Position Summary


Southern Utah University (SUU) is seeking applications for a full-time tenure-track Assistant or Associate Professor in Computer Science, scheduled to begin in August 2025. The candidate must hold a Ph.D. or DSc in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field. This position is intended for in-person employment, but applicants with a very strong record of teaching online courses may be considered for a remote position.

Although preference is given to candidates with a completed Ph.D. by the appointment start date, ABDs who will complete a Ph.D. within one year from their start date will be considered. Position includes benefits that may include relocation expenses to hired candidates for on-site employment. Incomplete applications will not be considered.

Essential Functions

• SUU is primarily a teaching institution; thus, the successful candidate will have a strong record of teaching, and will be given an opportunity to demonstrate their teaching skill in an on-campus visit. Primary responsibilities center around providing a quality educational experience for undergraduate students in Computer Science courses in a student-centered learning environment. Additional responsibilities include curriculum development, scholarly activity, active participation on service committees, and other duties as needed to support a robust and dynamic environment for student learning, and support the continuance of the program's accreditation(s).
  
• Tenure-track faculty teach 24 credit hours per year (4 courses per semester). Faculty may be expected to teach face-to-face, hybrid, and/or online courses.
  
• Although we are primarily a teaching institution, tenure-track faculty do have an expectation to engage collaboratively with students and/or peers on scholarly activity that generates peer-reviewed publications.
