The administration has been very supportive about sort of helping us get out of the hole that we were in,” Scassellati said, acknowledging that “you can’t hire 10 people in one year.” Though Yale understands the importance of computer science, Radev said, given the competition in the field, the University needs to move forward on a much faster and larger scale.
All the top computer science departments have state-of-the-art new buildings that allow them to do space-sensitive research like robotics, autonomous cars and other innovations, Radev wrote in an email to the News. It is “practically impossible,” to grow in those areas at Yale, he added.
Already, the University has to compete not only against other schools, but against companies including Netflix, Honda and Facebook for faculty candidates. Top researchers in artificial intelligence or machine learning can receive 10 to 15 job offers, computer science engineer salary, and Yale struggles to compete, given the department’s small size.
