¾ Time Non-Tenure Track Faculty Position in CIVIL and ENVIRONMENTAL Engineering: With SPECIALIZATION in TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING
The Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering (CEE) at Rowan University invites applications for a non-tenure track, ¾ time teaching position for the 2021 Fall and 2022 Spring semester (September 1, 2021 – June 30, 2022). The successful candidates will be responsible for teaching innovative and project-based courses in the Civil & Environmental Engineering curriculum. Applicants with expertise in all fundamental areas of Civil & Environmental Engineering are invited to apply, however, our priority area – starting with the greatest need is Transportation Engineering. The candidate should be able to teach our core transportation engineering course along with electives such as:
- Basic Transportation Engineering b) Pavement Design; c) Pavement Rehabilitation; d) Intelligent Transportation Systems, e) Transportation Safety and Mobility.
The Department greatly values experiential and project-based learning, integrating emerging topics and technologies into the curriculum, and provides outstanding and state-of-the-art laboratories that support teaching and research. We seek individuals who are passionate about teaching and have the skills and dedication to develop innovative hands-on lab projects or other experiential learning activities using appropriate modern tools, and the ability to integrate such projects/activities into the course content. The position also includes service responsibilities, such as helping with the department’s assessment activities. Therefore, any experience with assessment, pedagogy, and scholarship of engineering education would be very valuable. A ¾ time appointment typically carries a 9-credit / semester teaching load (or 18 credits in one academic year), and pays ¾ of the applicable salary of a full-time instructor, with no other benefits.
Applicants must have earned at least a Master of Science degree in Civil & Environmental Engineering. Strong communications skills, the ability to work with multi-disciplinary student and faculty teams, and ability to teach in a project-based setting are essential. The appointment is initially for the 2021 fall semester, possibly renewable based on performance, departmental needs, and university and budgetary approvals. Applicants must have current, legal authorization to work in the United States, valid at least until June 30, 2022 and preferably beyond.
