About the Manning College of Information and Computer Sciences
The Manning College of Information and Computer Sciences (CICS) at UMass Amherst is home to graduate and undergraduate programs that are ranked among the top twenty-five in the nation by U.S. News & World Report and CS Rankings. Following a decade of tremendous growth, CICS currently has 89 core faculty and continues to build on its history of innovative teaching with new programs in public interest technology and a growing online master's program.
Job Description
The Manning College of Information and Computer Sciences (CICS) at the University of Massachusetts is looking for exceptional teachers in computer science and informatics to join our growing Teaching Faculty. We encourage applications in all areas of computer science and informatics, particularly for those who can teach courses in introductory CS, math foundations, theoretical CS, software engineering, and HCI.
We seek individuals committed to teaching and willing to work collaboratively with faculty to develop and refine our curricula. It is expected that the person holding this position will remain with the college long-term.
As part of a public, land-grant institution, CICS is dedicated to "Computing for the Common Good." We encourage applications from women, people of color, members of the LGBTQ community, and individuals committed to mentoring historically marginalized demographics in computer science.
Initial appointments will be for 2 years at the rank of Lecturer, though highly qualified candidates may receive consideration for other ranks (Senior Lecturer or Senior Lecturer II). Lecturers may be promoted after sufficient time in service and meritorious performance. Teaching faculty are also eligible for a continuous appointment after four years of full-time equivalent service.
This is an academic-year appointment with teaching responsibilities for 9 months of the year. Full-time teaching faculty typically teach five courses per year at the undergraduate or graduate level. Opportunities for teaching additional summer courses may be available for additional compensation. While there are no required research-related duties, research activities are highly valued.
Requirements
Applicants must hold an MS or PhD in Computer Science or a closely related field, with a PhD strongly preferred. A strong commitment to and proven track record of teaching undergraduate and/or graduate courses in computer science or a closely related field is required. A prior research record in Computer Science or a closely related field is strongly preferred.
Application Instructions
We will begin interviewing in early fall 2024 and will continue to accept applications through spring 2025 or until all positions are filled. To ensure consideration for a fall interview, we encourage you to apply no later than October 31, 2024.
Candidates are required to attach a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, a teaching statement, and contact information for three (3) professional references. Please include a statement in your cover letter that explains your interest in a faculty position with UMass Amherst, as well as a statement addressing your past and/or potential contributions to diversity through research, teaching, and/or service.
The University is committed to active recruitment of a diverse faculty and student body. The University of Massachusetts Amherst is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer and encourages applications from women, minorities, protected veterans, and individuals with disabilities.
