CIS Practice Assistant Professor 2025




University of Pennsylvania: School of Engineering and Applied Science: School of Engineering and Applied Science - Computer and Information Science



LOCATION: Philadelphia, PA

OPEN DATE: Oct 8, 2024



DESCRIPTION


The University of Pennsylvania's Department of Computer & Information Science is pleased to welcome applications for teaching faculty under the Practice Professor track. It is a very exciting time to be engaged in computer science education at Penn: we are experiencing incredible growth and interest in CS courses at all levels, are developing new on-campus and online learning programs, and are rapidly growing the size of our faculty (over 20 hires in the last 5 years).



We are seeking dedicated, accomplished, full-time faculty to teach introductory-sequence courses, undergraduate electives, and Master's-level courses in software engineering, data science, machine learning, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, software systems, and other areas, starting in July 2025.



As part of our revamped teaching-track career path, our Practice Assistant Professor position seeks teaching-focused faculty members, who have a track record of research in engineering education and developing and publishing on innovative pedagogical techniques. Applicants who desire to pursue this track but do not yet have an extensive publication history are encouraged to apply also to our posting for a Lecturer position.



We seek individuals who embrace and reflect diversity in the broadest sense. Our faculty participate in departmental and schoolwide efforts to promote and welcome wide-ranging viewpoints and experiences, and they work closely with students of all backgrounds. We request a discussion of candidates' experiences in establishing and maintaining supportive environments for diverse student communities, as well as how they envision participating in efforts to ensure Penn students with different backgrounds have strong mentoring and a supportive environment.
