This is a non-tenure track position; initially it is for one academic year with anticipated academic year (9 months) renewals.

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

The successful candidate will be expected to teach introductory and intermediate electrical engineering courses and to teach and/or coordinate electrical engineering laboratory courses.

Furthermore, new courses may be developed to align with the department’s curricular needs and future trends in electrical and computer engineering. The specific teaching assignments will vary based on departmental requirements and the candidate’s expertise.

The anticipated teaching load is 12 credits per semester.
