The successful candidate will be expected to teach at the undergraduate and graduate level and contribute to developing new courses in their area of expertise. The department currently offers Electrical and Computer Engineering programs and participates in college-wide interdisciplinary graduate programs.

Successful candidates will have experience in and enthusiasm for teaching undergraduate courses and a desire to contribute to the growth of a strong Engineering Department. A completed Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or a closely related field at the time of hiring is required. Candidates should demonstrate evidence of strong research productivity, potential for external funding, commitment to excellence in undergraduate teaching and graduate mentoring, and enthusiasm for contributing to the growth of a vibrant and inclusive Engineering Department.

UMass Boston is an urban public research university with a teaching soul, whose impact is both local and global. We are the third most diverse university in the country - more than 60% of our undergraduate students come from minoritized communities and groups and more than half of our students are the first in their families to attend a college or university. Thus, our students come to us from richly diverse life experiences and backgrounds; they bring to our classrooms and research settings the robust range of perspectives growing out of the socio-cultural, economic, and historical contexts in which they have lived, along with the challenges they encounter, engage, and strive to overcome. We invite applications from candidates who engage the diverse life experiences of our student body, who appreciate that students bring their holistic selves into the academic setting, and who recognize and articulate how their own life experiences and backgrounds have shaped their journeys, practices, and commitments as researchers, scholars, and educators.

UMass Boston expects to pay within an approximate range between $80,000 and $105,000 for this position.

The specific pay for this position will be determined by the University based on the consideration of all relevant factors when and if it decides to extend an offer of employment. Exceptional candidates may be considered for salaries above the published range to ensure competitiveness within the academic market.

UMass Boston is committed to the full inclusion of all qualified individuals. As part of this commitment, we will ensure that persons with disabilities are provided reasonable accommodations for the hiring process. If reasonable accommodation is needed, please contact HR@umb.edu or 617-287-5150.
