical and statistical modeling, databases, and more. (https://analytics.georgetown.edu/academics/course-descriptions).

The program plans on continued growth in tenure line faculty and aspires to add a Ph.D. program.

Applicants should provide a letter of application, CV, a research statement, and a teaching statement. Candidates should provide names and contact information for three references. The committee will begin reviewing files on November 1, 2021.

We seek candidates from diverse backgrounds and candidates committed to making Georgetown a more inclusive community. The University attracts and enrolls students who bring a rich array of racial and ethnic backgrounds, genders, disabilities, as well as socioeconomic, international and combinations of those dimensions. For many of our students, representation in the classroom is an important institutional value.
