Search for University Jobs in Engineering

The Frank R. Seaver College of Science and Engineering at Loyola Marymount University (LMU) invites applicants to apply for a tenure-track position as Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science (CMSI). We seek to hire an innovative teacher-scholar to begin Fall 2026. As teacher-scholars we integrate science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) with Ignatian pedagogy, through which "teachers…accompany their students in order to facilitate learning and growth through encounters with truth and explorations of human meaning."

Successful candidates for this position will be dedicated to: 1) teaching a diverse student body in a transformative learning environment across a range of undergraduate and graduate courses, 2) developing a thriving research program that involves mentoring undergraduate and graduate students, 3) challenging themselves, their students, and their colleagues to be actively anti-racist and work toward greater diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in the profession in ways that align with student-centered pedagogies, accessible mentorship practices, and the university mission, and 4) participating in service activities at the academic, professional, and community levels.

The department currently offers programs leading to the B.S. and M.S. degrees in Computer Science and has 10 full-time faculty members and approximately 250 undergraduates and 50 graduate students. The department is committed to offering pedagogically effective, engaging, and transformative learning opportunities for our students in both the practical and theoretical aspects of the field. Undergraduates complete a culminating, hands- on software engineering project and many participate in faculty mentored research. Graduate students participate in faculty-mentored research through graduate research assistantships and/or a thesis degree option. Students are supported personally and professionally through several first-to-go programs, thriving ACM, IEEE, SWE, NBSE and SHPE chapters, campus Greek and affinity groups, ample teaching-assistant and tutoring hours, funded travel to conferences like the ACM Richard Tapia Celebration of Diversity in Computing, and multiple undergraduate research opportunities. More information is available at https://cse.lmu.edu/department/computerscience/.

Applicants must hold a doctoral degree in Computer Science or closely related field, conferred no later than August 15 of the position start date’s academic year. Although applicants should be able to teach a variety of technical computing courses, such as computer science fundamentals, theory, languages, systems, and interactive technologies, among others, faculty enjoy the flexibility to offer at least one specialty course aligned with their research or subdiscipline in computing.

Initial review of applications will begin on August 15, 2025 and will conclude when the position is filled. Questions regarding this position can be directed by email to Dr. John David Dionisio, Department Chair at JohnDavid.Dionisio@lmu.edu.
