NTT Instructor - Electrical & Computer Engineering

Temple University's Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering is seeking passionate educators to teach, develop coursework, and innovatively design our undergraduate curriculum. Our department is growing, and we seek instructional (non-tenure track) faculty to help deliver an outstanding education that will prepare our students for competitive careers across the spectrum of electrical engineering expertise. Our small size and dedicated faculty allow us to innovate and experiment with state-of-the-art pedagogy to train students who are prepared for a lifetime of learning and rewarding work.

Candidates should hold a PhD or master's degree in electrical and computer engineering or related fields and should be comfortable teaching courses across the undergraduate spectrum. This includes a strong commitment to experiential education, emphasizing hands-on learning in laboratory settings and fostering the development of design skills through problem-solving and project-based work grounded in real-world applications. In particular, we seek expertise in the areas of power, embedded processors, computer engineering, and microelectronics. Non-tenure track faculty are expected to teach four courses per semester, although reductions are possible for tasks such as curriculum development, course development, and accreditation management.

Temple University is proud to place a premium on the contributions of non-tenure track faculty and offers competitive compensation and benefits. The rights and privileges of non-tenure track faculty are protected by a collective bargaining agreement through the Temple Association of University Professionals (TAUP) and include promotion pathways, sabbaticals, and presumption of continued appointment for long-serving NTTs. Details on protections for NTT faculty can be found at https : / / taup.org / faqs-for-ntt-pirc-faculty.

Temple University's main campus is located in North Philadelphia, conveniently accessible by car, rail, and subway. The position is primarily on-site. The position is a full-time 9-month appointment. Candidates can expect an initial one-year contract that can be converted to a multi-year engagement pending a favorable performance review.

Interested candidates should submit a resume, a cover letter that highlights relevant experience and teaching philosophy, and contact information for three references. Candidates will be interviewed and asked to present a short lecture on a common undergraduate topic. Review of applications will begin immediately.
