Description

The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at the College of the Holy Cross invites applications for a full- time tenure-track Assistant Professor in Computer Science to begin in August 2025. All research specialties will be considered. New faculty will have opportunities to develop new courses and teach a variety of existing courses at introductory, intermediate, and advanced undergraduate levels.

This position carries a 3-2 teaching load with a research leave prior to tenure review of either a full year at 80% salary or a semester at full salary, and generous sabbatical and fellowship leaves for tenured faculty. To enable a smooth transition to Holy Cross, new full-time tenure-track Assistant Professors receive start-up funding to support their research and professional development and have a one-course reduction in their first year of teaching (i.e., 2-2). All full-time appointments offer competitive salaries and full benefits. Faculty at the College cultivate a richly diverse academic community, pursue innovative teaching, and create high-impact scholarship.

Application Instructions

Please submit a cover letter addressing the position requirements listed above, a current curriculum vitae, unofficial undergraduate and graduate transcripts, a statement on teaching, a statement on research, and three confidential letters of recommendation. As a Jesuit, undergraduate liberal arts college, the College values dialogue among people from diverse perspectives as integral to the mission and essential to the excellence of our academic program. In your materials, please highlight how your teaching, scholarship, mentorship, and/or service might support the College’s mission and its commitment to diversity and inclusion.
