The Department of Computer Science at the University of Regina invites

level, starting July 1, 2021 (with teaching to commence in the Fall  
2021 semester).

Candidates are expected to hold a Ph.D. at the commencement of the  
appointment. The responsibilities of a Lecturer are normally teaching  
and teaching-related duties, research and scholarship, and service.  
The expectations in research and scholarship are to focus on  
activities that ensure currency and engagement in the discipline,  
especially pedagogy. Service contributions should be focused on  
committees and other service that is in support of teaching and  
pedagogy. The teaching load for this position will be six courses per  
year.

In particular, we are seeking candidates that are committed to  
excellence in teaching, and are able to teach courses both within our  
core undergraduate program as well as in our graduate program. In our  
undergraduate program, the successful candidates will be expected to  
teach several core courses at all levels from subject areas including  
(but not limited to) Algorithms & Data Structures,  Computing  
Architecture, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Human Computer  
Interaction,  Operating Systems , Programming Languages,  and Social &  
Professional Issues in Computing. In our graduate program, the  
successful candidate will be expected to teach one or two graduate  
courses per year in their area of research interest. Experience  
creating and revising course content is asset, as is experience in  
teaching large classes, online classes and managing teaching teams.

As part of the application, candidates should provide evidence of the  
depth and breadth of their teaching expertise, an established teaching  
philosophy, three references, and a statement of how their research  
interests inform their teaching. Candidates should provide an outline  
of their research interests, and the description of at least one  
graduate course that can be taught based on this research. Candidates  
should demonstrate a commitment to academic service through committee  
work, peer review activities, and the support of other academic work.

Applications must be submitted online at https://urcareers.uregina.ca  
by January 15 2021, and should include a cover letter, a curriculum  
vitae, and statements on teaching, research, and service as outlined  
in the previous paragraph.

All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadian  
citizens and permanent residents of Canada will be given priority. The  
University of Regina is committed to an inclusive workplace that  
reflects the richness of the community that we serve. The University
