Computer Science Tenure Track or Non-Tenure Track Faculty

Computer Science Tenure Track or Non-Tenure Track Faculty
The Department of Computer Science and Cybersecurity at Southern Utah University invites applications for a professor in Computer Science. This is a full-time faculty position to begin August 2024 or January 2024 and is open to candidates with either a Master's degree (for a non-tenure-track appointment) or a Ph.D. (for a tenure-track appointment). The position may be local at SUU's campus in Cedar City, Utah, or remote. The candidate must hold an MS, Ph.D. or DSc in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Software Development, or a related field. The successful candidate will have a strong commitment and ability to teach at the undergraduate and graduate level. Position includes benefits that may include relocation expenses to hired candidates for on-site employment
This position may also, at the choice of both the candidate and the department, include an administrative appointment as the Program Director of the Masters of Computer Science program.
Incomplete applications will not be considered.

Date of first consideration: 11/23/2023

Duties and Responsibilities:

1. Primary responsibilities include teaching undergraduate or graduate Computer Science and Software Development courses, use of effective teaching strategies, and curriculum development. All faculty teach courses at the undergraduate level, and this position will be expected to teach at the graduate level as well.
2. Additional responsibilities include scholarly activity, active participation on service committees, and other duties as needed to support a robust and dynamic environment for student learning. Experience with accreditation is a plus.
3. Faculty are expected to provide quality educational experiences in Computer Science for majors and non-majors in a student-centered environment. Non-tenure-track faculty teach 30 credit hours per year (5 courses per semester), and tenure-track faculty teach 24 credit hours per year (4 courses per semester). Faculty may be expected to teach in face-to-face, hybrid, or purely online modalities, depending on whether they are local or remote. As Director of the MS program, the faculty member would receive a reduction of at least one course per semester, which may increase based on the number of enrolled students.
4. Although we are primarily a teaching institution, tenure-track faculty do have an expectation to engage collaboratively with students and/or peers on scholarly activity that generates peer-reviewed publications. No such expectation exists for non-tenure-track faculty.
5. Faculty actively participate and collaborate with the department to enhance a robust Computer Science curriculum based upon industry standards as communicated by an Industry Advisory Board (IAB), and they participate in and support the continuance of the program accreditation within the Department.
6. All faculty must fulfill service opportunities within the department, college, and university.
