Job ID: 47782

College/School: Chicago, IL - Jarvis College of Computing & Digital Media

Responsibilities:

DePaul's Jarvis College of Computing & Digital Media (CDM) is located in the heart of Chicago's Loop, the central business district of Chicago. CDM students come from a variety of backgrounds and cultures; therefore, CDM is interested in recruiting and maintaining a diverse faculty. Part-time teaching positions are available throughout the academic year, including summer sessions. Academic course schedules fluctuate from quarter to quarter, and the college will work with selected individuals to determine a quarterly schedule. Courses are not guaranteed, however, the college does its best to give ample notice about available courses. Applicants with expertise that matches course scheduling needs will be contacted for an interview.

The School of Computing (SoC) offers a variety of undergraduate and graduate programs including Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, Data Science, Game Programming, Health Informatics, Human-Computer Interaction, Information Systems, Information Technology, Intelligent Systems Engineering, Network Engineering and Security, and Software Engineering. Find out more about SoC at https://www.cdm.depaul.edu/academics/Pages/School-of-Computing.aspx.

Required Qualifications

Minimum requirements include a master's degree in the discipline, or 18 semester/27 quarter hours of graduate work in the discipline, or an undergraduate degree with a minimum of five years demonstrated relevant professional experience. Exceptions may be considered with approval of the dean.

The candidate must have demonstrated experience in working in teaching in a diverse learning environment.

Special Instructions to Applicants

The BS in Cyber-Physical Systems Engineering program prepares students for engineering systems that integrate physical processes, computation, and control. The BS in Cyber-Physical Systems Engineering is a hybrid program between traditional Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and generalist Engineering programs. Just like any engineering program, it has rigorous math and science requirements and a focus on building systems based on theoretical foundations and fundamental engineering design principles. Unlike most engineering programs, it is multi-disciplinary and includes a broad and deep foundation in computer science and software development.

We are looking for instructors with an engineering background who can teach courses on embedded systems, electromagnetism and electronic circuits, signals and signal processing, linear physical systems and feedback control, and/or the design of reliable cyber-physical systems.

Considerations

Exceptions to standard rates may apply to courses with unique credit hours, supervision, labs, clinical/practicum courses, coaching, administrative tasks, and courses that are either over-enrolled or under-enrolled.
