Earlham College is hiring a full-time, three-year Visiting Assistant Professor of Engineering beginning in Fall 2025. We are developing a General Engineering program with both accredited and non-accredited degrees. We invite applicants from Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Education, or a related Engineering background.

We are building a program (Engineering for Good) that is distinctive in its deep integration across our campus and community, both complementing and strengthened by Earlham’s experience in the liberal arts, as well as its mission grounded in Quaker principles. This is our third hire as we build the program. Successful applicants will have strong Engineering credentials and a commitment to modern pedagogy. They will work closely with our students, faculty, staff and community to develop a curriculum that trains engineers committed to social good. The Board, faculty and community are very excited and support this new initiative in the Department of Physics, Engineering and Astronomy.

You will:

* Teach 3 Engineering courses per semester. This will usually be 2 lectures and 2 lab sections per semester, though any individual’s load depends on the needs and assets of the department in a given term.
* Help develop Earlham’s Engineering program. You will begin work as the third year of Engineering students arrives on campus. While many decisions about the new program have already been made, many are yet to be finalized.
* Support our diverse faculty, staff and student body. We are committed to working toward being a just and equitable campus. Teachers are expected to support all voices and build empowering classrooms, especially for marginalized groups.

You can:

* Perform research with undergrads, during or between semesters. We have a range of research facilities and opportunities for internal/external support.
* Grow as a teacher. We are committed to the classroom experience, and provide many chances to improve pedagogy. These come both internally, through formal mentorship, and externally, through funded workshops and conferences.
* Develop professionally. This position offers the chance to: be an informal undergraduate advisor; participate in our community governance process, learn to write grants etc. The position includes access to scholarly travel funding for conferences.
* Participate in on- and off-campus activities. Faculty regularly attend sports/music events, lead off-campus trips, and otherwise support each other and the student body outside the classroom.

Required:

* PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Education, or a related field by Fall 2025
* Demonstrated passion for and experience of teaching excellence
* Demonstrated commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and justice
* Ability to be a positive example and resource to all Earlham students

Preferred:

* Interest in conducting research with undergraduate students
* Ability to contribute to a broad range of engineering courses
* Passion for program design, with attention to the societal impacts of Engineering
* Experience with accreditation

Community Update: Brief Hiatus for Submissions to Journal of Women and Minorities in Science and Engineering

https://www.begellhouse.com/journals/journal-of-women-and-minorities-in-science-and-engineering.html

The Journal of Women and Minorities in Science and Engineering (JWM) is announcing a three-month hiatus on new submissions, beginning May 31st and ending September 1st, 2024.

Why is this occurring? As a paper journal, we are limited in how many articles we can publish per issue due to page constraints. Currently, we have a backlog of accepted articles waiting to be published and we don’t want authors to have to wait 18 months from time of acceptance to publication. To improve timeliness in delivering our content to the JWM audience, we need to allow some time for the publishing schedule to catch up to existing submissions.

Although no new submissions will be accepted for review during the hiatus timeframe, we encourage authors who are nearly ready to submit their manuscripts to JWM to go ahead and do so before May 31st, 2024. We will be welcoming new submissions again in September 2024, with our newly reduced word limit (8,000 words). This new word limit will help us overcome our constraints as a paper journal while continuing to serve our JWM authors and STEM education research community.
