Assistant Professor of Computer Science Cover Letter Sample

Dear Hiring Manager,

As an Adjunct Computer Science Lecturer and Doctorate of Computer Engineering graduate, I apply with enthusiasm for this opportunity.

I am currently a part-time Adjunct Lecturer at the University of Sunnybank, where I teach undergraduate Real-Time Computing and Human-Computer Interaction. I employ a range of traditional and progressive methodology in the planning and delivery of instruction in physical and virtual settings, incorporating experiential learning whenever possible. While I occasionally use textbooks, I often create my own material.

I see myself as an educator, not just an instructor. I actively promote a flexible, supportive, and dynamic learning environment and encourage students to challenge the material. I am particularly pleased at the average 97% pass rate my students achieve.

In addition to my lecturing experience and doctorate studies, I hold a Master of Computer Science. I regularly build upon and complement my theoretical and practical knowledge through attending professional workshops, conferences, and courses.

I have enjoyed my time at the University of Sunnybank, and am grateful for the excellent teaching opportunities offered. I am now seeking a full-time Assistant Professor role that will enable me to deliver stimulating courses to the next generation of computer scientists and professionals.

Please find attached my curriculum vitae for your consideration. Thank you very much for your time. I look forward to hearing from you regarding next steps. 

Yours sincerely,

Emma Wall
