Job Summary

Susquehanna University invites applications for a full-time tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor of Computer Science, beginning in August 2027. The area of specialization is open.

Specific Responsibilities

Teaching duties will be three courses per semester and will span a broad range of undergraduate Computer Science courses. The successful candidate is expected to develop and maintain an active research program. The successful candidate will also mentor undergraduate capstone projects. In their capstone, a student works individually with a faculty mentor on a project that extends or builds on what they've learned in their coursework. These projects can be theoretical or applied and can reflect a wide range of student interests.

Minimum Qualifications

Candidates must have, or anticipate having by August 2027, a Ph.D. in Computer Science or a related field, with sufficient background and experience in Computer Science to teach across the undergraduate curriculum.

Demonstrated success or evidence of potential to excel in teaching and advising undergraduates is essential, as is a commitment to ongoing scholarship and institutional service.

Additional Information for Applicant

To apply, please submit the following online:

• A cover letter addressing:
• How the candidate's pedagogy and research would fit into the environment of a small liberal arts college with a focus on undergraduate teaching
• Potential undergraduate capstone projects the candidate would be interested in mentoring
• A curriculum vitae
• A statement of teaching philosophy and/or a teaching portfolio
• A statement of research plans, including how undergraduates could be involved

The names and contact information for three references. References will be asked to submit letters of recommendation, and at least one letter must address the candidate's teaching experience.

Inquiries may be directed to the department head. Review of applications will begin on November 30, 2026, and continue until the position is filled. Zoom interviews will be conducted in December, with final on-campus interviews in January.

Applicants requiring visa sponsorship are welcome to apply if they are currently maintaining lawful status in the United States and will maintain such lawful status in the United States through the start of the appointment in August 2027. At this time, we are unable to consider candidates who do not have current lawful status in the U.S.

We offer a comprehensive benefits package for full-time employees, designed to support your health, financial security, and work-life balance. Our offerings include medical, dental, and vision insurance; retirement savings plans; flexible spending accounts; life and long-term disability insurance; and generous paid time off for holidays, vacation, and sick leave.
