Position Summary
The University of New Mexico School of Engineering (SOE) has an opening for a Director of Integrative Engineering at the rank of Associate or Full Professor. This position is a full-time, 9-month, faculty position. The desired start date is August 2025. The faculty member will hold tenure in one of SOE's six departments and develop and grow a bachelor's program in Integrative Engineering (pending state approval) as well as an integrative approach to our First-Year Engineering academic curriculum, working closely with all departments and our Engineering Student Success Center. The Integrative Engineering bachelor's program is envisioned as a flexible, convergent, transdisciplinary degree rooted in engineering, centered around design, and reaching toward other disciplines that pique students' interest, from management to the arts and much more. We have already developed and piloted a transdisciplinary, project-based, first-year engineering course, which we intend to expand, providing a common, integrative first-year experience that engages, prepares, and retains students within the School of Engineering. Additional course offerings for first-year students may include those focused on engineering applications of mathematics; programming, data, and AI; and design challenges in a variety of disciplines that address the great problems of our day, from climate and the energy transition to engineering in world health. The position's faculty rank and salary are negotiable based on qualifications and experience. Responsibilities: The successful candidate will balance teaching, research, and service and direct the Integrative Engineering bachelor's program, including expanding the integrative engineering offerings and reducing inequities in enrollment. This colleague will work in close partnership with University College, the Engineering Student Success Center, SOE leadership, and all SOE departments. Research agenda should include engineering education research related to equitable student success, rooted in frameworks that promote justice, equity, accessibility, diversity, and inclusion (JEADI).
