Job Description

The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the Missouri University of Science and Technology (formerly the University of Missouri-Rolla) invites applications for a non-tenure-track (NTT) teaching professor position. NTT teaching faculty members contribute to the core activity of teaching and are expected to be fully engaged in the department’s curriculum development and delivery. Applicants are expected to provide high-quality teaching at the undergraduate level in mechanical and/or aerospace engineering.

The teaching assignments will be a minimum of 75% of the workload, with typically three to four (3 credit hour) courses per semester during the academic year. Service activities may include laboratory supervisory responsibilities, design team advising, academic advising, curriculum development, program assessment, and assisting in the implementation of a new ME program at a partner institution.

Minimum Qualifications

An earned doctorate in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering, or related field, is required.

Preferred Qualifications

Candidates must demonstrate their ability to successfully teach, organize and execute capstone (senior) and basic (1stand 2ndyear) design classes related to mechanical and aerospace engineering.

Preference will be given to candidates with teaching strength and interest in engineering design and innovation.

As NTT teaching faculty at Missouri S&T are eligible for promotion, it is anticipated that the successful candidate would achieve a sustained level of recognition by students and peers as a stimulating, inspiring and effective teacher, as well as develop excellence in the production of effective learning materials, improved teaching techniques, and state-of-the-art delivery systems.

Interested candidates should electronically submit their application consisting of: 1) a cover letter, 2) a current curriculum vitae, 3) a teaching statement, and 4) complete contact information for at least four references to Missouri S&T’s Human Resources Office at: http://hr.mst.edu/careers/academic-employment/ using reference number 00083268. Acceptable electronic formats are PDF and MS Word. Applications will be reviewed as they are received, and the review of applications will continue until the position is filled. For more information prior to submitting an application, please contact Dr, David J. Bayless, Chair of the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department, dbayless@mst.edu .

About Missouri S&T

Founded in 1870 as the Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy, Missouri University of Science and Technology is one of the top technological institutions in the nation and among the first technological institutions established west of the Mississippi River. A US News and World Report Top 100 national public university, Missouri S&T serves 7,200 students and counts over 55,000 living alumni, including world-famous astronauts, scientists, engineers, inventors, and business leaders. S&T has three colleges: the College of the Arts, Sciences, and Education; the College of Engineering and Computing; and the newly established Kummer College of Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Economic Development. Nearly 400 faculty offer 101 degree undergraduate and graduate programs in business, engineering, science, computing, social sciences, and the humanities. Students entering S&T have an average ACT of 28.5, while 80% of all students are Missouri residents and 20% are first-generation.

In 2020, alumnus Fred Kummer and his wife June donated $300M to create the Kummer Institute of Student Success, Research, and Economic Development, with three primary objectives: (1) elevate S&T’s reputation as an educational and research organization, (2) create broad access to S&T’s exceptional STEM and business programs through outreach to Missouri’s K-12 communities, and (3) drive economic development regionally, statewide, and beyond. Missouri S&T is currently poised for dramatic achievement in these areas as the vision of the Kummer family is brought to fruition.

Located about 100 miles southwest of St. Louis in the multicultural community of Rolla, Missouri, S&T is an accessible, safe, and friendly campus surrounded by Ozarks scenery.

Missouri S&T’s Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, the campus, and the greater University of Missouri System are deeply committed to inclusion and valuing diversity. Missouri S&T has undertaken a number initiatives to improve campus life and the work/life balance of its faculty and staff (see http://hr.mst.edu ). Missouri S&T seeks to meet the needs of dual-career couples. ( Dual Career Partner Assistance Program )

The final candidate is required to provide copies of official transcript(s) for any college degree(s) listed in application materials submitted. Copies of transcript(s) should be provided prior to the start of employment. In addition, the final candidate may be required to verify other credentials listed in application materials.
