I serve as adjunct professor of computer science at Tulane University, where I am involved in research on geometric computing and big data.

I was a Distinguished Professor of Computer and Information Science at the University of Mississippi (a.k.a. Ole Miss), where I served as the 17th chancellor of the university from January 2016–January 2019. Since July 2020, I now have an Emeritus designation. The University of Mississippi is the flagship and largest university in Mississippi, with about.

I was provost and executive vice chancellor at the University of Kansas (a.k.a. KU) in Lawrence, Kansas, an AAU institution comprising roughly 2,800 faculty members, 7,200 staff, 28,100 students, and an annual budget of $1.2 billion, spanning the main campus in Lawrence (with 10 colleges and schools), the Edwards campus in Overland Park, Kansas; and the.

I served as provost, executive vice president for academics, and professor of computer science & engineering at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas. As provost and EVP from 2008-2009, I had the responsibility of chief academic officer for an AAU university of over 48,000 students, 2,700 faculty members, and 10 colleges and schools. In addition.

I served as the Frederick L. Hovde Dean of the College of Science and Professor of Computer Science at Purdue University. As dean, I oversaw the discovery, learning, and engagement activities of the College's seven academic departments (Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Computer Sciences, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences, Mathematics, Physics, and Statistics).

From 1993 to 2002, I held a distinguished professorship as the Gilbert, Louis, and Edward Lehrman Professor of Computer Science in the College of Arts & Sciences at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. I served as chair of the Department of Computer Science at Duke from 1993-2001 and as co-director and a founding member of Duke's Center for Geometric.

I spent the 1998-1999 academic year on sabbatical at INRIA Sophia-Antipolis, France in Jean Daniel Boissonat's PRISME computational geometry research group (subsequently morphed into GEOMETRICA).

I spent the Spring 1997 semester on sabbatical at Lucent Technologies--Bell Labs in Murray Hill, NJ working in Avi Silberschatz's database group.

I served as professor of computer science at Brown University from 1988 until going to Duke University in 1993. Previously I was associate professor with tenure (1985-1988) and assistant professor (1980-1985) at Brown. Further details appear at http://www.vitter.org/jsv/.

I spent the 1986-1987 academic year on sabbatical at INRIA Rocquencourt, France in the late and great Philippe Flajolet's ALGO group on mathematical analysis of algorithms.

I spent one day per week during the 1986-1987 academic year on sabbatical at Ecole Normale Supérieure on rue d'Ulm in Paris, France in Claude Puech's Computer Science Department.
