Teaching Assistant - Computer Science & Engineering

Kuwait College of Science and Technology is fully licensed by the nation's Ministry of Higher
Education/Private Universities Council and started its operation in 2016 offering degrees in Computer
Science, Computer Engineering and Electronics and Communications Engineering. In 2022, the student
population exceeded 1600, and the first cohort of engineers has graduated. The University has an
outstandingly high research output in the context of the private universities in the Region.

One of the cornerstones of the University's strategy is Engineering with Leadership, which means that
the University aims to produce engineering graduates who are aware and conversant with management
theory and techniques. Thus, its current engineering curricula already contain significant portions of
economics, management, and entrepreneurship. In the near future, a new Faculty of Business
Management will be launched.

The Department of Computer Science and Engineering is recruiting ambitious academics with a proven
track record in teaching.
