The mission of the College of Computing is to seize the opportunities and face the challenges of the computing age by transforming the capabilities of academia in three key areas:

• Address the tremendous need for, and the rapidly changing content of, undergraduate and graduate computing education, particularly in: Computer Science, and evolving areas of computing such as Artificial Intelligence, Modeling & Simulation, Decision & Communication Systems, Data Science, Cybersecurity, Microarchitecture, Parallelism etc.; computing in other disciplines including “blended” fields incorporating computing and other programs; and social and ethical responsibilities of computing, educating students about impacts and responsibilities of computing and how it applies to their field of study.
• Lead the rapid evolution of computing fields, both in research and education, bringing together and better coordinating existing academic and research units focused on computing as well as forging new activities and programs.
• Build collaborations in computing across UM6P, involving faculty from a broad range of fields who are engaged in computing education and research.

In order to deliver on its mission, the College of Computing is structured and governed in a way that enables it to achieve its mission of providing a high standard of education and research in computing, while fostering innovation, entrepreneurship, and social responsibility.

In addition to its academic programs and research initiatives, the College places a strong emphasis on industry collaboration. This is essential in ensuring that our faculty and students are well-prepared for the demands of the rapidly evolving computing/digital industry.

We are on the lookout for a DevOps Engineer with specialized expertise in Kubernetes and OpenStack to lead the development and operation of our private cloud infrastructure.
