Professor of Practice, Information Technology

Lewis University seeks a new Professor of Practice in Information Technology. The new faculty member will become part of the faculty of the Department of Engineering, Computing and Mathematical Sciences (ECaMS) within the College of Aviation, Science and Technology. The new faculty member will teach twenty-four credit hours of undergraduate coursework annually, help maintain the department's computing services (including our platforms for remote instruction), identify ways to improve remote access to learning resources, help facilitate student organizations and activities related to information technology, and assist students as they conduct service-oriented capstone projects to complete their degree.

Some evening and weekend teaching and service will be required. The Bachelor of Science in Information Technology demonstrates a new approach to undergraduate computing education at Lewis, and so we expect the new faculty member to bring an innovative energy to this position. Lewis University serves a diverse student population and community, and we invite applications from individuals that embody a commitment to diversity.

The qualified candidate will hold, at a minimum, a Master of Science in Computer Science, Information Systems, Information Technology or related field, as well as one or more industry-recognized certifications in an information technology specialty. Years of professional experience designing, implementing, securing and supporting enterprise computer systems can substitute for industry certifications and enhance the candidate's suitability for the position. College-level teaching experience and a demonstrated commitment to career-focused undergraduate technology instruction will further distinguish the candidate.
