The Muhlenberg College Department of Mathematics and Computer Science invites applications for a tenure-track position in computer science at the assistant or associate professor level to begin in the fall of 2021. A Ph.D. in Computer Science or a closely related field is required by August 2021 and all areas of specialty will be considered. As an equal opportunity employer, Muhlenberg College is committed to recruiting and retaining outstanding faculty and staff from racial and ethnic groups that have been traditionally underrepresented in higher education.

Our Institution and Area: Muhlenberg College is a highly-selective, undergraduate liberal arts institution of 2,200 students located in Allentown, PA, about 50 miles north of Philadelphia and 90 miles west of New York City. Allentown is a diverse city of 116,000 and anchors the third-largest metropolitan area in Pennsylvania. The greater Lehigh Valley is home to a vibrant arts scene, a unique parks system, and a rich variety of ethnic restaurants.

Expectations and Resources: The most important part of a Muhlenberg professor’s job is teaching. Our college and department value pedagogies that incorporate active learning and innovative techniques. There are numerous opportunities for professional development in teaching on campus; in particular, the Muhlenberg Center for Teaching and Learning (MCTL) offers regular programming throughout the year to support and develop faculty pedagogy. The college also supports travel to pedagogical workshops and conferences. The teaching load for this position is 3 courses per semester. Our professors teach across the computer science curriculum from introductory courses to upper level electives.

Funding is available to both faculty and students to travel to disciplinary conferences.

Our department and institution are quite collegial. Faculty from different departments co-mingle through regular social events organized by the Amdur Faculty Club as well as MCTL events, informal gatherings for lunch at our dining commons, as well as through campus-wide committee work. Such service in committee work, both at the college and departmental level, is eventually expected of faculty members but typically not expected during their first year at the college.

Application Materials: A complete application will include (1) a letter of application describing your interest in our position, (2) a curriculum vitae, (3) a teaching statement describing your experience and philosophy, (4) a diversity statement that describes how you will support Muhlenberg's commitment to diversity, inclusion, and equity in a diverse learning community, (5) a research statement that includes a list of any supervised student research projects, and (6) all graduate transcripts.
