Lecturer of Mechanical Engineering Technology

The School of Engineering Technology at Purdue University invites applications for a full-time appointment as a lecturer in the area of mechanical engineering technology. This position will be at the Anderson location.

Teaching Expectations

The Purdue Polytechnic transformation requires faculty with both high technical competence and the ability and desire to teach in active classrooms. This position will support the growing student population in Anderson as well as the Richmond location. While those two locations are close enough to allow limited travel between sites, this new hire will be expected to use modern distance education technologies to reach multiple locations concurrently.

In addition to teaching, the candidate will be expected to aid in curriculum development for the mechanical engineering technology major and provide technical depth to the MET program. This may take the form of mentoring senior capstone teams.

Qualifications

Applicants must have at least an M.S. in engineering technology, engineering, computer science, or a related discipline. This position requires the ability to effectively communicate orally and in writing for both classroom effectiveness and external engagement. The Lecturer position is contractual non-tenure accruing, but renewable.

Purdue Polytechnic Institute

Purdue University's Polytechnic Institute is committed to advancing diversity in all areas of faculty effort including discovery, instruction, and engagement. Candidates should address at least one of these areas in their cover letter, indicating their past experiences, current interests or activities and/or future goals to promote a climate that values diversity and inclusion.
