What We Offer

Carnegie Mellon University offers a competitive salary, travel and housing allowances, and other benefit packages, which may include attractive professional development support.

Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar is a branch campus that operates in concert with several other American and European branch campuses under the umbrella of the Qatar Foundation's Education City. The branch campus closely follows the admissions requirements and English-language curriculum of the home campus, which awards all degrees.

The several thousand students in Education City are a broad mix of nationalities, but primarily from the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia. CMU-Q's faculty is a mix of professionals hired specifically to the campus and seconded faculty from the main campus.

CMU-Q's primary focus is undergraduate education in Business Administration, Biological Sciences, Computer Science, and Information Systems. Our CMU-Q library is part of the CMU University Libraries and shares access to a large collection of databases, e-journals, and e-books, as well as maintaining a smaller local collection of print and digital resources.

CMU-Q community members can also borrow materials from other Education City libraries, including the Qatar National Library. In addition to working closely with colleagues at the main campus library in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, CMU-Q librarians maintain close working relationships with librarians at the other American institutions in Qatar Foundation's Education City – Georgetown University, Northwestern University, Texas A&M University, Virginia Commonwealth University, and Weill Cornell Medicine.

Also in Education City is the newly opened Qatar National Library, an architectural marvel with collections and programs that serve the entire population of Qatar.
