Smart Living Faculty Positions

We’re looking for individuals to help us make our mark in this area, which is critical to economic development in Missouri and the nation.

Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T) is seeking highly qualified, motivated faculty members in various disciplines to join the university at a pivotal moment in its 144-year history. The university has an inspiring new chancellor, an ambitious strategic plan strongly supported by the University of Missouri System, and a decade of growth in its enrollments, research expenditures, scholarly activity and overall academic quality. In rising to the challenge, the university will add 100 new faculty members by 2020 — growing the faculty by 20 percent. Part of this bold, ambitious plan includes employing transformative and focused hiring in four interdisciplinary signature areas, including Smart Living.

We are strategically hiring faculty who excel in interdisciplinary research to advance our campus signature area of Smart Living. Smart Living seeks to improve the human living condition by enhancing the integrated system of people, technology and the environment. Smart Living requires an interdisciplinary effort among the social science, computing, engineering, science and humanities disciplines to advance a sustainable, usable, and healthy society. The Smart Living signature area is one of four signature areas that are part of S&T’s aggressive strategic plan to hire 100 faculty, adding more breadth and depth to our world-class programs.

New faculty would build upon and add new dimensions to the strengths at Missouri S&T. The positions are broadly defined. New hires must be able to contribute to the Smart Living vision from various perspectives, including secure and private decision-making, smart technologies for business, smart grid, smart buildings, smart transportation, leadership, usability, governance and policy issues and the history of technology.

New hires may start in Fall 2015, Spring 2016, or Fall 2016.
