| Primary Purpose of Organizational Unit | The Department of Computer Science is a major teaching department at UNC Chapel Hill with over 30 tenured/tenure track faculty, four teaching track faculty, eight research faculty, and 18 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. Twenty-four SHRA positions and eight EHRA-NF positions, including technical and administrative personnel, support the infrastructure of the department. The Department’s driving research ideal is collaboration – as it has been since the founding of the 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. |
