Lecturer

The Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University (ASU) seeks applicants for a full-time Lecturer position beginning Fall 2021. The position is based in Tempe, Arizona but as the School of Computing, Informatics, and Decision Systems Engineering (CIDSE) has locations on both the Tempe and Polytechnic campuses, some travel between locations should be expected.  The job will involve teaching courses and facilitating student activities for the online Master of Engineering with an area of study in Computing and Technology. Students in this program are working professionals in China working to advance their technical knowledge and career advancement in computing and technology. Reporting to the CIDSE Director – Master of Engineering China, this position will provide program instruction in an online format, incorporating innovative teaching methodologies, cutting-edge technologies and other industry trends reflecting advancements in the computer science discipline.
