[CPM-SPIRE-L] Job Posting at Butler University

[Travis Gagie]

We invite applications for a tenure-track position at the Assistant
Professor level in Computer Science and/or Software Engineering, with an
anticipated start date of August 15th, 2022.



Applicants are required to have at least a master's degree or the
equivalent in computer science and a Ph.D. either in computer science or in
a closely related discipline, as well as a strong commitment to teaching in
a liberal arts environment.  An ongoing research program is required.
Salary and fringe benefits are competitive and commensurate with
qualifications.



Butler is first and foremost an institution that prides itself on
excellence in teaching.  The successful candidate for this tenure-track
position will be expected to teach a variety of courses in computer science
at the undergraduate level.  In particular, the ability to teach systems
courses is preferred.  Alternative pedagogical styles and innovative
approaches in the classroom are encouraged, and contributing to building an
inclusive learning environment for an increasingly diverse student
population is expected.  As mentioned above, an active research program is
also required, and the area of specialization is open.  Research that
approaches the discipline from a new perspective (like removing gender or
racial bias in image processing, or accessibility issues in user interface
design) is welcome.  A research program that includes undergraduate
students is a plus.



We seek candidates whose previous work and life experiences prepare them to
contribute to our commitment to engagement and inclusion of culturally
diverse students, faculty and staff. Successful candidates will have a
demonstrated commitment to promoting diversity, inclusion and intercultural
development in a work environment and be eager to contribute to inclusion
efforts on campus.
