The Department of Computer Science at the University of Arizona is accepting applications from dedicated educators for non-tenure-eligible, Career -Track (i.e., teaching) faculty positions at all ranks. Teaching faculty are vital to the department’s mission and are appointed with the expectation of long-term employment. The typical teaching load is two courses in each of the Fall and Spring semesters, but factors such as class size may reduce that load. Career-track faculty at all ranks teach both core and elective undergraduate courses, based on their interests and department needs, and actively participate in departmental faculty meetings, decision-making, planning, and service.
Applicants for the Lecturer track must have earned an M.S. in Computer Science or a closely-related discipline by the time of appointment. Applicants will be considered for appointment at the Lecturer, Senior Lecturer, or Principal Lecturer ranks based on experience and evidence of teaching quality and effectiveness.
As of Fall 2023, the Department of Computer Science has 31 faculty members, including 12 Career-Track faculty. The Department has a long history of excellent undergraduate and graduate instruction and research accomplishment with a diverse and enthusiastic student body.

We encourage applications from people who share our vision of bringing a transformational educational experience to our students and who are committed to anti-bias practices and mentoring under-represented students. We are particularly interested in receiving applications from members of groups that have been historically underrepresented in their chosen fields.
