INTRODUCTION 

The Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Connecticut invites applications for a non-tenure-track position at the rank of Lecturer at the Stamford campus. The successful candidates will primarily contribute to the Department’s teaching program.

This position is for the new and dynamic program in computer science on the Stamford campus. It is specifically geared to Stamford and Fairfield county. This area has one of the world’s highest standards of living as well as a strong industrial base. There are opportunities for curricular design and engagement with regional industry. The successful hire will have significant opportunities to help shape the program. We expect to develop several concentration areas such as Software Engineering, Mobile Systems Development, Big Data Analytics, and Internet of Things, complementing the main department in Storrs.  Our initial focus area is Software Engineering.

The successful candidate will share a deep commitment to effective instruction at the undergraduate level, the development of innovative courses, and mentoring of students in research, outreach, and professional development. The successful candidate will also be expected to broaden participation among members of under-represented groups; demonstrate through their teaching, possible research, and/or public engagement the richness of diversity in the learning experience; integrate multicultural experiences into instructional methods and research tools, and provide leadership in developing pedagogical techniques designed to meet the needs of diverse learning styles and intellectual interests.
