Tulane University is a private Carnegie-R1 university and a member of the prestigious Association of American Universities (AAU). Tulane brings together bold and creative scholars, scientists and students who are committed to crossing boundaries. Data-intensive discovery lies at the heart of research and education at Tulane and is fueled by Tulane's new Connolly Alexander Institute for Data Science. Tulane resides in historic New Orleans, Louisiana – a city that takes the utmost pride in its vibrant music scene, world-class restaurants, rich confluence of cultures and traditions, and festive Mardi Gras parades. "The things that make life worth living – eating, drinking and the making of merriment – are the air that New Orleans breathes." - Adam Karlin, Lonely Planet.

Tulane Professors of Practice are faculty who design, enhance, and teach courses primarily at the undergraduate level, with the flexibility to instruct master's courses too, all while contributing to departmental and university service. Their term appointments are renewable every three years (initially) and every five years after promotion to Senior Professor of Practice. The typical teaching load is three sections per semester (two preps). Institutional and departmental support is available, for example, through our Center for Engaged Learning and Teaching and with teaching and course assistants. Tulane recognizes and rewards innovative and quality teaching. Candidates interested in creating and adopting pedagogical innovations, conducting scholarly activity in computer science education, or developing original elective courses will find many opportunities and support to pursue their interests. The successful candidate will have a record of excellent teaching and mentoring at the undergraduate level, and commitment to student-centered teaching and to increasing diversity in computing.
