Position Title/Short Description

Full Text of JOE Listing:

Goucher College invites applications for an open rank (Assistant/Associate/Professor of Practice) professor position in Data Science within the Department of Computer Science and Data Science. The Data Science program offers a foundational Data Science curriculum complemented with interdisciplinary learning paths. Students can choose to study purely in data and computer sciences or specialize in another discipline such as economics, sociology, political science, or public health. Students choosing to specialize in another discipline apply data analysis, mathematical modeling, and computational techniques from courses such as Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to solve complex problems in that discipline. Future plans include expanding the Data Science curriculum with new specializations and adding a graduate degree program in the 2023-24 academic year.

The ideal candidate will have a terminal degree in a field focused on the application and analysis of data within a particular context, including the fields of data and computer science, statistics, the physical and social sciences, and public health. Candidates who can contribute to new specializations within Goucher's existing programs will be preferred. Candidates must be capable of teaching existing Data Science courses at all curricular levels and will teach five four-credit courses per year. Ongoing scholarly activity and service are also required. Rank will be determined by the applicant's qualifications and prior experience.
