The Department of Computer Science in the College of Social Sciences, Mathematics, and Education at The University of Tampa invites applications for two full-time tenure track positions at the rank of assistant professor beginning in August 2025.

The Department of Computer Science and B.S. in Computer Science are quickly growing. The program enrolled its inaugural class in the 2021-22 academic year, and this is an ideal opportunity to participate in the growth of a relatively new degree program and its unique curriculum.

The ideal candidate will have earned a Ph.D. in computer science or a closely related field and have a broad background in computer science. ABD will be considered; however, the terminal degree must be earned by July 2025 as a condition of employment.

The Department of Computer Science values faculty who balance excellent teaching with active scholarship. Responsibilities include teaching courses at the undergraduate level, advising students, conducting research, and participating in academic and professional service activities. Prior experience teaching undergraduate students is strongly preferred. The normal teaching load is three four-credit hour courses per semester. The successful candidate is expected to teach a wide variety of undergraduate courses in computer science as well as develop new courses in relevant areas of expertise. Strong candidates from all areas within computer science will be considered; however, applicants with teaching experience and active research in software engineering and DevOps, data mining and data management, machine learning and artificial intelligence, computer graphics and visualization, and human-computer interaction are especially encouraged to apply.

Highly effective, engaging teaching is a top priority, and innovative approaches to teaching are welcome. Professional achievement and service to the Department, College, University, and the broader community are also required. Candidates should be committed to excellence in teaching, research, and service.

The faculty and administrators in the College of Social Sciences, Mathematics, and Education, along with professional staff across the University, will provide meaningful support for your teaching and scholarship as elements of your personal and career development. We encourage you to grow professionally, and we support a healthy work-life integration to nurture that growth. The vision of the College of Social Sciences, Mathematics, and Education is “Empowering learners to make a difference.” All candidates are expected to contribute to the diversity of our curriculum and community. We are searching for teacher-scholars who will serve as mentors for our diverse student body, and who have a demonstrated commitment to the academic success of all students.
