“If you don’t have a strong computer science research program, you will be left behind in almost all sciences,” computer science professor Lin Zhong said. “What I don’t see from any of the leadership is maybe the epiphany that science has gotten into a watershed moment … Computer science is really going to be one of the centers of scientific activity for humanity for the next century.”
University spokesperson Karen entry level computer science jobs declined to comment on the rankings.
Though the department has made 10 new hires within the past three years — accounting for 10 of its 25 tenure-track faculty members — it is still only about half the size of the departments of several peer institutions, including Princeton, Columbia and the University of Chicago.
And when using the number of tenure-track ladder faculty as a measure, Yale’s CS department is larger than Yale’s engineering departments, but smaller than the other departments that have similar numbers of students — including economics and political science. Those departments have 50 and 40 tenure-track ladder faculty appointments, respectively, compared to the CS department’s 25.
