The Department of Computer Science in the School
of Engineering at Tufts University invites applications for a full-time, non-tenure track Lecturer or
Visiting Faculty beginning in September 2015.
Tufts’ School of Engineering distinguishes
itself by the interdisciplinary focus and integrative nature of its engineering education within
the intellectually rich environment of a research
university. Located only six miles from historic
downtown Boston, faculty members on the Tufts
Medford/Somerville campus have extensive opportunities for academic and industrial collaboration as well as participation in the rich intellectual life of the area. The School of Engineering
is in the midst of a period of exciting growth that
has seen recruitment of outstanding new faculty,
a quadrupling of funded research over the last
ten years, addition of new laboratory space, an
emphasis on building diversity in engineering,
and major curricular initiatives at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
Review of applications will begin February 1,
2015 and continue until the position is filled.
Application materials should be submitted
online through Academic Jobs Online (AJO) at
