Pros

* Growing CS department - We invite new faculty candidates from top universities each spring! * Competitive stipend and benefits among Texas Universities - Rice, UT-Austin, A&M

Cons

* Small number of active research groups in CS compared to other top schools -> Limited options if your research group is not interested in taking new students -> Isolation since only your group is working to publish papers in certain conferences

Pros

If you like driven, ambitious, and intelligent students, this is a perfect place to teach. The campus is beautiful, and your colleagues are the best of the best.

Cons

As a non-tenure-track Lecturer, there isn't much room for growth. There is a new Teaching Professor track, but it seems to be more of an empty title without a sizable salary increase.
