Valparaiso University invites applications for the position of Lecturer in the Department of Computing and Information Sciences in the College of Arts and Sciences (https://www.valpo.edu/college-of-arts-and-sciences/) to begin in Fall 2025. Valparaiso University (“Valpo”), a community of learning grounded in the Lutheran tradition of scholarship, freedom, and faith, prepares students to lead and serve both church and society. Located one hour southeast of Chicago on a 310-acre campus, Valpo is a comprehensive university with an enrollment of approximately 3,000 undergraduate and graduate students. Valpo is consistently recognized as one of the best private universities in the Midwest and is located in Valparaiso Indiana, a county seat of 30,000 residents with high quality schools and an active social community.

We are seeking a candidate with a Ph.D. in Computer Science or a related field, but A.B.D. candidates will be considered. Courses to be taught are chiefly at the undergraduate level and the successful candidate will teach introductory level courses and courses in their area of expertise. The typical teaching load is 4-4. Responsibilities beyond teaching focus on departmental business, including advising, curricular review and development, student recruitment, and good campus citizenship. 

As a campus with an increasingly diverse student body, we encourage applications from individuals committed to mentoring students from underrepresented communities. Please submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, teaching statement, research statement, and contact information for three references to Interfolio at http://apply.interfolio.com/143990. In your cover letter, please include brief statements of (a) how you might contribute to the university’s distinctive mission and (b) what experiences you have had which will enable you to mentor a diverse student body. Candidates who submit names of references should expect that the search committee will contact these references in confidence and that credentials will be confirmed prior to hire. Employment will require a satisfactory criminal background check. Applications will be considered until the position is filled; however, applicants are encouraged to apply by May 1, 2024 for timely consideration.
