The Computer Science Department at Harvey Mudd College intends to appoint two tenure-track assistant professors of computer science commencing July 1, 2012. Successful applicants should provide evidence of excellence in teaching and a research program that can be sustained in a college setting, ideally involving undergraduates. Candidates in all areas of computer science will be considered. A candidate’s commitment to contributing to a diverse learning environment will also be considered.
Harvey Mudd College is a highly-selective undergraduate college (770 students) emphasizing science, mathematics, and engineering. It is a member of the Claremont Consortium that includes four other colleges and two graduate schools. The Department of Computer Science currently has nine permanent faculty members and serves three major programs (computer science, a joint major with mathematics, and a second joint major in mathematical and computational biology) with a total of approximately 50 majors in each graduating class. Most classes are relatively small and the teaching load is typically four courses per year on the semester system and supervision of a senior capstone “clinic” project. Visit www.cs.hmc.edu for more information about the department and the clinic program.
Applicants should respond with a cover letter that describes the candidate’s interests in joining the faculty at Harvey Mudd, a curriculum vitae, a statement regarding teaching philosophy and experience (along with any supporting materials such as teaching evaluations), and a similar statement on research interests. Where applicable, applicants are encouraged to describe evidence that they can contribute to the college’s efforts to support a diverse community through mentoring or other activities.
Concurrently, please ask three references to submit reference letters using the secure web-based system below. It is desirable for at least some letters of reference to address the candidate’s potential as a teacher.
All application materials should be submitted through the Academicjobsonline system at: https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/921
Harvey Mudd College is an Equal Opportunity Employer and is committed to the recruitment of candidates traditionally underrepresented on college faculties.
Applications received by January 1, 2012 will receive full consideration.
