This role involves teaching sections of Data Visualization in the Master of Science in Computational Analysis and Public Policy Program (MSCAPP) during the 2024 Fall Quarter, which runs from September 30 to December 14. The primary objective of the course is to equip students with practical knowledge of visualization theory, including concepts such as the grammar of graphics, while also providing hands-on experience with contemporary visualization tools like d3. This adjunct faculty position is initially appointed for one quarter, with the potential for renewal in future terms. The courses are structured to be held over nine weeks, with an additional week dedicated to a final project or exam. Instruction is expected to take place in person on the University of Chicago's Hyde Park campus. The scheduling of classes can vary, with options for daytime sessions (meeting 2-3 times a week for a total of up to three hours) or evening sessions (meeting once per week for up to three hours). The specific days and times will be determined in consultation with the adjunct faculty member. It is important to note that this position is part-time and does not come with benefits. Compensation is based on a per-course payment structure for the quarters in which the faculty member teaches. Additionally, applicants must be currently authorized to work in the U.S.
