  POSITION DESCRIPTION
  
  The Department of Computer Science and Engineering (https://engineering.ucsc.edu/departments/computer-science-and-engineering) at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC), invites applications for multiple Assistant and Associate Teaching Professor positions. The successful candidates will develop and teach courses within the undergraduate and graduate curricula with a focus in one or more of the following fields: Programming, Software Engineering, Computer Systems, Operating Systems, Hardware, Computer Architectures, and Machine Learning. Selected candidates will develop programs of academic scholarship in either or both engineering pedagogy and their technical areas of specialty. As educational leaders in one of the largest Computer Science programs in the US, selected candidates will become leaders of curriculum and pedagogical development in the department and the school, and will be well poised to impact CS pedagogy at a national level.
  
  The working title of this position is Assistant or Associate Teaching Professor, while the payroll titles are Lecturer with Potential Security of Employment or Lecturer with Security of Employment. These titles are used differently at the University of California than at some other institutions. Important facts to note are: these positions have all the rights and responsibilities of membership in the Academic Senate; "Security of Employment'' is directly analogous to tenure; and the positions earn sabbatical credit and have summer flexibility. Faculty in these positions have Principal Investigator status for the purpose of grant applications and administration. Faculty in these positions, as with all faculty, are regularly reviewed for further advancement and salary increases. The Security of Employment series is evaluated on achievements in the areas of teaching, professional scholarship and activity, and University and public service as set by the University of California system.
  
  The Department of Computer Science and Engineering is part of the Baskin School of Engineering at UC Santa Cruz. Our school has nationally and internationally known researchers in many areas, including theoretical computer science, programming languages, security, distributed systems, storage systems, computer architectures, machine learning, natural language processing, vision, VLSI, and networking. Several research centers contribute to the intellectual vibrancy of the university, including the Center for Research in Open Source Software, Center for Cyberphysical Systems Research, Center for Computational Experience, and others. The Baskin School of Engineering is home to six departments, contributing to the richness of its research. Nestled in a redwood forest above the city of Santa Cruz, our beautiful campus has a long history of embracing groundbreaking interdisciplinary work. Our campus is the nearest University of California campus to Silicon Valley and has close research ties with the local computer industry. Our proximity to Silicon Valley, and our satellite campus there, afford opportunities and avenues for collaboration with researchers working in the many research and development labs in Silicon Valley, as well as with the other San Francisco Bay Area universities.
  
  UC Santa Cruz values diversity, equity, and inclusion and is committed to hiring faculty who will work to support these values. UC Santa Cruz is a Minority-serving Institution (MSI) with a high proportion of first-in-family students. To be considered, candidates must demonstrate an understanding of the barriers facing women, people of color, and other groups underrepresented in engineering, as well as describe their experience and future plans to promote equity and inclusion in teaching, mentoring, and scholarship. Efforts supporting equity and inclusion at UC Santa Cruz will be recognized as important during the merit review and promotion process. The selected candidate will receive a start-up package that includes funding in support of furthering Diversity, Equity and Inclusion efforts.
  
  UC Santa Cruz is a member of the Association of American Universities (AAU, an association of the top research universities in the US), a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI), a member of the Alliance of Hispanic-Serving Research Universities (HRSU), a member of the Computing Alliance of Hispanic-Serving Institutions (CAHSI), an Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institution (AANAPISI), and a member of several identity and ethnic affinity professional societies. Broadening participation in engineering, and equitably and inclusively serving underrepresented minoritized students are key values at UC Santa Cruz. Selected candidates will have multiple opportunities to participate in programs that contribute to enhancing the diversity of our student body, increasing its inclusivity, and working to promote equitable outcomes for our students.
  
  The chosen candidates will be expected to sign a statement representing that they are not the subject of any ongoing investigation or disciplinary proceeding at their current academic institution or place of employment, nor have they in the past ten years been formally disciplined at any academic institution/place of employment. In the event the candidates cannot make this representation, they will be expected to disclose in writing to the hiring Dean the circumstances surrounding any formal discipline that they have received, as well as any current or ongoing investigation or disciplinary process of which they are the subject. (Note that discipline includes a negotiated settlement agreement to resolve a matter related to substantiated misconduct.)
