The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering ( MAE) at Rutgers University invites applications for a non-tenure-track professor of practice position in the area of Mechanical Engineering. Applications of all levels will be considered, including Assistant, Associate, and Full Professor ranks. Candidates with expertise in one or more of the following areas are highly encouraged to apply: Mechanical Engineering or Aerospace Engineering Design, Design Optimization, Operations Engineering, Systems Engineering, Automation Engineering, and Project Engineering.

The successful candidate is expected to have rich experience in industrial applications especially in those areas listed above, while having a demonstrated track record in building industrial relations, and is fully capable of teaching graduate and undergraduate courses in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering. The candidate is also expected to further the current senior design program, MAE outreach activities, and develop and maintain industrial partnerships. Other responsibilities include advising undergraduate/graduate students and supervising student projects, activities, and organizations. A graduate degree in Mechanical, Aerospace Engineering (Master or PhD), or a related field is welcome, but a long career with industrial experience is strongly recommended and highly desired

Our Department has more than 40 full-time faculty with roughly 1000 undergraduate and 200 graduate students. The MAE belongs to Rutgers-New Brunswick, a culturally and academically diverse environment with more than 9,980 full-time and part-time faculty, 19,400 graduate students, and 49,800 undergraduate students. We are proud of our growing diverse engineering student population where over a quarter of our students are women and nearly twenty percent are underrepresented minorities and encourage applications from these groups and individuals with a strong commitment to employing inclusive and equitable teaching practices and pedagogy within the classroom and research environments.

Diversity and inclusion are a key foundational element of the University's academic culture, and the School of Engineering is fully committed to equal opportunity in employment and in education. Diversity may include, but is not limited to, gender, ethnicity, race, culture, national origin, physical ability, veteran status, or other underrepresented personal or professional characteristics. Applicants who can contribute to this diversity through their teaching, research, or service are particularly encouraged to apply.
