Assistant Professor, Computing

About the Faculty of Science and Technology

The Department of Mathematics and Computing, Faculty of Science and Technology at Mount Royal University invites applications for a tenure‑track position of Assistant Professor which will commence July 1, 2026, subject to final budgetary approval. The role supports Bachelor of Computer Information Systems and other computing programs.

Faculty members teach both majors and general education courses, helping students develop flexibility, innovation, and critical thinking skills.

In addition to teaching, faculty contribute to the liberal education component of all undergraduate degree programs and support the delivery of general education courses for a diverse student body.

The successful candidate will commit primarily to undergraduate teaching and develop/maintain an active research program. The position will focus on teaching computing courses supporting the Bachelor of Computer Information Systems.

Preferred candidates will contribute to one or more of the following areas:

• Societal implications of information technology (e.g., COMP 3309)

Added responsibilities include:

• Involving undergraduate students in research
• Attracting external funding

Applicants who demonstrate a potential for effective teaching and productive scholarship, along with awareness of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Accessibility, are encouraged to apply.

New faculty are hired into one of two work patterns. The teaching/scholarship/service pattern (TSS) focuses on teaching with a research component and service to the community. The teaching/service pattern (TS) focuses on teaching and service only. The successful candidate for this role will be hired into the teaching/scholarship/service pattern (TSS). An option to change work patterns after tenure is available.
