Part Time Lecturer-Computer Science
About The Position
The Department of Computer Science provides high-quality graduates to the technology industry. We offer Bachelor's degree programs in Computer Science, in Data Science, and in Computer Science and Linguistics (jointly with Dept. of Linguistics and Language Development or LLD). We also offer Master's degree programs in Computer Science, in Bioinformatics, in Data Science (jointly with Dept. of Math/Stat), and in Computational Linguistics (jointly with LLD, expected to begin in Fall 2024). The faculty members are excellent educators with practical and research expertise in machine learning, data science, artificial intelligence, information security, mobile networking, social networks, bioinformatics, etc. The Department enjoys rich interaction and collaboration with Silicon Valley. We have received a Best Practice Implementation Grant from the Center for Inclusive Computing to increase the representation of women and under-represented minorities in undergraduate computing. The Department of Computer Science and San José State University value diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. Our excellence in research, teaching, and service can only be fully realized by faculty, students, and staff who share our commitment to these values. SJSU enrolls more than 36,000 students, many of whom are historically underserved, and around 45% are first-generation and 38% are Pell-recipients. SJSU is a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) and Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander (AANAPISI) Serving Institution. The university's commitment to social justice extends from its vibrant, inclusive campus to an international network of over 275,000 alumni. As such, San José State is committed to increasing the diversity of its faculty so our disciplines, students, and the community can benefit from multiple ethnic and gender perspectives. Successful candidates will demonstrate evidence of a commitment to equity and inclusion through their research, teaching, and/or service. We ask that all applicants include a Diversity Statement with their application package. A guide to writing this statement can be found at SJSU Diversity Statement Guidelines, along with information about how these statements will be evaluated.
