Job Details
Assistant/Associate Professor of Computer Science
Job Description:
Champlain College invites applications for a faculty position in the Division of Information Technology & Sciences. This position will primarily serve our undergraduate program in Computer Science and Innovation while collaborating with colleagues across the division and the college as we work to increase access and diversity, and design curricula in emerging STEM fields. The expected start date is negotiable. New hires are typically made at the rank of Assistant Professor but highly qualified candidates may be hired at the rank of Associate Professor.
Primary teaching responsibilities consist of in-class instruction of courses in the Computer Science and Innovation major. Faculty will be expected to teach in-depth and hands-on technical courses such as Python Programming, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning. Candidates with experience in other fundamental areas of Computer Science are also welcome to apply. Candidates should embrace an interdisciplinary approach to Computer Science that is inclusive, collaborative, and applied. Small class sizes optimize instructor-student interaction; hands-on activities translate theory into practice. Because the College is entrepreneurial and market-driven, academic programs respond to industry dynamics and increasingly complex global contexts. Consequently, the College values current industry and other "real world" experiences for its faculty and students.
The typical teaching load is four courses per semester. While there are no research requirements for retention, ongoing professional activity/development is strongly encouraged and supported. We seek candidates who can teach the current curriculum and contribute to our evolving offerings as we create new programs at the intersection of Bio/Life Sciences and technology. Out-of-classroom responsibilities include course/curriculum development, student advising, industry outreach, student team/project/club supervision, and service to the department, division, and college.

Organization
An educational pioneer since 1878, Champlain is a college where students and faculty don't just respond to opportunities -- they create them. We've introduced new fields of study, like Game Design and Computer & Digital Forensics, and offer majors with a specific focus, like e-Business Management, Digital Filmmaking and Public Relations. Champlain's three-dimensional education -- another pioneering concept -- integrates relevant, professionally focused studies with a rigorous Core curriculum and practical Life Skills program.
All this innovation thrives in our can-do culture, where people with diverse talents pool their skills in enterprising ways. Here students help each other launch new businesses, students and faculty collaborate on research and service, and the college creates partnerships with the community. Our city, Burlington, is the ultimate college town with a hip vibe, a thriving music scene and great food, from Doughboys doughnuts to Bove's family-recipe Italian. It's as original, forward-looking and down-to-earth as Champlain College, and a place it's easy to call home.
