Computer Science Research Jobs Listing Services

This page contains pointers to places where jobs in computer science are listed. It emphasizes jobs requiring an MS or Ph.D. in computer science. However, some of these sources also list jobs requiring only a BS, jobs in EE or Cognitive Science, and the like.

General job references

• The most comprehensive and well-organized on-line list of CS job ads, of those I've located so far, is Kaplan's list, maintained by Alan Kaplan. This list disappeared when Alan was moving from U. Mass to Australia, came back on line for a while, but now seems not to be kept current (e.g. no 1998 ads).

• A wonderful general reference on internet job resources is the Riley Guide.

• Another list is available from Computists International

• The IEEE Computer Society has on-line duplicates of the ads in this month's edition of IEEE Computer.

• The Association for Computing Machinery publishes job ads in CACM and has an on-line set of job listings.

• The Computing Research Association has an on-line list of jobs ads from its member institutions, primarily research universities. These are duplicates of ads in Computing Research News, but stay on-line for an extended period of time. To receive these ads by email or get information about the list server, send one of the following mail messages to listproc@cra.org
  • subscribe jobs firstname lastname
  • help

• The Chronicle of Higher Education publishes ads for various jobs and makes them available on-line. However, this page contains only the current week's ads.

• IEEE Spectrum publishes ads for engineering positions of all sorts. These occasionally include computer science positions.

• Notices of the American Mathematical Society has listings for jobs in mathematics. However, the math and CS departments are often combined in small colleges, so there may be some CS or mixed CS/math listings here.

• The University of Colorado used to maintain a database of computer science jobs but this page seems to be dead?

• CMU has a list of faculty jobs.

• The William C. Norris Institute runs the Academic Position Network, which lists academic jobs in a variety of areas. Wonderful interface, spotty coverage of CS jobs.

References for specific areas

• SPIE's list of optics related jobs

• Job and postdoc announcements in AI, Common LISP and Prolog are posted on the AI-Jobs mailing list (ai+ai-jobs@cs.cmu.edu) and placed in an archive . For help on email subscriptions, send mail with no subject field and a body that consists of the single word help to ai+query@cs.cmu.edu.
