2022-2023 Faculty - Engineering Education Research

Description

The College of Engineering at the University of Michigan is excited to announce a tenured/tenure-track faculty opening as part of its unique, interdisciplinary engineering education research (EER) program. The faculty member hired through this search will join a community that includes five core EER faculty, will conduct EER as their main form of scholarship, and will be embedded in one of the traditional engineering departments within the College of Engineering (https://www.engin.umich.edu/departments/). Accordingly, the successful applicant will demonstrate the potential to conduct world class scholarship in EER, teach in both EER and in a traditional engineering department, and provide service in support of both EER and an engineering department.

Qualifications

Applicants should have a Ph.D. in Engineering Education, STEM/Science Education, or Engineering AND a minimum of an M.S. degree (or equivalent) in a science or engineering discipline. Candidates should also demonstrate the potential to create a strong and externally-funded research program in engineering education (which includes advising graduate and/or undergraduate student researchers and producing peer-reviewed publications), teach EER and engineering courses at both the graduate and undergraduate levels, provide service and leadership to the profession, and contribute to our goal of eliminating systemic racism and sexism by embracing our culture of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI).

Application Instructions

To apply, please submit the following materials: (1) cover letter explaining your interest in this position, (2) curriculum vitae, (3) two-page research statement, (4) two-page teaching statement that addresses teaching in both EER and a UM engineering department, (5) two-page diversity statement, (6) up to three representative publications, and (7) names and contact information for three confidential references. Throughout these materials, be sure to describe ways your research, teaching, and service might benefit both EER and one of the traditional engineering departments within the College of Engineering. As well, the College of Engineering is especially interested in candidates who contribute, through their research, teaching, and/or service, to the diversity and excellence of the academic community, so the materials you submit should also describe your commitment and potential contributions to DEI. 

We will accept applications on a rolling basis, but applications submitted by January 15, 2023 will receive full consideration for this position. Please direct questions to cfinelli@umich.edu.
