Allegheny College invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track position in Computer and Information Science, beginning in August 2026. Ideal candidates will have a Ph.D. or other terminal degree (e.g., MFA, MEng, or MBA) in information technologies, with demonstrated core competencies in computer and information science, successful teaching experience in computational courses, and an active research agenda. The successful candidates will be invited to teach courses in computer and information science as well as in college-wide writing and speaking seminars. Allegheny faculty teach six courses per year, or the equivalent (with a one-course reduction in the first year). In the Department of Computer and Information Science, this corresponds to a teaching load of four laboratory courses per academic year. Start-up funding, access to laboratory space, and strong institutional support for undergraduate research will be provided. The successful candidates will join an entrepreneurial and vibrant community composed of dedicated teachers, active researchers, and diverse learners, and will contribute to an innovative curriculum in Computer and Information Science. The department offers programs in Computer Science, Data Science, Informatics, and Software Engineering, as well as a number of microcredentials. It has been recognized nationally for its innovation through initiatives such as a Mozilla Foundation grant from the Responsible Computer Science Challenge and an ongoing partnership with the National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT). As a participant in the GitHub Campus program, the department uses GitHub Enterprise and GitHub Classroom to support collaborative, version-controlled work across its courses. In addition, the department benefits from a Technical Advisory Board (TAB) - a network of alumni and industry partners - which actively advises on curriculum design, mentors students, and fosters professional opportunities for students. Allegheny faculty, students, and alumni have strong connections to top-tier academic institutions and industry-leading corporations and we are located near Pittsburgh and Cleveland, cities recently described as having a viable path to becoming one of America's leading hubs for technology startups. The successful candidate will join a dynamic and collaborative community in Allegheny's Department of Computer and Information Science, which is preparing to move into the Phil St. Moritz '61 Center for Innovation at Reis Hall in Fall 2026, a cutting-edge facility for innovation and learning designed to foster interdisciplinary collaboration. This new space will feature Allegheny Lab for Innovation and Creativity (ALIC), underscoring the college's commitment to preparing students for careers at the intersection of technology and creativity.
