The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Hobart and William Smith Colleges invites applications for a tenure-track position in computer science to begin July 1, 2018.  Candidates with a teaching or research interest in robotics, operating systems, networks, and/or computer architecture or who could collaborate with one of the department's research groups are particularly encouraged to apply, but all areas will be considered.

Experience with and/or interest in working in a multicultural environment and encouraging excellence in computer science from students with diverse backgrounds and experiences are highly desirable. Evidence of ongoing research potential and a strong commitment to undergraduate teaching at all levels are essential. The teaching load is five courses over two semesters. Participation in the Colleges' general curriculum and mentoring of students in research are strongly encouraged.  The department currently has an active undergraduate research group in mathematical biology with a serious computational component, which would value collaboration with an expert in bioinformatics.

Applicants must have a Ph.D. in computer science or an equivalent field, or be expected to defend their dissertation in such a field by August 2018.

Application Instructions

Applications received by December 1 will receive full consideration. Applicants are strongly encouraged to submit application materials, and have recommenders submit their letters, online at academicjobsonline.org. The application will include a cover letter, detailed CV, statements on teaching and research, three letters of recommendation (at least one including substantial comments on teaching), and graduate transcripts (photocopies acceptable). Materials can also be submitted by mail to:
