The Project Manager will also schedule and attend meetings of project participants, take and disseminate meeting notes, explore potential outsourcing developers, manage communications, coordinate travel, and develop intellectual goals for research related to the project. Must have excellent writing and verbal communication skills, strong attention to details, good time-management, organizational, and interpersonal skills, and a working knowledge of Microsoft Office and Adobe Acrobat.

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.

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.
