Lecturer in Computer Science
The College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences at the University of Vermont (UVM) invites applications for (2) full-time non-tenure-track Lecturers in Computer Science for a Fall 2023 start date. We seek highly motivated candidates with strong computer science education credentials who can teach applied programming at introductory and intermediate levels, and ideally with a breadth of knowledge and ability to instruct in other areas such as theory of computation, web development, or other specialty areas that support Department priorities. Qualifications for this position include a minimum of an M.S. or similar degree level in computer science or a related field, and a demonstrated commitment to educating the next generation of computer scientists.
Prior experience teaching undergraduate-level computer science is highly desirable, as is prior experience or willingness to teach using active learning and project-based methods. The successful candidates will be expected to teach a typical course load (4 courses) during each of two semesters per year. A modest amount of service and academic advising is also expected. The appointment period is nine months per year, but opportunities for teaching additional summer courses may be available for additional compensation. UVM offers generous benefits packages, including health, dental, retirement contributions, and tuition remission.

UVM is especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity and inclusive excellence of the academic community through their teaching, service, and research, scholarship, or creative arts. We are an educationally purposeful community seeking to prepare students to be accountable leaders in a diverse and changing world.
