Job Summary:
The Engineering Management Program at Gonzaga University in Spokane, WA invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor or a non-tenure track Lecturer position beginning Fall 2024. We invite skilled teacher-scholars committed to inclusive, equity-minded teaching and demonstrated record of scholarship to join our teaching-centered department. We are looking for an applicant with expertise in the area of Engineering Management with background in product introduction although all specializations are welcome.
We seek candidates with a demonstrated commitment to excellent teaching who promote welcoming and diverse learning environments. Immediate teaching responsibilities will include graduate-level courses, with opportunities to teach undergraduate courses as well. The total teaching load will be 18 credit hours per year (the equivalent of three, 3-credit courses per semester) for Assistant Professors and 24 credit hours per year for Lecturers.
The Engineering Management program currently offers a B.S. degree in Engineering Management (ABET accredited) and is initiating a new online Master of Engineering Management degree that will draw both recently graduated as well as established engineers. Both the undergraduate and the graduate programs incorporate coursework provided by the School of Business Administration, so the Engineering Management program focus is on managing engineering technology. Internal funding opportunities are available to support student-faculty research both during the academic year as well as during summer sessions. In addition, Gonzaga's Center for Teaching and Advising provides regular faculty development and education opportunities, including a New Faculty Learning Community program to help welcome and support new faculty throughout their first year at Gonzaga. The newly opened Bollier Family Center for Integrated Science and Engineering on Gonzaga's campus contains teaching, research, and collaboration spaces for faculty from the STEM disciplines and Engineering.
With a mission rooted in the Jesuit tradition (see: https://www.gonzaga.edu/about/our-mission-jesuit-values), Gonzaga seeks to educate students to become compassionate leaders who engage with the world, seek justice, and contribute to the common good. As a campus community, we prioritize inclusive excellence and increasing campus diversity, particularly in supporting underrepresented students in higher education. The Engineering Management program at Gonzaga University seeks candidates who align with this mission and encourages applicants to address it in their cover letter. We value candidates who have worked with faculty, staff, and students with diverse backgrounds who contribute to a welcoming campus climate. Experience working with underrepresented and minoritized students through teaching, research, mentoring, or administration is preferred.
Gonzaga's campus sits adjacent to downtown Spokane, WA, along the Spokane River in the Inland Northwest's most metropolitan region. We exist on the traditional homelands of the Spokane people, one of the Interior Salish speaking tribes of the region. Spokane is Washington's second largest city and boasts a vibrant restaurant, entertainment, and arts community; it is also home to a diverse array of neighborhoods and popular outdoor recreational areas.
