CIR Instructors do not just teach computer science; they change the trajectory of students who are one great class away from believing they belong in tech.

As a CIR Instructor, you will step into a university classroom as a full, institution-backed instructor. You’ll bring your industry experience directly to students in their first computer science course, teaching live and in person, delivering CodePath's industry-aligned curriculum in Python, Java, or C++, with thoughtful integration of AI into how students learn and problem-solve.

CodePath provides training, onboarding, and ongoing support. Your host university plugs you into faculty mentorship and a collaborative teaching environment. You will build trust on campus, unlock confidence in students, and help shape what CS education looks like at your institution.

This is a full-immersion role. It starts with training in July 2026 and runs through the Fall semester on campus, ending in December 2026. It's best suited for engineers who are local to their assigned university or able to relocate, and who are ready to make the most meaningful semester of their career.

 

Key Responsibilities

  • Training & Development: Attend summer onboarding sessions to build proficiency with CodePath’s teaching tools and instructional strategies before the semester begins

  • Course Instruction: Teach an introductory computer science course (20-120 students per section), supporting students in achieving learning objectives

  • Additional Instruction: Support additional CodePath courses and programs with partner universities as a Lead Instructor (as capacity allows)

  • Curriculum Adaptation & Lesson Preparation: Review the provided curriculum and adapt or modify materials as needed to align with the university’s course structure, learning objectives, and student needs, while preparing and delivering engaging, industry-relevant lessons 

  • Teaching Assistant Leadership: Manage, mentor, and support Teaching Assistants (Tech Fellows) where applicable. These are advanced students who assist part-time (approx. 1:20 TF-to-student ratio at select sites)

  • Office Hours: Hold regular in-person office hours and actively encourage student participation

  • Partnership: Collaborate with internal stakeholders (e.g., CodePath Outreach and Program Managers) and external partners (e.g., faculty mentors and university administrators) to ensure alignment with program goals

  • Deliver Impact beyond the classroom: Integrate enrichment components like technical interview prep workshops and promote use of CodePath’s Career Center resources

  • Outreach: Partner with Campus Outreach teams to support and promote CodePath courses through on-campus engagement initiatives

  • Community-building: Foster a strong CIR community by participating in regular cohort calls, contributing to discussions, and sharing insights and resources

  • Feedback: Share timely feedback with the CIR program team about the experience at your specific university and the program overall

  • Deepen Institutional Knowledge Base: Capture and share knowledge (e.g., resource links, departmental context, tips) that will support future CIR Instructors at your institution

Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
