Computer Science UCD Computer Science is hiring new academic staff. We are currently seeking an Associate Professor to strengthen our already active research discipline in Software Engineering.

My thanks to all involved in this project - particularly Keith Quille, Hubert Bukowski, Amy McMahon and the CSinc team at TUDublin. #Huawei #LCCS #computerscience #machinelearning #CSinc

NEW RELEASE! Duncan Hull is a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in #ComputerScience at The University of Manchester but with his roots in #biology. He has had what he terms a very 'squiggly' career progression... read more at computingcrossroads.org/the-biologist/ Brett A. Becker ACM SIGCSE UCD Computer Science

Interested in teaching or offering Computer Science in your school? Come along this evening online at 6pm! All welcome to attend! @PDSTcs

9 regions, 15 schools, 20 teachers, 30 facilitators, and over 1000 students across Botswana. The mood was electric, the students, facilitators, and teachers loved it. The media, came out to bear witness. The general consensus is that Batswana students are ready to start coding!

Giving a keynote for 1500 people, winning the highest award in our field, Susan Rodger announced on her slide "I'm autistic." This is how we start to normalize discussions about neurodivergence. I'm in awe of Susan's courage. #sigcse2023

Thank you Dr. Sue Sentance for being very supportive from the beginning and for the wonderful presentation at the CSEdBotswana summit which gave us the global perspective of broadening participation in the case of England!
