Lawrence University invites applications for a full-time tenure
track position as Assistant Professor of Computer Science to begin
September 1, 2021. Appointment at the associate level may be
considered commensurate with experience. A PhD in Computer Science
or closely related field is required by job start date. The
Department of Mathematics and Computer Science seeks an excellent
teacher who is passionate about working with undergraduates in a
liberal arts setting while actively engaging in high-quality
research. Candidates should be enthusiastic to teach broadly,
including introductory and core courses (e.g., programming,
algorithms, data structures) as well as advanced offerings in their
particular areas of interest and expertise. Computer scientists
from all research areas are encouraged to apply.
Lawrence offers majors in Computer Science, Mathematics, and
Mathematics-Economics, as well as minors in Computer Science,
Mathematics, and, most recently, a minor in Statistics and Data
Science. We encourage innovative pedagogy and curriculum that
emphasize computer science’s interdisciplinary connections within
and beyond the sciences, and thoughtful, inventive teaching and
mentoring to help us create a more inclusive Lawrence. Teaching
load is two courses per term for three ten-week terms a year,
including participation in Lawrence’s Freshman Studies program on a
rotating basis. Ability and desire to lead undergraduate research
and development projects and otherwise connect scholarship with
teaching will be looked upon favorably.
Complete applications will include a cover letter addressing
interest in Lawrence in particular, a curriculum vitae, statements
on teaching and research, undergraduate and graduate transcripts,
and three letters of recommendation (two of which attest
specifically to teaching). In their materials, candidates should
explicitly address their commitment to fostering a truly engaged
and supportive experience for a diverse community of learners by:
(1) further diversifying the faculty; and/or (2) demonstrating
experience with successful diversity-related initiatives, creative
activity, or research; and (3) developing inclusive pedagogy to
address the needs of a diverse student body. Please submit
electronic copies to http://lawrence.peopleadmin.com.
Evaluation of applications will begin October 15th and continue
until the position is filled. For further information, please
contact Kurt Krebsbach (kurt.krebsbach@lawrence.edu), Professor of
Computer Science and Chair of the Search Committee.
