Guilford College invites applications for a full-time faculty

Extension of the contract length is possible. Guilford's CTIS

providing foundational knowledge across the computer science and
cyber and network security curriculum with a specific emphasis on
student projects in many courses that allow for the development of
a substantial technical portfolio.
This position is a wonderful opportunity to explore teaching and
professional development at a small college and in a supportive and
innovative environment. The faculty teaching load at Guilford
College is three courses per semester, and the successful candidate
will have the opportunity to teach in a variety of areas such as
cybersecurity, operating systems, networking, software development
and design, and others. Class sizes typically range from 10-25
students reflecting the diversity of the college, with each class
typically including traditional-aged students, continuing students,
and advanced high-school learners in the nationally recognized
Early College at Guilford. Guilford College places its strongest
emphasis on high quality teaching and opportunities will be
available to mentor student research projects, supervise
internships, team-teach courses, and participate in any number of
cross-disciplinary collaborative activities. The college's novel
Center for Principled Problem Solving and Excellence in Teaching
supports many disciplinary, interdisciplinary, and community-based
educational and faculty development initiatives.
Guilford College is a gem of a liberal arts college with top notch
faculty, strong community, a broad range of excellent academic
programs, and an innovative curriculum and academic calendar that
emphasizes teaching excellence and building strong relationships
with students to foster curiosity and academic growth. Located in
Greensboro, NC, the college is a few hours from the Atlantic coast
and Blue Ridge mountains. Guilford has a Bonner Scholars Program,
an organic farm, and a beautiful campus, including 200 acres of
woods, that is on the National Register of Historical Places and
recognized as an important Underground Railroad site.
A masters degree in a relevant discipline is required, a PhD or
other terminal degree is preferred. Successful experience in
college teaching and/or in a work-related field are also preferred.
Candidates should be able to demonstrate the ability to help
diverse students develop skills that will allow them to pursue
careers or graduate research in fields such as cyber and network
security, information systems, computer science, human-computer
interaction, and software development.
The CTIS department wholeheartedly supports Guilford College's
