Overview
The School of Computing and Engineering at Quinnipiac University prides itself in its excellence in education. Evidence of this excellence can be seen in everything from student success in obtaining high-quality internships and full-time positions, to the number of faculty members in the School who have earned University-wide awards for excellence in teaching. With the recent growth of our MS in Cybersecurity and our undergraduate computing degrees, and the introduction of an MS in Computer Science this last year, we are also seeing increased interest and institutional support in scholarship and grant-writing. This will be an important additional avenue for us to further our mission.
We are seeking candidates with a passion for teaching and a strong research agenda to join the faculty in a full-time tenure-track position in Computer Science at the Assistant Professor level starting Fall of 2025. The position is also available for candidates who can start in the Spring of 2025. Although candidates with expertise in all areas of Computer Science will be considered, those with research and teaching interest in game development and programming are highly encouraged to apply.
