About TTI-Chicago
TTI-Chicago is a philanthropically endowed academic institute dedicated to
fundamental research and graduate education in computer science.
TTI-Chicago produces cutting-edge research (our faculty routinely publish
their results at top conferences and are recognized with distinctions such
as the Sloan Research Fellowships, NSF CAREER Awards, and Best Paper
Awards) and offers world-class graduate education. At the same time,
TTI-Chicago faculty members enjoy a uniquely light teaching load, which
helps them focus on their research. TTI-Chicago research assistant
professor alumni have an excellent employment track record (
https://www.ttic.edu/faculty-alumni/).

Located on the University of Chicago campus, TTI-Chicago has strong ties to
the University. In addition to having access to TTI-Chicago's excellent
computing infrastructure, faculty members have access to many of the
University of Chicago's state-of-the-art facilities. TTI-Chicago faculty
members frequently collaborate with colleagues from leading academic
institutions around the world.  Moreover, TTI-Chicago supports travel and
visitor hosting (through annual research funds for research and tenured
faculty and start-up packages for tenure-track faculty).

TTI-Chicago's faculty and students enjoy the close proximity of a vibrant
urban environment with flourishing culture, business, and entertainment
scenes.

We invite candidates with an outstanding academic record and passion for
computer science research to join our world-class team of 12
tenured/tenure-track faculty and 11 research faculty members.

Teaching Requirements
Tenure-track faculty teach one quarter per year. Research faculty have no
teaching duties, but have the opportunity to teach and co-advise students.

TTI-Chicago/Simons-Berkeley Joint Program
Applicants for research assistant professor (RAP) positions in relevant
areas are encouraged to simultaneously apply for the TTI-Chicago RAP
program and the Simons-Berkeley Research Fellowship.  In 2020-21, the
Simons Institute is running four programs: “Probability, Geometry, and
Computation in High Dimensions”, “Theory of Reinforcement Learning”,
“Satisfiability: Theory, Practice, and Beyond”, and “Theoretical
Foundations of Computer Systems” (see
http://simons.berkeley.edu/programs/current for details).

Applicants selected by TTI-Chicago will be offered an RAP position.
Applicants selected by both institutions will be able to participate in a
program at the Simons Institute before joining TTI-Chicago. Please note
that applicants interested in the joint program must submit separate
applications to TTI-Chicago and the Simons Institute.

We will start reviewing applications on December 1, 2019, and will continue
until the positions are filled.

2.      curriculum vitae
3.      research statement
4.      teaching statement (optional for RAP applicants)
