--- PROSE FIELDS ---

ROLE SUMMARY:
Computer Science Teachers, Postsecondary are academic professionals who teach undergraduate and graduate courses in computer science at colleges and universities. They deliver lectures on topics such as programming, data structures, and software engineering while maintaining student records and conducting research. These educators combine deep technical knowledge with pedagogical skills to prepare students for careers in computing fields.

DAY IN THE LIFE:
Computer science professors prepare and deliver lectures on technical topics like programming and data structures, often using technologies such as C++, Linux, and HTML. They spend significant time developing course materials including syllabi, assignments, and handouts, while also compiling and grading examinations. Regular office hours are maintained to advise students on academic and career matters, and they facilitate classroom discussions to enhance learning. Administrative duties include maintaining attendance records, selecting textbooks and laboratory equipment, and staying current with field developments through professional literature and conferences.

WHO THRIVES:
Individuals who excel in this role demonstrate strong Social and Investigative orientations, combining teaching passion with analytical problem-solving abilities. They possess exceptional oral and written communication skills (importance 4.0+) essential for explaining complex technical concepts clearly. The role demands high dependability and attention to detail, with intellectual curiosity driving continuous learning in rapidly evolving technology fields. Success requires balancing deep technical expertise in computers and electronics (level 6.5) with education and training knowledge (level 6.4) to effectively transfer knowledge to students.

CAREER ENTRY:
Entry into this profession typically requires extensive preparation, with 89% of practitioners holding advanced degrees - 47.4% have Master's degrees and 41.6% have Doctoral degrees according to education distribution data. Candidates usually need a strong background in computer science combined with teaching experience or pedagogical training. Many begin as graduate teaching assistants before advancing to full faculty positions, often requiring research experience and publications in computer science fields.

CAREER TRAJECTORY:
Career progression follows traditional academic pathways from Assistant Professor to Associate Professor to Full Professor, with advancement based on teaching effectiveness, research contributions, and service. Related career transitions include Computer and Information Systems Managers, Software Developers, or Computer and Information Research Scientists. Some may transition to industry roles leveraging their deep technical knowledge and communication skills, while others may advance to academic administration or consulting positions.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE:
The field employs 35,480 professionals with a median annual salary of $96,980 according to BLS OEWS May 2025, ranging from $49,460 to $170,200 for the 10th-90th percentile. Geographic variation is significant, with California offering the highest wages at $128,210 compared to Arkansas at $56,180, representing a 2.28x ratio. Educational Services dominates employment with 35,380 positions. Demand is driven by continued growth in computer science enrollment and the need for qualified instructors to meet technology workforce demands.

AUTOMATION OUTLOOK:
This role maintains strong resistance to automation due to the complex combination of training and teaching others (importance 4.8), thinking creatively (importance 4.3), and making decisions and solving problems (importance 4.4). The human elements of mentoring students, facilitating discussions, and adapting teaching methods to individual learning needs remain irreplaceable by current technology.
