The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Santa Clara University (SCU), a Jesuit, Catholic university, invites applications for a full-time, renewable, non-tenure track faculty position at the rank of Assistant Teaching Professor in Computer Science. SCU is a welcoming and inclusive community of teaching scholars whose work is grounded in the university's fundamental values. Those values, which include academic excellence, social justice, and community engagement, are infused with a culture of care that defines our community-upholding the dignity of all. The university draws on the many resources of the greater Bay Area, including Silicon Valley, where we are located. The department seeks a faculty member who will teach computer science courses, such as: Introduction to Programming, Introductory/Advanced Object Oriented Programming, Programming Languages, and Design and Management of Software. The successful candidate will start on September 1, 2026. This is primarily a teaching position, but the successful candidate will be expected to also engage in professional activity (15%), and do service (15%) for the department, college, and university. SCU is on the quarter system, and the expected teaching load is seven undergraduate courses over three academic quarters (Fall, Winter, and Spring). Assistant Teaching Professors are appointed for an initial term of three years. Reappointment to subsequent terms of three years depends upon the availability of funds, persistent programmatic need, and superior teaching, service, and professional activity. Promotion to Associate Teaching Professor and then Teaching Professor is possible under the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
