course coordinator/supervisor
Explanation:
At U.S. universities, courses generally have 'coordinators' or 'supervisors' (as seen in my references below); thus, a literal translation may not be advisable here.

As for 'por concurso,' I'd be inclined to use a bit of omission here; including it would result in a certain 'foreignizing' effect, as this type of information is not normally included in CVs or faculty bios (at least not in the US).

neutral  Marcelo González: I don't know of any external hire that is not the result of a competitive (selection) process. They all are, hence my suggestion of omission in this case. As for 'director,' I find it odd. Courses don't usually have directors, at least at US universities.

  -> Of course selection is competitive, but this term indicates that there was an examination process that the candidate won. Also, we are not referring to US universities.
