近來，有心人作了一個統計來觀察那些美國的頂尖大學裡計算機系悄悄發生的變化。簡單的結果反映了不少值得注意的趨勢。有志來美深造的同胞可能會有興趣。特抄錄於此。共參考。
計算機(CS)牛校最近幾年招的教授（faculty）的來源分析
前兩天剛剛完成一個統計，就是全美前10名的計算機系助理教授（Assistant Professor）的Ph.D.出身。
因為這在很大程度上代表了CS牛校過去幾年招的faculty的來源。
計算機系規模(faculty人數, 排除兼職，退休及其他研究人員）:
CMU CS: 100+
MIT CS: 70-
Berkeley CS: 55
Stanford CS: 42
UIUC CS: 50+
Cornell CS: 40+
Princeton CS: 30+
UW Madison CS: 40-
Washington-Seattle CS: 45
UT Austin: 42
Caltech CS: 10+
UIUC的計算機系規模大得嚇人，50+個faculty, 24個Assistant Prof.
CMU是一個School of CS，規模自然最大，100+個faculty, 17個Assistant Prof.
Cornell最近幾年似乎faculty招得不少，13個Assistant Prof.
其餘學校，MIT是12個Assistant Prof，已經是最多的了。
Berkeley只有6個，除了Caltech 4個之外是最少的。
在CS專業內，如果你將來想在學術界發展，UIUC的表現so-so.
UIUC如此巨大之規模，在top10學校差不多100個新faculty裡面，只有2個Ph.D
(此外，Cornell ECE新faculty裡面，有2個UIUC CS 的Ph.D).
Berkeley 18個Ph.D.，MIT 17個Ph.D.，最為領先。
尤其是Berkeley，過去十年其Grad School扶搖直上，實際上已經超過MIT。
MIT招了3個自己的Ph.D.當faculty，Berkeley就體面多了，只招了1個。
所以，算在外校當faculty的Ph.D.，Berkeley 17:14壓倒MIT。
接下來，Stanford.，Cornell和CMU各有10個Ph.D，構成第二集團。
但是如果有offer，我個人認為Stanford還是更好一些，從學術聲譽上說。
其它的top10學校就不那麼突出了，最好的UW-Madison也就5個Ph.D.
主要是因為UW-Madison的數據庫和體繫結構都是全美最強，5個faculty全部出自於此。
Caltech雖然規模很小，也有3個Ph.D.，但是規模小意味着選擇範圍小。
Caltech的聲譽固然頂尖，但是從學術角度考慮，前5名的學校應該比Caltech更好。
U Washington也有3個Ph.D.，但是含金量顯然不如Caltech.
UIUC有2個Ph.D.，Princeton有1個Ph.D.，UT Austin光頭。
Note 1: many CS PhD's join EE departments as faculty, and vice versa.
Also, some assistant professors just become associate professors this
year, some old PhDs were in industry and just become assistant
professors this year.
Note 2: every school is different. Some schools prefer to hire old
established big guys, some others prefer to hire young productive
guys.
