Open Positions

The Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at Penn State significantly expanded its Theoretical Computer Science group in 2007. As a result, we solicit applications to our Ph.D. program from students interested in working in Theory. Students with interests in algorithms, cryptography, computational molecular biology, data privacy, and quantum computing are especially encouraged to apply.Research assistantships are available for strong candidates.

The CSE department in general has grown significantly in recent years and also has strong groups in areas such as bioinformatics, computer vision, databases, embedded and hardware systems, intelligent systems, networking and security, and numerical analysis and scientific computing. For more information about the department, please see the brochure at http://www.cse.psu.edu/~jenny/publications/CSEBrochure.pdf.

The deadline for applications for funded positions is February 1. Information about how to apply can be found at http://www.cse.psu.edu/academics/graduate/
