They have a passion for excellent teaching and curricular design. Teaching responsibilities include topics ranging from Introduction to Programming to Algorithms and Data Structures, including current developments in these fields. We are looking for a team-oriented and committed personality whose research activities offer links to other research groups at the School of Computer Science, as well as to institutes across research fields represented at the University of St. Gallen. The successful candidate should become an active member of the faculty and be eager to engage in outreach activities with diverse stakeholder groups (e.g., schools, company partners). Ideally, they should have experience in acquiring external funding from private entities or public funding bodies.

Candidates should submit their application, including a cover letter, curriculum vitae, teaching portfolio, research statement, publication list, and the names of three individuals who could be contacted to provide references, in electronic form to the President of the University of St. Gallen, Prof. Dr. Manuel Ammann (online via https://www.unisg.ch/professorships ). The teaching portfolio should provide a well-rounded overview of the candidate’s past teaching engagement, for example through a teaching statement, existing curricular scope, examples of teaching innovations, and reflections on course evaluations. It should also discuss the intended correspondence with the current teaching program of the School of Computer Science. This position can potentially be combined with an additional research-oriented position (up to 50%) at the Institute or School of Computer Science of the University of St. Gallen (subject to separate arrangement), and candidates interested in such an arrangement are encouraged to contact us. For further information about the position, please contact Prof. Dr. Simon Mayer, Chair of the Appointment Committee (via email at facultyposition@unisg.ch ). The deadline for applications is April 20, 2026. Appointment talks are scheduled for June 15, 2026, and we ask interested candidates to reserve this date. We seek to fill the advertised position as of February 1, 2027, or by mutual agreement.
