The Department of Computer Science and Engineering at UC Merced invites applications for a qualified Assistant Teaching Professor to coordinate and teach undergraduate courses in computer science and engineering. We seek candidates who have demonstrated that they are promising educators and who are interested in a teaching-focused career.

The job title is also known as Lecturer with Potential Security of Employment (LPSOE). This series parallels that of the research-focused series but with emphasis upon excellence in teaching and other instruction-related activities. Individuals in
this position are expected to provide outstanding teaching; maintain an active program of pedagogical and/or disciplinary scholarship; and perform service related to the pedagogical mission of the department and the university. This appointment
confers membership in the academic senate, and, contingent upon promotion, tenure-paralleling security of employment.

We are particularly interested in attracting academically and culturally diverse candidates, especially those who have engaged in activities or efforts to educate a broad and diverse group of students, and have worked to increase the participation and success of students from groups underrepresented in computer science.

Inquiries and questions should be sent to: csesearch@ucmerced.edu

The position will remain open until filled. However, to ensure consideration, applications should be received by December 15, 2023.
