Assistant Teaching Professor in Systems Engineering

The Engineering Management and Systems Engineering department within the Kummer College at the Missouri University of Science and Technology is seeking a Non-Tenure Track Faculty member (Instructional Assistant Professor) with expertise in Systems Engineering to support our graduate programs, including both Master's and PhD levels. The successful candidate will be responsible for teaching four courses per semester, focusing on core and advanced topics within Systems Engineering, such as systems design, optimization, modeling, and analysis. The candidate will also play a key role in mentoring graduate students, guiding their research projects, and helping them navigate their academic and professional development.

In this role, the faculty member will collaborate closely with existing faculty to enhance the curriculum and ensure it remains aligned with industry standards and technological advancements. They will be expected to contribute to course development, particularly in areas that address emerging trends in Systems Engineering, such as digital twin technology, cyber-physical systems, and complex system integration. While this is a teaching-focused position, the faculty member will also be encouraged to engage in research activities, particularly those that can be integrated into their teaching.

This position is essential for maintaining the high quality of education and research within our graduate program. The faculty member will work with students, helping them to develop the skills necessary to solve complex systems engineering challenges. Their contributions will ensure that our program continues to produce graduates who are well-prepared to lead in both academic and industry settings
