Teaching Faculty

The Department of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering (CBE) at the Florida A&M University (FAMU) – Florida State University (FSU) College of Engineering is pleased to invite applications for a full-time, non-tenure-track, twelve-month teaching faculty position in the city of Tallahassee, Florida. This is a permanent position, which has university benefits and opportunities for promotion. The main responsibilities for this position are those associated with teaching undergraduate core and elective chemical engineering courses, although teaching graduate core and elective courses may also be needed. The candidate will prepare documentation for assessment of these courses as part of the program accreditation process, mentor and advise students and perform departmental, college, and university service.

CBE has a dynamic group of faculty members actively involved in research encompassing various areas of biomedical engineering, chemical engineering, and materials science and engineering. Successful candidates will have many opportunities to interact and collaborate with the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, FSU College of Medicine, FAMU-FSU Interdisciplinary Program in Materials Science and Engineering, FSU Institute of Molecular Biophysics, FSU Jim Moran School of Entrepreneurship, and FSU Departments of Scientific Computing, and Chemistry and Biochemistry as well as the FAMU Departments of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Chemistry and Physics. (Details can be found at the Department web page).

The FAMU-FSU College of Engineering is the nexus of two major public universities, each with a distinct mission but focused on world-class engineering education and research. Created by the Florida Legislature in 1982, the joint institution is the college of engineering for both Florida A&M and Florida State universities. This unique combination of focus, resources and mission from our parent institutions has created on our campus a truly innovative atmosphere that leverages the benefits of the traditional HBCU model with the innovations of an R-1 public research university. After completing pre-requisites at their home institution, FAMU and FSU students learn, study and research together at our independent campus with joint-appointed faculty and staff. Students graduate from their enrolling university and from the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. Both FAMU and FSU are part of the State University System of Florida and are accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges. Additionally, all six of the college’s eligible undergraduate degree programs are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET.

Qualifications

Suitable applicants must possess an earned PhD degree in chemical engineering or a closely related engineering discipline. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, as well as the ability to motivate and inspire students are essential. While not required, ability and experience in teaching bioengineering related courses is also desirable.
