> Academic position - Lecturer in Symbolic Systems, Stanford University (3

> https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/program/29530
> Description
>
> The Symbolic Systems Program at Stanford seeks to hire a Lecturer for a
> three-year, renewable term. Symbolic Systems is a unique, interdisciplinary
> program focused on the intersection of minds and machines. We offer a
> rigorous BS program with concentrations in artificial intelligence,
> cognitive science, natural language processing, neuroscience,
> human-computer interaction, and other areas as well as a small
> research-focused MS degree.
> A successful hire will be expected to (1) teach undergraduate level
> courses for Symbolic Systems, (2) perform other SYMSYS-related duties, and
> (3) contribute to Stanford's COLLEGE program. The COLLEGE program is a new
> first-year requirement. You can read about its offerings here:
> https://college.stanford.edu/courses.
> Stanford is on the quarter system (three academic quarters of 10 weeks
> each) and the normal teaching load of a lecturer is the equivalent of 6
> courses over the three quarters. We anticipate that the position?s teaching
> load will be:
> ?two quarters in which (a) one regular course in each quarter will be
> taught as a capstone senior-level course in Symbolic Systems, based on the
> Lecturer?s interest areas and program needs; and (b) the lecturer will
> supervise an additional independent study course as well as performing
> other program-related duties (e.g., program capstone development and
> advising, assistance with graduate admissions, and coordinating
> undergraduate research placements), and
> ?one quarter in which the lecturer will contribute to Stanford?s
> first-year COLLEGE program by teaching two independent sections of one of
> the COLLEGE courses.
> We will endeavor to provide opportunities for the Lecturer to continue
> their practice as a scholar both through annual contributions to a travel
> and professional expenses account and via a workload during the academic
> year that allows time for research and scholarly writing. This position
> could be a valuable opportunity for an applicant who is seeking
> postdoctoral teaching experience related to symbolic systems, and/or who is
> pursuing a career as a university lecturer, liberal arts and/or community
> college instructor, professional student advisor, academic administrator,
> or college preparatory teacher.
> The position will begin on August 1 2025 and the successful hire will be
> expected to attend the COLLEGE training program in August.
> An application should include a CV and a cover letter that addresses your
> qualifications including:
> ?intersection of academic interests with the mission of the Symbolic
> Systems program;
> ?demonstrated excellence in teaching, especially with first year students;
> ?relevant research and teaching related to classes in the COLLEGE
> curriculum; and
> ?an indication of what other classes you would be prepared to teach
> (especially as related to potential seminars that might be of interest to
> Symbolic Systems students).
> Please also provide the email addresses of three references, at least one
> of whom can speak to your teaching record. After an initial review phase,
> we will request letters of reference and other teaching materials for
> short-listed applicants.
> The salary for this position is $88K for Academic Year 2025-26. Stanford
> University has provided a pay representing its good faith estimate of what
> the university reasonably expects to pay for the position. The pay offered
> to the selected candidate will be determined based on factors including
> (but not limited to) the qualifications of the selected candidate, budget
> availability, and internal equity.
> Further information about Stanford Symbolic Systems may be found at
> https://symsys.stanford.edu <https://symsys.stanford.edu/>. Inquiries may
> be directed to Michael Bernstein, Interim Director, msb at cs.stanford.edu.
> The application process will close on February 15, 2025.
