Job Description

The R.B. Annis School of Engineering at the University of Indianapolis (UIndy) is seeking candidates for a tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant Professor or Assistant Professor of Practice level with an expected start date of August 2024 (9-month contract). Rank will be based on interest and experience.

Our mission is to use interdisciplinary education to develop modern engineering leaders who create outstanding solutions. The School’s mission is accomplished through the DesignSpine, which provides students with an authentic, interdisciplinary design experience throughout their entire academic tenure. These experiences involve projects sourced from external stakeholders, which expose students to design for Six-Sigma, Agile / Scrum, project management, entrepreneurship, leadership, and communication skills development.

The School has programs in computer engineering, computer science, electrical engineering, general engineering, industrial and systems engineering, mechanical engineering, and software engineering.

The faculty in the School are composed of individuals from wide-ranging backgrounds and experiences where collaboration is highly encouraged and supported—including a School structure without department boundaries.

Our diverse team is dedicated to effective and innovative teaching, which include an exciting first-year program, project-based learning, service-learning, and current topics courses. Team building and design activities begin from the first day of classes and are reinforced throughout the curriculum. Our small class sizes and experienced professors allow students to design and direct coursework based on their interests, industry trends, and needs, as well as internship experiences.

The School is true to our institutional philosophy of “Education for Service,” where engagement and interaction are key. Faculty contribute to this mission within the walls of the university and in the greater community. In addition to our classroom teaching, faculty are expected to mentor students in DesignSpine projects, as well as engage in service responsibilities.

Candidates in the areas of computer engineering, electrical engineering, software engineering, physics, computer science, or closely related fields are encouraged to apply.

Preference will be given to strong candidates who can teach Microcontrollers, Analog and Digital Signal Processing, Introduction to Computer Programming (Python), Computer Architecture, Database Systems, Operating Systems, Cyber Security, and / or any additional EENG 300 to 400 level course listed in the UIndy Academic Catalog. Preference will be given to candidates with experience with undergraduate education in the US.

Review of applications will begin immediately, and the position will remain open until filled.
