Current Openings

The Language Technologies Institute (LTI) in the School of Computer Science (SCS) at Carnegie Mellon University invites applications for multiple tenure-track faculty positions, with multiple positions starting in the Fall 2025 semester. Tenure-track applicants must have strong interests and accomplishments in both research and teaching.

The LTI is dedicated to the study of human language and related information technologies, including NLP, speech, MT, computational linguistics, text mining, machine learning, and multimedia. The LTI has some 30 faculty, about 125 PhD/MS research students, and 357 professional MS students. It has six degree programs, ranging from undergraduate to PhD. It is one of seven departments within SCS, which has over 200 faculty with expertise spanning all areas of computer science. SCS is a highly collaborative and uniquely interdisciplinary environment that promotes innovation in both teaching and research.

We seek candidates internationally who have a demonstrated commitment to excellence, and who will contribute towards building an equitable, diverse, and collegial scholarly environment. Applicants must have outstanding academic credentials and have an earned Ph.D. in Computer Science or a closely related field.

Excellent candidates in all areas of natural language processing and related language technologies are encouraged to apply, including:

  • Large language models (all aspects, including training, evaluation, systems)
  • Interactive systems and conversational AI
  • Multimodality
  • Domain-specific applications (e.g. healthcare, education, legal, computational social
    science)
  • Impacts of language technology on society (e.g. future of work, policy implications)

The full application should include:

  • A letter indicating the research area
  • Detailed curriculum vitae
  • Research statement (including both current and future directions)
  • Teaching statement
  • Broader impact statement describing how your research and teaching has an impact on
    society, particularly for underrepresented groups (see full prompt)
  • Copies of 3 representative papers
  • Names and email addresses of three to five individuals who have been asked to provide
    letters of reference

Carnegie Mellon University shall abide by the requirements of 41 CFR §§ 60-1.4(a), 60-300.5(a) and 60-741.5(a). These regulations prohibit discrimination against qualified individuals based on their status as protected veterans or individuals with disabilities, and prohibit discrimination against all individuals based on their race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Moreover, these regulations require that covered prime contractors and subcontractors take affirmative action to employ and advance in employment individuals without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, protected veteran status or disability.
