The Department of Computer Science at the University of Victoria,
Canada is seeking applicants for one position at the rank of Assistant Teaching
Professor with eligibility for continuing appointment and with an anticipated

preference for candidates from any of the following three designated groups: indigenous peoples, persons with
disabilities, or women.
We are seeking individuals who have a record of excellence in
teaching, can teach a variety of computer science courses at the university
level, and have an interest in establishing a long-term teaching career with
our Department. We encourage applicants
with expertise in any area but the following are of particular interest given
our current department needs: introductory programming, software engineering,
security and real-time systems.
Successful candidates will have a PhD in computer science or
related area, completed by the appointment date. Candidates are expected to
demonstrate a commitment to excellence in undergraduate student teaching, aim
to engage in teaching-related scholarly activities, and have leadership
potential in advancing our undergraduate student education. Candidates should
demonstrate their commitment to pedagogical enquiry and teaching innovation.
The position requires administrative, organizational, mentoring and leadership
skills to be able to coordinate large first and second year undergraduate
courses, and supervise labs for first and second year courses.
Our department is undergoing significant expansion, and has a
strong record of excellence in research and teaching at the undergraduate,
masters and PhD level. Located on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada,
the City of Victoria is a wonderful place to live. It has a vibrant tech
sector, an international airport with direct connections to Seattle and major
Canadian cities, as well as direct seaplane access between downtown Victoria
and the downtowns of Vancouver and Seattle.
Applicants should submit a cover letter, CV, teaching statement,
and teaching dossier including course syllabi, teaching evaluations and a list
of at least three references including addresses, emails and phone numbers. In
particular, we ask for at least two teaching reference letters addressing the
candidate's pedagogical strength, and at least one letter addressing the
candidate’s subject competency in computer science. Evidence of participation
in instructional development (e.g., teaching-related workshops,
teaching-related conferences and presentations, or publications) will be considered
as an asset. The cover letter should clearly identify the designated group or

disabilities or women) to be considered for this preferential search.
