The Theoretical Computer Science group continues today to pursue research in many areas of theory, including complexity theory, algorithms, data structures, computational geometry, cryptography, machine learning and computational economics. We have close connections with faculty in other groups, including computational biology, graphics, networks and systems. Princeton is a wonderful place for TCS research. Candidates must apply online at https://www.princeton.edu/acad-positions/position/18441 and submit a CV, research statement,and contact information for three references.
