Thank you for considering a career with the Research Foundation of The City University of New York (RFCUNY). The team at RFCUNY is made up of dedicated, talented professionals committed to providing the services that allow CUNY researchers, faculty, and staff to focus on their intellectual curiosity and scientific discoveries. We are pleased that you are interested in exploring opportunities to join RFCUNY. Primary Location: NYC COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY Bargaining Unit: Yes The Tech Talent Pipeline Residency Program (TTPR) is an internship placement program for students in technology and technology-adjacent majors at CUNY City Tech. TTPR partners with industry to prepare students for careers across four key technical domains: IT/Hardware, Full-Stack Development, Cybersecurity, and Data Analysis. We are committed to increasing diversity in the technology workforce and ensuring students graduate work-ready. Start Date: 1 June, 2026 End Date: 21 August, 2026 For Summer 2026, TTPR is expanding its bootcamp model to serve as the foundational launch point for a multi-semester, multi-track technical education program. The 12-week intensive bootcamp (June 1 – August 21, 2026) will establish core competencies shared across all four career tracks. Students will then continue into the academic year with track-specific modules tailored to their intended internship placements. Because students are being guided toward four distinct paths (IT/Hardware, Full-Stack Development, Cybersecurity, Data Analysis ), the Lead Instructor must be comfortable delivering instruction across all core areas and should have demonstrable depth in at least two tracks. The curriculum is designed so that each foundational topic is relevant across all four career paths. The Lead Instructor is responsible for the design and delivery of the bootcamp curriculum across all five pillars, in coordination with TTPR program staff. Refine the curriculum and select appropriate resources and learning platforms, in collaboration with TTPR’s program manager and tech advisor Develop project-based learning modules that span multiple curriculum pillars and connect to real-world role scenarios Deliver engaging lectures, live coding demonstrations, and technical presentations across curriculum pillars Design and implement individual and group projects that build applied, portfolio-ready skills Integrate and model intelligent, effective, and responsible use of AI tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT) throughout instruction as professional-grade development aid, not as shortcuts Guide students through cloud deployments, API integrations, and data workflows in hands-on settings Evaluate student progress through formal and informal assessments, providing constructive, actionable feedback Collaborate with four Teaching Assistants, a program manager, a tech advisor, and a faculty advisor throughout the bootcamp.
