The search committee will also consider other fields, including but not limited to Computer Science Education and Theoretical Computer Science. The successful candidate will teach undergraduate and graduate students, be active in scholarly and applied research involving students, and engage in service activities.

Candidates shall have the ability to teach a broad range of undergraduate computer science courses to students with diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, preparation, and career goals. An ongoing commitment to improving teaching effectiveness and student engagement is required. The instructional workload is 12 Weighted Teaching Units (WTUs) per semester.
