Elon University’s Department of Computer Science invites applications for a full-time Tenure or Lecture Track position, beginning mid- August 2022. Applications are welcome from all areas of specialization within Computer Science.


Tenure Track applicants must have a Ph.D. in Computer Science or a closely related field prior to the start date and must demonstrate an ability to maintain an active research agenda that includes an interest
in mentoring undergraduate research projects. Faculty in Tenure Track typically teach six courses per year.


Lecture Track applicants must have at least a Master’s degree in Computer Science or a closely related field prior to the start date. Lecture Track faculty are expected to teach seven courses per year and are

Elon University seeks faculty able to support our teacher-scholar-mentor model of student engagement. In each track, successful candidates must demonstrate strong interest in teaching at the undergraduate

faculty scholarship. Teaching will include courses in the Computer Science curricula (please refer to department website) and courses in the Elon Core Curriculum. Candidates who have experience working
with a diverse range of people, and who can contribute to the climate of inclusivity are encouraged to identify their experiences in their cover letter. Elon is a dynamic private, coeducational, comprehensive
