Job Description:

The Manning College of Information and Computer Sciences (CICS) at the University of Massachusetts is looking for exceptional educators in computer science and informatics to join our 22 Teaching Faculty. Two positions are available. The first position is focused exclusively on robotics. The second position is focused on AI, but applications from truly exceptional candidates with expertise in other areas of computer science and informatics will also be considered.

Full-time teaching faculty have full faculty voting rights within the college and are eligible for full benefits. We are looking for individuals with a commitment to teaching and pedagogy, who are willing to work collaboratively with our other faculty to develop and continuously refine our curricula. It is expected that the individuals holding these positions will remain long-term with the College.

As part of a public, land-grant institution, CICS is dedicated to “Computing for the Common Good.” Given our continually growing and increasingly diverse student body, we encourage applications from women, people of color, members of the LGBTQ community, and individuals with a commitment to mentoring historically marginalized demographics in computer science.

Initial appointments will be for 2 years at the rank of Lecturer, though highly qualified candidates may receive consideration for these openings at other ranks (Senior Lecturer or Senior Lecturer II). Lecturers may be promoted to Senior Lecturer or Senior Lecturer II after sufficient time in service, meritorious performance, and promise of continuing professional development and achievement. After four years of full-time equivalent service, teaching faculty are also eligible for a continuous appointment.

This is an academic-year appointment with teaching responsibilities for nine months of the year. Full-time teaching faculty typically teach five courses per year at the undergraduate or graduate level and have service obligations. Opportunities for teaching additional summer courses may be available for additional compensation. While there are no required research-related duties, research activities are highly valued.
