Shared Faculty - MIT Schwarzman College of Computing

To connect computing and other disciplines in addressing key challenges and opportunities of today and tomorrow, MIT has created 25 new Schwarzman College of Computing faculty positions that are shared between the College and different MIT departments. Shared searches are conducted around six strategic areas of inquiry, which were identified through an MIT-wide planning process.

Shared faculty members undertake research and education that infuses the forefront of computing and another discipline. Since 2021, the College has been building a cohort of shared faculty to strengthen MIT’s capacity in computing domains that cross departmental and school boundaries. Currently, 20 shared faculty members have joined the MIT community

Faculty members in shared positions are appointed in both an academic department and the College, in either the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) — in one of three overlapping sub-units: Electrical Engineering (EE), Computer Science (CS), and Artificial Intelligence and Decision Making (AI+D) — or in the Institute for Data, Systems, and Society (IDSS).
