Consider applying here!
  • July: 📣 A new year and a new design for https://cs-pui.github.io/. CS-PUI is a website that I created to help advertise CS faculty positions at primarily-undergraduate institutions (PUIs) - it’s now live for the 2022-2023 hiring cycle! We crossed 10,000 hits last year, and I’m excited to see it continue to grow this year!
