The Department of Mathematics, Computer Science, and Physics invites applications for a full-time appointment in Engineering Science, at the rank of Lecturer, starting in August, 2021. The Engineering Science major is an exciting new addition to the College, as it seeks to provide the best of broad engineering methods within a liberal arts environment. This is the first hire in the major, and the College seeks a candidate with energetic vision and creative thought.

Lecturer positions are renewable annually contingent on good performance and the needs of the College. A Master’s Degree or higher in Engineering (including sub-fields), Engineering Education, or a closely-related field is required. A successful candidate must have a strong interest in teaching a wide range of undergraduate science and engineering-related courses in a liberal arts setting, in teaching within the college’s Intellectual Inquiry (INQ) curriculum, in mentoring and facilitating a variety of experiential learning opportunities, and in leading assessment efforts towards ABET accreditation. Evidence of potential for highly effective classroom teaching is required; the normal teaching load is seven courses per year, the salary is commensurate with qualifications and experience.
