The Department of Computer Science at the University of Chicago is seeking qualified applicants for the position of part-time Adjunct Professor (open rank) to teach in its Masters Program in Computer Science (MPCS, https://masters.cs.uchicago.edu).

The search is open with respect to subfield, but we encourage applications from practitioners and educators in the fields of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, Computer Systems. More specifically, the MPCS has specific programmatic needs in Generative AI, High-Performance Computing, and Computer Security.

Selected candidates will be appointed as Adjunct Assistant Professor, Adjunct Associate Professor, or Adjunct Professor, depending on qualifications. Adjunct faculty are appointed to an initial one-year term, with possibility of renewal to a three or five year term, and are typically expected to teach at least one course per academic year.

This position is part-time and is not benefits-eligible. Compensation is paid on a per-course basis in the teaching quarter(s). Applicants must currently be authorized to work in the U.S.

Courses are held for nine weeks during each academic quarter, with the tenth week for a final project or exam. Instruction is expected to be primarily in person, with some limited opportunities to offer remote or hybrid courses. Courses can meet in the daytime (meeting 2-3 times a week for a total of up to three hours) or in the evening (meeting once per week for up to three hours). The exact day(s)/time(s) are determined in consultation with the adjunct faculty member.

While university-level teaching experience is preferred, it is not strictly required. Successful applicants without university-level teaching experience will receive coaching and mentoring from more senior instructors before and during a new hire\'s first course.
