Career-Track; Teaching Faculty in Computer Science

The Department of Computer Science at the University of Arizona is accepting applications from dedicated educators for non‑tenure‑eligible, career‑track (teaching) faculty positions at all ranks. Teaching faculty are vital to the department's mission and are appointed with the expectation of long‑term employment. The typical teaching load is four courses per academic year (two per semester); however, factors such as class size may reduce that load.

Summer teaching is available for interested faculty for additional compensation.

Career‑track faculty at all ranks teach both core and elective undergraduate courses and actively participate in departmental faculty meetings, decision‑making, planning, and service.

Career‑Track faculty positions offer a well‑defined promotion path along two tracks. Applicants for the Professor of Practice track must have earned a Ph.D. in Computer Science or a closely related discipline by the time of appointment, while applicants for the Lecturer track must have earned an M.S. or Ph.D. in the same field. Candidates will be considered for appointment at the appropriate rank based on experience and evidence of teaching quality and effectiveness.

We are especially interested in candidates who can teach undergraduate courses in Artificial Intelligence (AI). However, we welcome strong applicants from all areas of computer science. Candidates with a demonstrated commitment to excellent teaching and student engagement—regardless of specialization—are strongly encouraged to apply.

Outstanding UA benefits include health, dental, and vision insurance plans; life insurance and disability programs; sick leave and holidays; UA/ASU/NAU tuition reduction for the employee and qualified family members; retirement plans; access to UA recreation and cultural activities; and more!
