CIS Lecturer Positions 2025

The University of Pennsylvanias Department of Computer & Information Science is pleased to welcome applications for multiple 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 experiencing incredible growth and interest in CS courses at all levels, are developing new on-campus and online learning programs, and are rapidly growing the size of our faculty (over 20 hires in the last 5 years).

We are seeking dedicated, accomplished, full-time instructors to teach introductory-sequence courses, undergraduate electives, and Master’s-level courses in software engineering, data science, machine learning, artificial intelligence, software systems, cyber security, and other areas, starting in July 2025 .

Applicants are encouraged to apply for any/all positions for which they think they may be qualified.

We seek individuals who embrace and reflect diversity in the broadest sense. Our faculty participate in departmental and schoolwide efforts to promote and welcome wide-ranging viewpoints and experiences, and they work closely with students of all backgrounds. We request a discussion of candidates’ experiences in establishing and maintaining supportive environments for diverse student communities, as well as how they envision participating in efforts to ensure Penn students with different backgrounds have strong mentoring and a supportive environment.
