| Lyon College invites applications for a two-year Visiting Assistant Professor of Computer Science position beginning in August 2019, with a possibility of converting the position to tenure-track after two years. A Master’s degree in computer science is required; candidates holding or close to finishing a doctorate in computer science or related field are encouraged to apply. Candidates should be able to teach in the areas of data structures and algorithms, computer networks, databases, programming languages, and computer architecture. Teaching responsibilities also include teaching at least one introductory level course in mathematics annually. Opportunities may also arise to teach seminars and special topics courses in the candidate’s area of specialization. Involving undergraduate students in research is highly desirable. Additional responsibilities may include academic advising and service on college committees. Experience at a small, residential liberal arts college as a student or as a faculty member is desirable. Absent that experience, an understanding of the difference between a small college and a university and the desire to be on the faculty of a small college are important. Salary is commensurate with experience and qualifications.
Applications will be accepted until the position is filled. To apply, send a letter of application, a curriculum vitae, statement of teaching philosophy, and research interests along with the names of at least three current references and their contact information to Mr. Donald Taylor, Director of Human Resources, 2300 Highland Road, Batesville, AR 72501, or electronically to jobs@lyon.edu with “Visiting Assistant/Computer Science” in the subject line.
