University Teacher Bachelor Computer Science and Engineering / Bachelor Health and Technology

Job description

The departments associated with Computer Science at TU Delft are seeking a highly motivated and passionate individual to fill the position of University Teacher. As University Teacher, you will be responsible for (co-)teaching high-quality instructions in both the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) BSc program and potentially the new Health and Technology BSc Program in collaboration with Erasmus University Rotterdam. Additionally, you will contribute to the overall educational environment.

We are looking for an additional full-time team member to our CSE Teaching Team who shares our desire to teach and improve education. Since its inception in 2018, the Teaching Team had a significant impact on the quality of education in the CSE BSc program, successfully teaching and guiding hundreds of students.

• FTE: 0.8-1.0.

The Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) BSc program

The Computer Science and Engineering BSc program is a comprehensive and accredited 3-year computer science program with a yearly intake of approximately 550 students and a total student population of around 1600 students. The program is taught in English, and we have a diverse and international student population. Our program balances theoretical computer science courses with practically oriented courses in which theory is applied. The students have two capstone projects, one where they typically do an industry internship, and one where they dive into a research assignment.

The Health and Technology BSc program

The Bachelor Health & Technology is a newly accredited BSc program that will start in September 2027. The program is taught fully at the Erasmus University campus in Rotterdam but is provided by the TU Delft. The program focusses on educating a new type of engineer who will be capable of tackling wicked problems in the health domain, by forming a bridge between medical professionals and engineers. An example of such a problem is the aging of the population. The Computer Science Teaching Team will (co-)teach at least two courses in this new bachelor program: a first-year course on programming where students learn about Python and AI tooling, and a second-year course on data visualisation. As the program is taught in Dutch, a work division will be made between the programs in Delft and Rotterdam, based on the capabilities and capacity of the candidate and the other members of the teaching team.

What will you do as a University Teacher?

• Teaching courses from CS-related programs, including preparing and delivering lectures, designing and/or improving course materials, organizing practical sessions, leading discussions, assessing student performance, and providing constructive feedback.
• Working with a pair/team of university teachers and lecturers.
• Working within a team of university teachers who are all passionate about education.
• Engaging in education innovation.
• Recruiting and leading teams of teaching assistants.

You will get a lot of freedom to work on the things you enjoy, but you can also benefit from the guidance and experience of your team members.

Job requirements

We are looking for candidates who are passionate about teaching and education. We are committed to help you develop your teaching competencies further.

• You have completed a MSc in Computer Science or a related field.
• You have demonstrated affinity and enthusiasm with (some selected) topics taught in the first years of the Computer Science and Engineering BSc program, like algorithms, databases, embedded systems, software engineering, programming, artificial intelligence, computer networks, multimedia processing, etc.
• You have strong interpersonal and communication skills, and work well in teams and with diverse groups of students, faculty, and staff.
• You are expected to obtain a University Teaching Qualification (UTQ) within three years to develop your teaching competencies further. This is provided by the TU Delft UTQ program. If you already have relevant experience, this may result in a (partial) exemption.
• You are expected to have good command of the English language, as TU Delft sets high standards for the English competency of the teaching staff. The TU Delft offers training to improve English competency.
• As the Health and Technology program will be taught in Dutch, command of the Dutch language is highly appreciated, but not a hard requirement.
• Ideally, you have prior affinity with teaching and/or academia, for example through teaching at other institutions, obtaining a PhD degree, or other relevant experience.
