The IU Bloomington School of Informatics and Computing is the first of its kind and among the largest in the country, with a faculty of more than 60 full time members, more than 400 graduate students, and widely subscribed undergraduate programs. We offer undergraduate degrees in Computer Science and Informatics, M.S. degrees in Computer Science, Bioinformatics, Human Computer Interaction Design, and Security Informatics, and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science and in Informatics. The School has received public recognition as a “top-ten program to watch” (Computerworld) thanks to its excellence and leadership in academic programs, interdisciplinary research, placement, and outreach. We offer excellent work conditions, including attractive salaries and research support, low teaching loads, and world-class computing and library facilities. Additionally, the School continues to have strong student growth—over 30% in the last two years. We hired five new faculty last year and plan to hire a similar number this year.
Located in the wooded, rolling hills of southern Indiana, Bloomington is a culturally thriving college town with a moderate cost of living. It is renowned for its top-ranked music school, performing and fine arts, historic campus, cycling traditions, active lifestyle, and natural beauty.
