Position Highlights

The Department of Computer Science at the University of Arizona is accepting applications from dedicated educators for Lecturer track faculty positions at all ranks. Teaching faculty are critical to the mission of the department 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 may available for interested faculty for additional compensation.

Lecturers at all ranks teach both core and elective undergraduate courses and actively participate in departmental faculty meetings, decision-making, planning, and service. The Lecturer teaching track is non-tenure-eligible but offers a well-defined promotion path. Applicants must have an M.S. or a Ph.D. in Computer Science or a closely related discipline. Candidates will be considered for appointment at the Lecturer, Senior Lecturer, or Principal Lecturer ranks 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.

As of Fall 2025, the Department of Computer Science has 29 faculty members, including 10 Career-Track faculty. The Department has a long history of excellent undergraduate and graduate instruction and research accomplishments with an enthusiastic student body.
