Operating Title

Adjunct Faculty, Spring 2025 - Computer Science

Job Description

The Computer Science Department at Keene State College seeks adjunct instructors to teach Computer Architecture and Python Programming, in-person for the Spring 2025 semester. These are part-time, non-benefitted positions.

Course Descriptions:

CS-265 Computer Architecture: This course introduces the student to the computer as an electronic device. It includes digital logic and the design of critical internal components of the computer system. Topics may also include hardware compilation, microcode, content-addressable memories, and parallel architectures.

ISCS-210 Python Programming introduces computational thinking using Python, with an emphasis on problem solving through computer science. The course focuses on data manipulation and analysis, allowing students to work on real problems using actual data sets. It is designed to engage both majors and non-majors in improving critical thinking skills through practice.

Our students come from diverse socio-economic and educational backgrounds, with a high percentage of first-generation college students. By the time Keene State College students complete their undergraduate experience they develop critical thinking, creative inquiry, intercultural competence, civic engagement, and commitments to well-being and to sustainability that will serve them as active citizens and lifelong learners. We strongly encourage individuals to apply who will support the College’s ongoing efforts to help students become responsible global citizens.

At Keene State College, we share a commitment to diversity, equity, and multiculturalism as key elements of academic excellence. We seek faculty with a desire to provide support, mentorship, and direction to prepare students to work within diverse communities. One of our aspirations is to develop social change agents with the knowledge, skills, and experience to compassionately engage with their future employers, peers, and those they serve from diverse backgrounds.
