The successful candidates will be outstanding educators and should provide evidence of effective and innovative teaching in chemical and/or biochemical engineering. In addition to teaching courses at the undergraduate and graduate level, candidates are expected to lead the development and assessment of a new Master of Engineering (MEng) program in chemical engineering.
