University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign--Teaching Faculty (Open Rank)

University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
The Grainger College of Engineering: Teaching Faculty (Open Rank) - Computer Science

The Computer Science Department in the Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois invites applications for open positions at the rank of Assistant, Associate, or full Teaching Professor. We welcome faculty able to teach across the computer science curriculum, and are particularly interested in candidates who can teach artificial intelligence, data and information systems, and data science. Applicants should have a terminal degree in computer science or a closely related field. Initial appointments will be on three-year contracts renewed annually, at a rank commensurate with prior experience, and at a competitive salary.
Application review and interviewing will begin immediately. Applications received by December 15, 2021 will receive full consideration, but applications will be accepted until all positions are filled. Applications should be submitted by visiting https://jobs.illinois.edu and uploading a cover letter, curriculum vitae, teaching statement, diversity statement, and contact information for three references. Competitive applications will include evidence of effective pedagogy, such as course materials and assignments; peer, student, or statistical evaluations; or descriptions of novel approaches, tools, or systems that the applicant has developed. Applicants who desire confidentiality should explicitly mention this in the first paragraph of their cover letter. For inquiries, please email hr@cs.illinois.edu.
Successful applicants will join a large and active teaching faculty community. Our department's 21 teaching faculty embrace the challenges and rewards of teaching at scale, but generally do so by teaching many students across a small number of courses. Many instructors choose to teach the same course for multiple semesters, allowing them to develop deep mastery of their subject while supporting long-term investments in innovative pedagogy.
Teaching faculty have primary responsibility for designing and delivering the undergraduate core, but teach courses throughout the undergraduate and graduate degree programs and online. Teaching faculty also engage in other activities that support the university's educational mission, including leadership and service at the department, campus, or international level; collaborations that develop new courses or curricula; student mentoring and advising; creating systems and tools that support novel educational approaches; data analysis; community outreach; and research in computer science education or other areas of computer science.
