The Department of Computer Science at the University of Virginia seeks applications for one or more non-tenure-track teaching-faculty positions to begin in August 2021. Candidates can apply for these long-term positions at one of three professorial ranks or at one of three lecturer ranks. We seek applicants who share our interest and enthusiasm for excellence in computing science education to join our department of 57 faculty, including 17 teaching faculty.  We are especially seeking faculty who can teach courses in computer security, databases, cloud computing, mobile computing, and AI, but are hiring in all areas of CS.

The department is committed to creating and benefiting from an environment where a diverse group of capable, inspired individuals interact and collaborate to learn and advance knowledge without barriers.

Candidates for a General Faculty position at the rank of Assistant, Associate or full Professor must, by the time the position starts, have a PhD or equivalent experience in computer science or a related discipline. They must have an interest in and ability to teach a broad set of courses in our undergraduate curriculum. Course load will be two to three sections per semester consisting of a mix of upper- and lower-division courses. Graduate-level teaching will possibly be included. Faculty in professorial positions will have service responsibilities, and scholarship in computing or in CS education is expected for promotion. The department strongly values scholarship activities by General Faculty that have potential to advance computing education.

Candidates for a General Faculty position at the Lecturer, Senior Lecturer or Distinguished Lecturer rank must have a Master’s degree or equivalent experience in computer science or a related discipline. Lecturers will usually teach two to three sections of core undergraduate courses but will also have the opportunity to teach more specialized upper-level courses. Lecturers may have fewer expectations for service activity, and will not be required to pursue scholarship for promotion.

These positions will have renewable three-year contracts. University policies insure that these positions benefit from opportunities for professional development, and there is a well-defined promotion path for these positions. General Faculty receive departmental support for their teaching and scholarship activities.
