近来，有心人作了一个统计来观察那些美国的顶尖大学里计算机系悄悄发生的变化。简单的结果反映了不少值得注意的趋势。有志来美深造的同胞可能会有兴趣。特抄录于此。共参考。
计算机(CS)牛校最近几年招的教授（faculty）的来源分析
前两天刚刚完成一个统计，就是全美前10名的计算机系助理教授（Assistant Professor）的Ph.D.出身。
因为这在很大程度上代表了CS牛校过去几年招的faculty的来源。
计算机系规模(faculty人数, 排除兼职，退休及其他研究人员）:
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的计算机系规模大得吓人，50+个faculty, 24个Assistant Prof.
CMU是一个School of CS，规模自然最大，100+个faculty, 17个Assistant Prof.
Cornell最近几年似乎faculty招得不少，13个Assistant Prof.
其余学校，MIT是12个Assistant Prof，已经是最多的了。
Berkeley只有6个，除了Caltech 4个之外是最少的。
在CS专业内，如果你将来想在学术界发展，UIUC的表现so-so.
UIUC如此巨大之规模，在top10学校差不多100个新faculty里面，只有2个Ph.D
(此外，Cornell ECE新faculty里面，有2个UIUC CS 的Ph.D).
Berkeley 18个Ph.D.，MIT 17个Ph.D.，最为领先。
尤其是Berkeley，过去十年其Grad School扶摇直上，实际上已经超过MIT。
MIT招了3个自己的Ph.D.当faculty，Berkeley就体面多了，只招了1个。
所以，算在外校当faculty的Ph.D.，Berkeley 17:14压倒MIT。
接下来，Stanford.，Cornell和CMU各有10个Ph.D，构成第二集团。
但是如果有offer，我个人认为Stanford还是更好一些，从学术声誉上说。
其它的top10学校就不那么突出了，最好的UW-Madison也就5个Ph.D.
主要是因为UW-Madison的数据库和体系结构都是全美最强，5个faculty全部出自于此。
Caltech虽然规模很小，也有3个Ph.D.，但是规模小意味着选择范围小。
Caltech的声誉固然顶尖，但是从学术角度考虑，前5名的学校应该比Caltech更好。
U Washington也有3个Ph.D.，但是含金量显然不如Caltech.
UIUC有2个Ph.D.，Princeton有1个Ph.D.，UT Austin光头。
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.
