DETAILED JOB DESCRIPTION:
RIT is seeking candidates for a tenure track position in Chemical Engineering with an appointment at the assistant professor level. RIT has a strong commitment to engineering education and offers a variety of graduate degrees. The department has a five-year BS degree program that includes 48 weeks of cooperative education, and will prepare students for both industrial careers and graduate-level education.
The Chemical engineering program at RIT affords a forward looking view of chemical engineering that will teach engineering principles and underlying science associated with traditional chemical engineering applications, as well as the means to apply this knowledge to modern processes exploiting phenomena on the nano-scale. Our faculty members have an extraordinary opportunity to influence the relatively new undergraduate program and an emerging graduate program. Thus, the successful candidate must be able to teach core undergraduate courses and develop electives in accordance with their area of expertise, and must be capable of teaching graduate level courses that will be necessary as the program matures.
