SUPERVISION RECEIVED: Reports to the Chair of Mathematics and Computer Sciences
POSITION SUMMARY: Moravian College, a member of The New American Colleges and Universities (NAC&U) located in historic Bethlehem, Pennsylvania invites applications for the director of Data Science, who will develop new programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels. With an established undergraduate Computer Science program and a Masters-level graduate program in Predictive Analytics, along with established relationships with regional health care, pharmaceutical, and insurance companies, the new programs will target traditional undergraduates and adult learners who wish to enter the field from other careers. Nestled in the Lehigh Valley, historic Bethlehem offers the charm of a small historic city in a valley of over one million people, 2 hours from New York City and 1 hour from Philadelphia.
The College seeks a candidate with teaching, scholarship, and administrative experience that will work with the associate provost, dean of natural and health sciences, and chairs of computer science and mathematics to develop the curriculum and a business plan for new graduate and undergraduate programs in Data Science. In addition, this position will teach courses at the undergraduate and graduate level. The typical teaching load for faculty is three courses per semester, but it is anticipated that the successful candidate will have course reassignments to enable the development and implementation of new programs. Preference will be given to candidates with a Ph.D. in Data Science, Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, or a related field, and a track record of developing courses or programs for Data Science. Rank will be commensurate with experience and qualifications.
Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.
TO APPLY: Qualified candidates should attach a cover letter describing administrative experience appropriate for leading a new program, experience working with undergraduate and graduate students; evidence of a commitment to inclusion and educational excellence; a CV; a statement of the candidate's vision of how a New American College can bring Data Science education to undergraduate students and adult learners new to the field; a statement of research that addresses how the candidate can engage undergraduate students in their research agenda to their online application by clicking "Apply Now". Candidates should also arrange to send three (3) letters of recommendation to datasciencesearch@moravian.edu. Please attach documents as a PDF file.
