A record of successful collaboration with industry will also be viewed positively. CMU is a leader in artificial intelligence, and the Computer Science Department has a long history of successful collaborations with other departments including the Tepper School of Business, Mathematics, and Philosophy.
Applicants should submit an application letter indicating research areas, detailed curriculum vitae, research statement (including both current and future directions), teaching statement, copies of 3 representative papers, and names and email addresses of 3 or more references.
