Tenure-Track Computer Science Professor Augustana College is a selective liberal arts and sciences college of 2,400 students, including 18 percent first generation college students, 21 percent Pell Grant students, 23 percent students of color, and 15 percent international students. Our beautifully wooded and largely residential campus is located in Rock Island, IL, a diverse Illinois-Iowa Quad Cities metropolitan area along the Mississippi River with 400,000 residents less than three hours west of Chicago. Strengthening our diverse and inclusive community is central to the college's mission and strategic plan. We seek applicants with an interest in fostering rigorous, inclusive, and high-impact learning environments for a diverse student body. Details about Augustana College, faculty life, and the Quad Cities all are available at Teaching at Augustana. Augustana College, Rock Island, Illinois, invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor position in Computer Science beginning in August of the 2024. We are seeking applicants from any specialization within computer science, provided that they are dedicated to excellence in teaching.The teaching load is typically six courses per academic year (which faculty may fulfill through a combination of teaching and advising; the majority of courses are four credits). In addition to teaching and advising, tenure-track faculty are expected to engage undergraduate students in research projects, and there is institutional support for promoting student-faculty research collaborations.

Our students are also active outside of the classroom, and new faculty will be encouraged to connect with students in extracurricular settings, such as student clubs focussing on cybersecurity, video game design, web/software development, and competitive coding/puzzle solving. Our department also hosts a weekly “department seminar”, which includes student and faculty presentations, outside speakers on special topics, interactive workshops, as well as fun social events. In short, the successful candidate will join a close-knit community of teacher-scholars who work collaboratively to educate the next generation of computer scientists. The successful applicant will enjoy teaching small classes where they get to know their students individually and can work closely with them to help them succeed. Requirements for this position: Candidates should hold a PhD in computer science or a closely related field, or be ABD, prior to the position start date. Successful candidates will be able to demonstrate their interest in a career that centers high quality teaching, their own potential for teaching excellence, a plan for involving undergraduates in future research projects, the ability to engage students in and out of the classroom, a commitment to fostering equity and inclusion, and a commitment to professional growth through improving pedagogical practice and adapting to changing technologies and curricular needs.
