Successful applicants will demonstrate a commitment to pursuing excellence in teaching a broad range of computer science courses and a willingness to foster undergraduate research. At Southwestern, teaching is an important criterion for faculty evaluation. The typical teaching commitment is 3-2 (totaling five courses per academic year), with a schedule including a combination of introductory programming courses for majors or non-majors, core courses from the CS major, and mid-level electives relevant to the faculty member’s research interests. Faculty are also expected to maintain a research program that results in peer-reviewed professional achievement, participate actively in university service, participate conscientiously in academic advising and retention initiatives, and exhibit a dedication to equity and inclusiveness.

Southwestern currently enrolls approximately 1,500 students and maintains a student to faculty ratio of 12 to 1.
