17-Sep-2020 Close All Job SummaryAs part of our commitment to creating a diverse, equitable, and inclusive academic culture in the College of Engineering and Applied Science (CEAS) at the University of Colorado Boulder, we are launching a new college-wide search for multiple tenured/tenure track faculty positions rostered among any/all of the six departments and six interdisciplinary programs in the college. We anticipate hiring at the assistant and associate professor levels, although qualified candidates will be considered at the full professor rank.
This search is motivated by the four core values of the college’s strategic vision: accelerate our research impact to produce advances in technology and benefits to society, embrace our public education mission including expanding access and participation of diverse and underrepresented communities in engineering and computer science, increase our global engagement, and enrich our professional environment.
The University of Colorado Boulder is committed to building a culturally diverse community of faculty, staff, and students dedicated to contributing to an inclusive campus environment. We are an Equal Opportunity employer, including veterans and individuals with disabilities. Who We AreFounded in 1893, the College of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Colorado Boulder is the second largest of seven schools and colleges at one of the nation's top public research institutions. As Colorado's flagship university, CU Boulder has selective admissions standards and a comprehensive array of undergraduate and graduate programs.
Over the past decade, we have made progress in increasing the diversity of our 5,400 undergraduate student body. This year, our incoming freshman class is 24% students of color and 40% students who identify as women. While these proportions represent an improvement over past years, they still fall short of the proportions in the country, and in Colorado. The profile of the college’s 254 tenured/tenure track faculty, while more diverse than a decade ago, has not kept pace with student diversity. In 2020, 5.2% of our tenure-track faculty identify as Black, Indigenous, or Hispanic/Latinx, and 23% identify as women. We are committed to continuing to make progress in both the near and long-term future.What Your Key Responsibilities Will BeWe seek faculty whose teaching, research, and service will: produce engineering solutions for complex state, national, and global challenges; grow our national leadership in engineering education and research; and improve the economic competitiveness, security, and quality of life for all. We assert that a diverse faculty who have equal opportunities to pursue and be recognized for contributions in research, teaching, and service is necessary for achieving our campus diversity plan. Success in this goal will also require faculty who actively work to create an inclusive culture within the college.What You Should KnowThis search is aimed at prospective faculty whose experience and future plans for teaching, research, and service are aligned with creating a more inclusive academic culture of excellence in engineering and computer science.What We Can OfferSalary range for this position will be $95,000 - $200,000 based on rank, education, and experience. Relocation reimbursement will be available in the amount of $10,000.BenefitsThe University of Colorado offers excellent benefits, including medical, dental, retirement, paid time off, tuition benefit and ECO Pass. The University of Colorado Boulder is one of the largest employers in Boulder County and offers an inspiring higher education environment.
