Lecturer at U. North Carolina Greensboro

We have an open non-tenure-track Lecturer position for next year that I would like your help in publicizing. This position is an excellent opportunity for graduating students (M.S. or Ph.D.) who are either interested in a teaching position or would like to gain some teaching experience before a future tenure-track job search. There are potentially some opportunities for research collaboration with our regular research faculty, but the teaching load makes this difficult from a workload standpoint. If there are any students there who are finishing up and would be interested in gaining some full-time teaching experience, we'd love to hear from them. The Department of Computer Science at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro has at least one non-tenure-track teaching position (Lecturer or Visiting Faculty) available for the 2017-2018 academic year, to meet the teaching needs in our rapidly growing and vibrant Computer Science program. Responsibilities: This is a non-tenure-track, 9 month appointment that may include the possibility of renewal based on factors including, but not limited to, continued need, satisfactory performance, and availability of funding. The position involves teaching a variety of courses in computer science for majors and non-majors. Teaching assignments will take into account the candidate’s experience and, whenever possible, preferences. The courses will primarily be lower-level undergraduate classes, but if a candidate's experience, qualifications, and interest are appropriate then teaching assignments could include upper-level or master’s level classes. Classes are generally during the day, although an occasional evening section may be required. More information about the department can be found at our web site, http://cs.uncg.edu/ UNCG is proud of the first-rate education it provides for its students. The university is regularly included on Princeton Review's list of “Best Colleges,” and was recently ranked by the nonprofit Educate to Career as one of the top 10 universities in the nation for the value its education offers graduates. UNCG is happy to serve a diverse student body and we seek to attract an equally diverse applicant pool. We are an EEO/AA employer and are strongly committed to increasing faculty diversity. Qualifications: Minimum qualification is a master's degree (or equivalent graduate-level credit) in Computer Science. Deadline: We will review applications as they arrive, and continue until the position is filled. Contact: Questions, informal inquiries, and applications should be addressed to Dr. Stephen Tate, srtate@uncg.edu. Applications should include a letter of application describing interest in the position, CV, information on prior teaching experience (with copies of teaching evaluations if possible), and the names, telephone numbers and email addresses of at least (3) three professional references. While email is preferred, printed applications can be mailed to: Dr. Stephen Tate The University of North Carolina at Greensboro Dept. of Computer Science 317 College Avenue 167 Petty Building Greensboro, NC 27412
