My department is advertising for a full-time non-tenure-track position focused on (but not limited to) teaching intro programming; masters degrees will be considered for instructor, Ph.D.s for lecturer. The CS department at Christopher Newport University is a great place to work, with a very congenial, supportive atmosphere and energetic faculty who are passionate about teaching.

Note the fairly early deadline (November 1st).
