Description
The Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (ChemBE) at Johns Hopkins University seeks applicants for a full-time teaching position. This is a career-oriented, renewable appointment. The title of Lecturer is the entry-level position for a well-defined professional career path for full-time teaching faculty, culminating in the rank of Teaching Professor.
The focus of the position involves the development and delivery of undergraduate (especially) and graduate courses related to the candidate's background. These positions typically carry a load of two courses per semester, with an additional one or two course-equivalents in departmental and/or university service-related responsibilities. In total, this leads to a load of six course-equivalents of responsibility. Teaching faculty typically also have advising responsibilities for undergraduate students. Extensive grading support as well as professional mentoring is provided to all instructors. Guidance in teaching and course design is also available through our Center for Teaching Excellence and Innovation. Opportunities exist for the successful candidate to conduct either independent scientific research or pedagogical research.
Johns Hopkins is a private university known for its commitment to academic excellence and research. ChemBE is one of nine academic departments in the Whiting School of Engineering, on the beautiful Homewood Campus. We are located in Baltimore, MD, in close proximity to Washington, DC and Philadelphia, PA. See the department webpages at https://engineering.jhu.edu/chembe/for additional information about the department, including undergraduate programs and current course descriptions.
Johns Hopkins is a community committed to sharing values of diversity, equity and inclusion in order to achieve and sustain excellence. We firmly believe that we can best promote excellence by recruiting and retaining a diverse group of students, faculty and staff and by creating a climate of respect that is supportive of their success. This climate for diversity, inclusion and excellence is critical to attaining the best research, scholarship, teaching, health care, and other strategic goals of the University. These values are recognized and supported fully by the Johns Hopkins leadership at all levels. Further, we recognize that the responsibility for excellence, diversity and inclusion lies with all of us at the Institutions: leadership, administration, faculty, staff, and students. Explore the department’s web page to see our commitment to DEI at https://engineering.jhu.edu/chembe/diversity-and-inclusion/.
Qualifications
The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. in chemical engineering or closely related field, and some teaching experience. The candidate will aspire to push for innovations in engineering education; help develop curriculum and other programmatic initiatives; be comfortable teaching larger groups of students (up to 100 students); and have a strong technical background in a chemical or biological engineering or related field. Industry experience, while not required, is also an asset.
The faculty member will join an existing and dynamic group of Teaching-track Junior and Senior Lecturers in the department. This position will be filled at either the Junior or Senior Lecturer level with a multi-year renewable contract, commensurate with the candidate's experience and current rank. A Senior Lecturer appointment requires teaching with distinction for no fewer than four years at a similar university. Criteria for promotion include excellence in teaching, educational publications, curriculum development, and pedagogical innovation. The successful candidate will receive a competitive salary and benefits options including health and retirement plan participation. The start date for this position will preferably be no later than December 30, 2022, with a phase-in of teaching duties.
