General Summary of Position:
The Francis College of Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Lowell is searching for outstanding candidates for one full-time Assistant Teaching Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering. The college includes 130 faculty members, 30% of whom are women, and has just under 3,000 undergraduate and over 1,000 graduate students. The department currently comprises approximately 500 undergraduate and graduate students and is one of the largest programs in New England. The University serves the multicultural population of the Commonwealth and has been nationally recognized for its commitment to diversity by the American Society for Engineering Education and is also a Minority Serving Institution (MSI). UMass Lowell is a Carnegie Doctoral High Research (RU/H) university ranked in the top tier of US News' National Universities. The College has bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degree programs in all departments.
The campus is situated on the banks of the Merrimack River, a beautiful and culturally diverse area, and the birthplace of America’s industrial revolution. Cotton mills in Lowell, the only city to be awarded national park status by the U.S. National Park Service, opened in 1814 and the city has been a hub of invention and innovation ever since. UML continues that legacy of innovation throughout the campus. Its location 30 miles northwest of Boston offers unsurpassed enrichment of every type, including fine arts, dining, historical sites, and of course sports! Just north of Lowell, the grandeur of New Hampshire’s White Mountains unfolds not far from the storied ski lodges of New Hampshire and Vermont.
This new faculty will have opportunities to collaborate in teaching with faculty across our six departments. We value excellence and innovation in curriculum design and courses that promote experiential learning and professional skills for our students.
The successful candidates will be expected to begin work in September 2023 and assist in teaching a range of classes that may include Fluids, Heat Transfer, Transport Phenomena, Unit Operations and PDC labs, and Applied Engineering Problem Solving.
The position also requires significant service to the department outside of regular teaching duties, such as, serving on and chairing department committees, assisting the department’s recruiting/retaining efforts, strengthening the external profile of our department (web, social media), demonstrating leadership in advising/mentoring undergraduate students, and embracing the department’s Strategic Plan.
