The posting

Calvin University invites applications for a full-time regular (tenure-track) faculty member to join the Computer Science Department to teach lower- and upper-level courses in computer science beginning on July 1, 2027 (pending administrative approval).

REQUIREMENTS

The university seeks applicants with vibrant Christian faith who are dedicated to integration of that faith with their field of study.

Ideal candidates will hold a PhD in computer science, data science, or a related field. Candidates with a master’s degree in computer science and five years of relevant experience will also be considered.

Candidates are expected to demonstrate excellence in teaching at the undergraduate level and have an active stream of relevant research and publication. Preference will be given to candidates with experience teaching using a variety of methods and instructional technology.

The university will prioritize candidates with broad interdisciplinary interests, demonstrated commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, ability to integrate questions of meaning, significance, and ethics into all course content, and deep commitment to engaging students beyond the classroom.

FACULTY RESPONSIBILITIES

Faculty members typically teach 24 semester hours per academic year. Faculty are expected to grow in Reformed Christian commitment, to pursue an active scholarly agenda, to teach effectively, and to serve the university, department, students, and the wider community. Candidates will be asked to affirm their commitment to the educational mission of Calvin University as a Christian liberal arts university in the Reformed tradition, affiliated with the Christian Reformed Church. (See Educating for Shalom and Faculty Expectations.) Calvin University provides numerous faculty development opportunities to foster growth in these commitments.

FACULTY RESOURCES

Calvin University stands at the forefront of Christian scholarship across disciplines. The university hosts a number of Centers and Institutes and provides other funding opportunities to support faculty teaching and research, including sabbaticals, grants, course releases, summer research stipends, travel funds, and student research opportunities.

ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT

The Department of Computer Science includes six full-time faculty and a full-time systems engineer to support classes and research in the department. Computer Science especially seeks candidates in machine learning or cybersecurity, but candidates in all fields are encouraged to apply. The department offers a minor, a Cybersecurity certificate program, and two majors, including a BCS degree accredited by ABET. Jointly with the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, it offers a major in data science which includes courses in programming, statistics, machine learning, visualization, ethics, and various electives. The department features supportive colleagues, excellent facilities, disciplined students, including many international students, support for women in STEM, and strong undergraduate majors.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
