Kenyon College seeks to fill a two-year visiting position at the assistant professor level in the Interdisciplinary Program in Computing beginning July 2024. A Ph.D. in Computer Science is preferred, but ABD’s will be considered. Prior teaching experience at a U.S. college or university or an equivalent institution is strongly preferred.

The typical teaching load is five courses per year. Kenyon has a strong commitment to student-centered learning; thus, we will be particularly interested in candidates with experience in active learning techniques. All areas of specialty will be considered.
