Department: International Engineering College Vacancy ID: 043703 Closing Date: 16-Sep-2026

We are seeking an excellent academic to join our staff as an Assistant Professor / Lecturer in the Department of Computer Science and in the International Engineering College (IEC). The individual selected for the position should possess a demonstrated track record in teaching, research, and publication that aligns with their career stage. They will be expected to make a strong contribution to the teaching programme of the IEC in Fuzhou, China. While most teaching responsibilities will be based over a semester at the IEC, the candidate who is selected must also anticipate spending the remainder of the working year on the Maynooth University campus. Teaching duties will encompass both undergraduate and postgraduate programs, along with active involvement in supervisory roles for master's and PhD students.

This position is open to applicants of all disciplines within the field of computer science, but we would welcome applicants with expertise in the areas of theoretical computer science, software verification and software engineering, multimedia technologies including VR, audio or image processing, machine learning and AI, computer vision, and robotics. The successful candidates will play key roles in the development and enhancement of a European pedagogical approach to the delivery of the academic curriculum in the IEC.

The appointee will be expected to sustain and conduct research, engage in scholarship of quality and substance, and generate publications of an international standard. The appointee will be expected to build a strong research profile, that supports Maynooth university’s research strategy including affiliating to its research institutes where appropriate and working with colleagues on national and international research projects. The candidate will be expected to seek and, where feasible, facilitate links between research activities in Maynooth University and Fuzhou University.

The IEC provides substantial financial assistance for the faculty members teaching in Fuzhou. In addition, a professional programme (project) management team provides operational support to faculty, both in Ireland and China. The University and the department have also established mechanisms and funding to assist faculty in building their research profile.

The standard agreement involves spending one semester at International Engineering College (IEC) and the remaining academic year at Maynooth University.
