Description

Hillsdale College invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor or Associate Professor of Computer Science beginning in August 2027.  The teaching load is three courses per semester at all levels of the undergraduate curriculum.

Hillsdale College is a small (1500 students), fiercely independent Christian liberal arts college dedicated to the perpetuation of freedom through serious learning and moral formation. It is committed to the Western intellectual tradition and requires genuine excellence in undergraduate teaching. Applicants should familiarize themselves with the College’s mission statement: https://www.hillsdale.edu/about/mission/. 

The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science offers majors in mathematics and applied mathematics, and minors in mathematics and computer science.  The department graduates approximately 35 majors per year, an extraordinarily high number for a liberal arts college of our size and enjoys a high degree of student engagement in extracurricular activities such as the Artificial Intelligence Society, colloquium series, mathematics honor society, problem-solving seminar, and applied mathematics club.
