Position Highlights

The Department of Computer Science at the University of Arizona is accepting applications from dedicated educators for non-tenure-eligible, Career -Track (i.e., teaching) faculty positions at all ranks. Teaching faculty are vital to the department's mission and are appointed with the expectation of long-term employment. The typical teaching load is two courses in each of the Fall and Spring semesters, but factors such as class size may reduce that load. Career-track faculty at all ranks teach both core and elective undergraduate courses, based on their interests and department needs, and actively participate in departmental faculty meetings, decision-making, planning, and service.

Applicants for the Lecturer track must have earned an M.S. in Computer Science or a closely-related discipline by the time of appointment. Applicants will be considered for appointment at the Lecturer, Senior Lecturer, or Principal Lecturer ranks based on experience and evidence of teaching quality and effectiveness.
