Assistant or Associate Professor of Computer Science

Landmark College is seeking a full-time Assistant or Associate Professor of Computer Science to join our faculty and contribute to the continued growth and development of our Computer Science program.

We seek an engaged and versatile educator who is passionate about undergraduate teaching and can teach broadly across a bachelor’s-level computer science curriculum. Courses may include introductory programming, object-oriented programming, data structures and algorithms, software engineering, computer organization and architecture, operating systems, databases, and other courses based on the candidate’s background and interests.

Expertise in cybersecurity, computer systems, computer hardware, embedded systems, or related areas is particularly desirable and would complement existing faculty strengths in artificial intelligence and data science.

Teaching is central to this position.
