CIS Lecturer Positions 2027

The University of Pennsylvania’s Department of Computer and Information Science is pleased to welcome applications for teaching positions as a Lecturer or Senior Lecturer. It is a very exciting time to be engaged in computer science education at Penn, as we are developing new curricular programming to embrace artificial intelligence’s increased role in the field. We are also developing multiple new on-campus and online learning programs.

We are seeking dedicated, accomplished, full-time instructors to teach undergraduate electives and Master’s-level courses, particularly in areas such as software engineering, artificial intelligence and data science, theoretical computer science, computer graphics, and cybersecurity, starting in July 2027. We seek individuals who promote and welcome wide-ranging viewpoints and experiences, and who will work closely with students of all backgrounds.

Additionally (see separate job posting), as part of our revamped teaching-track faculty career path, we also have an open Practice Assistant Professor position. This is a great career choice for teaching-focused faculty members who have a track record of published research in engineering education and are interested in developing and publishing on innovative pedagogical techniques.
