Position Information

Be a Tar Heel!

This position plays a vital role in strengthening the department’s engagement with key stakeholders while enhancing the student experience through well-executed programming and communications. The coordinator serves as an essential bridge between students, corporate partners, alumni, and departmental initiatives.

Primary Purpose of Organizational Unit

The Department of Computer Science is one of 16 science departments and curricula in the College of Arts and Sciences. It is a major research department with more than 30 tenured/tenure track faculty, nine teaching track faculty, 12 research faculty, and 17 adjunct faculty, who serve more than a thousand undergraduate students and hundreds of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Teaching and research activities are currently assisted by nearly 200 graduate students and eight EHRA non-faculty. Twenty-four SHRA positions, including technical and administrative personnel, support the infrastructure of the department. Our driving research ideal is collaboration as it has been since the founding of our department in 1964. We believe that computer science’s greatest purpose is in working with other scientists to solve problems in their own disciplines. Therefore, we actively seek opportunities to generate new research with our colleagues and with scientists in other departments across campus, including in science, medicine, and the humanities. Numerous computer science faculty members have adjunct or joint appointments in other departments, lead large interdisciplinary research groups, and collaborate with colleagues from multiple universities across the Research Triangle, the United States, and even the world.

The role is essential to maintain the visibility for the department and service to its students and faculty and requires an autonomous level of program management skills.
