Job Description:

Since its founding in 1885, Goucher College has been a place of innovation and excellence. As a private, non-profit liberal arts college of approximately 1,000 undergraduate and 900 graduate students, Goucher is dedicated to teaching students to become complex problem-solvers prepared for the jobs of the future. Small class sizes, a rigorous curriculum, and dedicated faculty and staff allow for personalized mentorship of each student. Named one of the most innovative colleges in the country by U.S. News & World Report, Goucher is a leader in global education and was one of the first, and remains one of the only, colleges in the U.S. to provide 100% of its students with the opportunity to study abroad at no additional charge.

We invite applications for a tenure track open rank (assistant or associate) professor position in Computer Science or Data Science within the Department of Computer and Data Science, to begin in August 2025. We plan to make two hires to support our growing department. The Computer Science program offers a firm foundation in the discipline while supporting many options for students’ future career paths. The Data Science program offers a foundational Data Science curriculum complemented with interdisciplinary learning paths. The department offers a broad range of courses including Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Cyber Security, and foundational math courses such as Calculus and Statistics. Applicants able to teach a variety of these courses and contribute to both programs are highly encouraged to apply. Both programs support students who come to our classrooms with various backgrounds and goals.

The Department of Computer and Data Science is also an integral part of an emerging graduate program in Applied Policy Analysis. This highly interdisciplinary master’s program brings together faculty from economics, data science, and public policy to work with students on advanced analytical tools to answer a variety of data-related policy questions while also effectively communicating how data science can be used to find potential solutions to policy-related issues. New hires with expertise in this area may have additional opportunities within the graduate program.

The ideal candidate will have a terminal degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Data Analytics, Statistics, or Applied Mathematics. Rank will be determined by the applicant’s qualifications and prior experience. All candidates must be committed to excellence in teaching. Candidates who have experience or interest in using active, inclusive teaching pedagogies will be preferred, as will candidates who can involve undergraduate students in their ongoing research programs. The teaching load consists of five four-credit courses per year.
