Position Description
Union College in Schenectady, New York, invites applications for a three-year faculty position in Computer Science at the rank of Visiting Assistant Professor, beginning September 2025. The area of expertise is open. The ideal candidate will be enthusiastic about teaching, supervising undergraduate research, sustaining an independent research program, and providing service to the department. We welcome applicants from all areas of expertise, including those that can further strengthen connections between computer science and the liberal arts. A Ph.D. in computer science or a related area, either completed or close to completed, is required. This visiting position involves teaching the equivalent of two courses in each of three trimesters and serving as an academic advisor. Advising senior projects counts towards this teaching load. The successful candidate can expect to teach core CS classes along with courses in their area(s) of expertise. Preference will be given to candidates able to contribute to our data analytics program or otherwise interested in teaching courses at the interface of CS and other fields, such as the natural sciences, mathematics, or the humanities. We welcome applications from members of groups traditionally underrepresented in the field. Preference will be given to candidates with a demonstrated ability to contribute to the inclusion of groups that are underrepresented in computer science through teaching, research, and/or service. Our department offers a B.S. in computer science and supports both the computational track of the Neuroscience major and an ABET accredited B.S. in computer engineering with the Electrical, Computer, and Biomedical Engineering Department. We also participate in several computational minors including digital media, music technology, digital studies, and data analytics. Faculty research areas include robotics, HCI, NLP, formal methods, computational complexity, and software design. Creating and maintaining a welcoming and diverse environment is important to our department, and we share a commitment to improving the diversity, equity, inclusion, and sense of belonging within the department and across campus. Many of our department faculty have participated in the Cultural Competency in Computing (3C) Fellowship program, and have developed course content that emphasizes inclusion and equity in CS.
