The AMCS program contributes to developing mathematical frameworks and methodologies to foster economic prosperity and enhance the quality of life through the power of applied mathematics.

Priority will be given to candidates in the areas of Mathematical Foundations of Data Science and Applied Probability. All relevant areas to Applied Mathematics and Computational Sciences will also be considered, including but not limited to Applied Analysis, Partial Differential Equations, Numerical Analysis, Scientific Computing, and Optimization. Candidates with portfolios that align with Saudi Arabia’s national priorities for research, development, and innovation (RDI), namely, Health and Wellness, Sustainable Environment and Essential Needs, Energy and Industrial Leadership, and Economies of the Future will be given the utmost priority (see also https://www.rdia.gov.sa/index.en.html ).

Due to the high volume of applications received, only those submitted through the online Interfolio form will be considered. Applications will receive full consideration if submitted before January 15, 2025 and until the positions are filled.

The Computer Science program in the Computer, Electrical and Mathematical Sciences and Engineering Division (https://cemse.kaust.edu.sa) at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) invites applications from outstanding candidates for multiple faculty positions. The recruitment process will prioritize candidates applying for the Assistant Professor position. However, exceptionally qualified candidates may also be considered for Associate Professor positions.

The CS program (http://cs.kaust.edu.sa) contributes to addressing the world’s pressing scientific and technological challenges, broadly aligned with the objectives of Saudi Arabia’s VISION 2030. All relevant research areas of Computer Science will be considered, with a primary interest on: Artificial Intelligence (preferably with a focus on NLP), Resiliency and Cybersecurity, Computer Systems and Networking, Future Computing Paradigms,  and High Performance Computing.

Due to the high volume of applications received, only those submitted through the online form will be considered. Applications will receive full consideration if submitted on or before December 31st and until the positions are filled.

The Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Program within the Computer, Electrical, and Mathematical Sciences and Engineering (CEMSE) Division at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) invites applications for faculty positions at the Assistant Professor level (exceptional candidates at the Associate Professor level may be considered).
