Northwestern College seeks a motivated and collaborative engineering educator to join its developing undergraduate engineering program in August 2027. This position will teach civil engineering courses such as Engineering Materials with Lab, Geomatics, and Design of Concrete Structures, as well as foundational engineering courses such as Statics. The ideal candidate will have expertise in a civil engineering specialty or closely related field, a commitment to excellent undergraduate teaching, and enthusiasm for mentoring future engineers. Candidates at various stages of their academic careers are encouraged to apply, including those beginning their faculty careers.
The full-time teaching load is 24 credit hours per academic year. In addition to teaching, the successful candidate will participate in scholarship and service appropriate to their experience and career stage. These activities may include student-engaged research, senior design projects, work toward ABET accreditation and other contributions to the program, college or engineering profession. Faculty members also participate in recruiting and advising engineering students, with these responsibilities developing as they gain experience at Northwestern.
Northwestern enjoys a strong reputation in the sciences based on the accomplishments of our faculty and graduates and on the college’s commitment to courageous and confident inquiry, exploration and discovery of God’s truth as revealed in Scripture and the natural world. Our new health and natural sciences building testifies to this investment in the sciences. The expansion of our academic offerings to include engineering extends that commitment by preparing graduates to influence our world in faithful and courageous obedience to God’s calling in their lives. New facilities were recently constructed as the first of our anticipated engineering learning spaces.
