Forwarding an interdisciplinary position searching for a data scientist/CS/data analytics, but is open to people with those skills from any PhD area.
I was a visiting professor here and really loved it. The college is minutes from a major national park and my office overlooked the ocean.
Salud,
Carrie
As the only faculty member in a non-departmental, interdisciplinary college, the new hire will have tremendous pedagogical and academic freedom. We're looking for a creative teacher/scholar who will enjoy teaching a wide range of classes to motivated students with diverse interests. I'm excited to work with the successful candidate.
While it is essential that the new faculty member have a strong background in computing, the particular disciplines and areas they've worked in is super wide open.

Thanks for your help!

Faculty Member in Interdisciplinary Computing
The College of the Atlantic (COA) seeks a full-time permanent faculty member in Interdisciplinary Computing. The anticipated start date is Fall 2025. The successful candidate will be the only faculty member teaching in this area at COA. The faculty member will offer a range of classes to help students gain basic to advanced programming skills, while exposing them to the styles of thought and habits of mind associated with coding and computing. The faculty member is expected to help students make connections between computing and other areas of the curriculum, including the arts and humanities as well as the natural and social sciences.
In addition to introductory and intermediate programming classes, we are interested in a candidate who can offer engaging courses that explore the intersections of computer science and computing with different aspects of the human experience and academic and creative areas. As the only faculty member in computing in a non-departmental, interdisciplinary college, the person who fills this position will have tremendous pedagogical and intellectual freedom. We're looking for a creative teacher/scholar who would enjoy teaching a wide range of classes to motivated students with diverse interests.
The faculty member must have a Ph.D. or equivalent terminal degree. Candidates from a broad range of backgrounds are encouraged to apply; relevant training for this position could come from computer science, engineering, computational science, applied mathematics, physics, and related fields, as well as emerging, interdisciplinary areas such as Artificial Intelligence, Complex Systems, Network Science, Computational Social Science, Data Science, Digital Humanities, and Digital Arts. Candidates must demonstrate potential for excellent and inclusive teaching. Essential qualifications for this position are a background in computing and an enthusiastic focus on developing creative ways to teach computing and its applications to students with a wide range of backgrounds and goals.
College of the Atlantic is an interdisciplinary college of approximately 350 undergraduate students and 30 faculty members. Its oceanfront campus is adjacent to Acadia National Park. COA's faculty are not organized by departments, and all students design their own major in human ecology. The average class size is 13. Faculty teach five courses a year distributed across three ten-week terms; faculty also advise students, direct independent studies and final projects, and contribute to the shared governance of the college. Faculty positions are unranked, and COA does not have a tenure system. Instead, all faculty members are periodically reviewed on a fixed schedule, with positive reviews leading to continued appointments of successively longer durations.
College of the Atlantic (COA) is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to fostering learning and working environments free from discrimination. The college adheres to all applicable state and federal equal opportunity laws and regulations. In employment, admissions, and access to our educational programs, COA does not discriminate on the basis of age, race, color, sex or gender (including gender identity and expression), pregnancy, sexual orientation, religion, religious practices, mental or physical disability, genetic predisposition, national or ethnic origin, citizenship status, veteran status, marital or partnership status, or any other legally protected status.
Interested candidates should submit a CV, a cover letter addressing interest in and qualifications for the position, and a brief statement of teaching that includes a discussion of the roles of computer science in an interdisciplinary curriculum and your approach to and experience with teaching diverse learners. The CV should include contact information for three professional references; please do not have references send letters. For full consideration, please submit all application materials as a single pdf file to cs-s...@coa.edu by December 2, 2024. Questions about the search should be directed to Dave Feldman, search committee chair, at dfel...@coa.edu.
