Welcome to the home of the Department of Computer Science at
the University of Northern Iowa!
This is a
great time to be in computer science,
especially at UNI. Demand for IT professionals in Iowa and the
Midwest grows faster than universities can produce graduates.
The discipline of computing continues to push the boundaries of
what is possible by discovering new ideas, building new kinds of
systems, and bring new tools into the home, school, and office.
If you want to be in the thick of the intellectual excitement
that is changing every other discipline, then computer science
is the place to be.
At UNI, you will encounter a faculty immersed in this excitement
and dedicated to student achievement. UNI CS’s undergraduate
students work closely with faculty members to explore the
discipline of computing, learn skills they can use in the
marketplace, and have the opportunity to do research that extends
the field. The department is located in the Innovative Teaching
and Technology Center, which occupies the renovated
historic East Gym
in the heart of UNI’s
picturesque campus.
The department invites applications for a tenure-track
Assistant Professor position to begin August 2020.
For more details, visit
the position announcement.

Applications received by January 31, 2020, will be given full
consideration.
