SUMMARY/SCOPE:

The Holland School of Science and Mathematics invites candidates to apply to join a growing area of the university. The University is expanding heavily in STEM initiatives including engineering, technology, and health care. The Computer Science department will be an integral part of this growth.  The department has a solid student group with near 100% placement for graduates while also supporting other areas such as cybersecurity.

The CS department is looking for a non-tenure track faculty member to teach undergraduate courses. The candidate must possess a master’s degree in computer science or related field with preference given to those with a Ph.D. The teaching load is 12 credits per semester with summer teaching possible with additional compensation. The CS department teaches topics in programming, database, networking, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, UI/UX, system administration, and web development. While the primary focus is imparting knowledge in the classroom, it is the goal of the CS department to develop students into productive community members; therefore, experience outside the classroom of mentoring and discipling is also expected.
