Computer Science Adjunct Instructor; TEMPORARY

Computer Science Adjunct Instructor (TEMPORARY)

Immediate Need – DVC is looking for a Computer Science instructor to teach short-term in-person classes on the Pleasant Hill Campus.

We have an immediate need for faculty to teach for a Tesla Partnership Program. The classes are in-person on the Pleasant Hill campus. Courses include Introduction to Programming (C++), Advanced C/C++ and Object-Oriented Programming in C++.

The Diablo Valley College Computer Science Department is seeking Adjunct Faculty in Computer Science/Programming. An adjunct instructional faculty member will be responsible for maintaining the highest academic standards in his/her discipline. The individual is expected to exercise professionalism and civility in all activities related to the role of academician, including duties assigned and participation with colleagues, peers, community, and students.

We are seeking people who recognize the critical role community colleges play in social justice, who have ability in this space, enthusiasm for this work, ideas and vision to improve our approaches, and a commitment to achieving equitable academic success for the 50,000+ students attending our five beautiful colleges and centers.

The intention of social justice work is to strengthen humanity by understanding that every person deserves the benefits of fully participating in our society and institutions.

Academic researchers have illustrated that crucial social justice principles are a compilation of equality, equity, diversity, inclusion, engagement, environmental sustainability and human rights. These complex principles are challenging to operationalize in higher education; yet we are steadfast in our diligence to forge ahead to advance this vital mission.

Community colleges are uniquely positioned to lead higher education in the work of social justice. Many of our students come from historically underserved and underrepresented backgrounds, including students of color, recent immigrant histories, low-income or poverty cycles, indigenous communities, and first-generation families.

The idea of promoting social mobility through education is unconditionally and uncompromisingly embraced by community colleges. This is an exciting role, and it comes with a heavy responsibility. We need to create environments where our students achieve greater academic success, closing persistent equity/opportunity gaps.

We invite those committed to social and racial justice who wish to join a community dedicated to solving these inequities through education to apply.
