The Connolly Alexander Institute for Data Science (“CAIDS”) seeks to hire a Professor of Practice in Data, who will teach multi-disciplinary courses in data literacy, presentation, management, or analysis. CAIDS is a new independent institute at Tulane University that promotes, teaches, and supports data literacy, for students, faculty, and with the broader community. CAIDS programming will include courses, workshops, grants, academic programming, and events on data literacy, analysis, or management.

This position has a teaching load of two courses per semester (i.e., a 2/2), which is the same as most tenure-track faculty at Tulane.

In addition to teaching, the Professor of Practice will develop and facilitate a few co-curricular experiences each semester, such as workshops or events for students, faculty, or community partners. The Professor of Practice will also have a role in helping direct and manage the focus and trajectory of CAIDS as an active and key partner. Conducting research is not a requirement for the Professor of Practice position, but data-related research can take the place of some service work, especially for junior faculty trying to publish research stemming from their dissertation.
