Fixed-term Lecturer and Professor of Practice Opportunities

Faculty Openings

The School of Engineering is pleased to invite applications for Lecturer and Professor of Practice openings in several areas including Biomedical Engineering, Chemical and Biological Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Electrical, Computer and Systems Engineering, Industrial and Systems Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, and Mechanical, Aerospace and Nuclear Engineering.

These faculty positions may be offered depending upon experience, qualifications, funding and need.

A Ph.D. in an appropriate area is required along with a strong desire and commitment to teaching and student support primarily at the undergraduate level. While these are nominally fixed-term appointments, the intent and mechanisms exist for renewal in a challenging long-term career in undergraduate education at Rensselaer. The selected individual will be welcomed into the School as a full partner with the rest of the faculty. Individuals will be expected to participate in undergraduate curriculum development and teaching for our core engineering program as well as the program that best fits the individual’s expertise and our need.

Selected candidates would also be encouraged and supported in any projects targeted toward educational outreach, pedagogical advancement and related scholarship.
