Michigan CSE is hiring for multiple long-term, career-oriented teaching faculty positions. We are seeking passionate individuals to join our community of teaching-focused faculty, and who will support our values and further our goal of creating a diverse, inclusive, and representative Computer Science community within our department and in the field at large.
Apply at https://cse.engin.umich.edu/about/faculty-hiring/ and direct questions to Dr. Kim Diaz kkhalsa@umich.edu. Include a cover letter, CV, teaching statement, DEI statement, research statement (optional), three references, and teaching evals (if any).
Teaching Faculty are typically responsible for 2 courses per semester, sometimes 2 sections of the same course, with a mix of introductory, core, and specialized upper-level courses based on preference and expertise in Computer Science and Engineering. Faculty often work in collaborative teams when courses have multiple sections. Teaching faculty hold leadership roles in designing the curriculum and structuring our student experiences. We are seeking candidates who share our commitment to equity-centered engineering, and who strive for continued personal and professional development in the areas of pedagogy, diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Teaching faculty are active and engaged members of the department faculty. They are involved in departmental service and leadership, and many choose to be involved in scholarly research in their own technical area or in computer science education (though research is not required). A plethora of opportunities are available to teaching faculty for professional development, innovation, and research in teaching and learning in CS.
Faculty are supported by outstanding student instructors, who play a critical role in instruction, student support, building an inclusive environment, and course development. Additional support comes from dedicated, department-level course support staff, who assist with administrative and logistic needs.
Required Qualifications:
- PhD degree in a related field by Sept 1, 2025, or Master’s degree with significant experience
- Demonstrated support of academic programs and student success
- Strong oral presentation and communication skills, measured by a job talk
- Ability to teach introductory courses in computer science and engineering
Desired Qualifications:
- Teaching experience as a primary instructor
- Ability to teach advanced level courses in computer science and engineering
Selection criteria based on resume with supplemental materials, in-person interview and oral presentation to be given to CSE faculty. EECS course descriptions can be found at: https://bulletin.engin.umich.edu/courses/eecs/
We will begin reviewing applications as soon as they are received beginning September 1st, 2024, and continue throughout the academic year. Applications received by November 15, 2024 will be given priority consideration. Initial appointments include a renewable 3-year contract. Applicants will be evaluated based on demonstrated evidence of excellent teaching, ability to positively impact and support students, and commitment to creating a diverse and inclusive CS community, as well as potential for growth and professional development in these areas.
