elizabethtown college Assistant or Associate Professor of Computer Science

Elizabethtown College invites applications for a tenure-track position in Computer Science, beginning August 2009. A Ph.D. in Computer Science or related field at the time of appointment is required. Duties include teaching of undergraduate Computing courses at both introductory and advanced levels, academic advising, scholarship, and institutional service (e.g., on faculty governance committees). Appointment at the Associate level is possible for a very well-qualified, experienced individual. Computing Science at Elizabethtown affirms the College’s commitment to breadth in academic offerings, with well-established Bachelor of Science programs in Computer Science, Information Systems, and Computer Engineering (which, along with other Engineering programs, is currently a candidate for ABET accreditation), and minors in Computer Science and Information Systems. The relatively small size of the College en-

courages close cooperation among disciplines; in particular, there is a history of Computing working cooperatively with many other disciplines, including (but not limited to) its traditional cognates of Mathematics, Business, and Engineering. The successful candidate will have a strong commitment to undergraduate teaching and advising in an academically stimulating, supportive environment that offers a wide range of curricular options. Specifically, although some research specialization is expected in candidates, teaching excellence in multiple areas of Computing, and demonstrated understanding of Computing as a discipline of considerable breadth, will weigh more heavily than narrowly-focused research strength in one particular sub-discipline. Furthermore, given the close, cooperative relationship between Computing and Engineering, and the ABET accreditation candidacy of the latter, it is hoped that individuals having documented familiarity with Engineering will find this opportunity particularly interesting. Located in southeastern Pennsylvania, Elizabethtown College offers its 2,000 students more than 47 academic programs in the liberal arts, sciences and professional studies. Driven by its motto to “Educate for Service,” Elizabethtown centers learning in strong relationships, links classroom instruction with experiential learning, emphasizes international and cross-cultural perspectives and nurtures the capacity for lives of purpose and leadership as global citizens. For more information, consult http://www.etown.edu/. To apply, candidates should send a letter of interest, contact information, a CV that includes a list of courses taught, and the names and contact information of at least three references to: Elizabethtown College, Attn: Human Resources, One Alpha Drive, Elizabethtown, PA [e-mail] For more information visit: www.etown.edu/humanre-sources Review of applications will begin October 1, 2008.
