General Description

The Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (ChemBE) at Johns Hopkins University seeks applicants for a full-time teaching position. This is a career-oriented, renewable appointment. The title of Lecturer is the entry-level position for a well-defined non-tenure track career path for full-time teaching faculty, culminating in the rank of Teaching Professor or Professor of Practice. The department will also consider applicants with extensive industrial experience and leadership for a teaching appointment as an Associate Professor of the Practice or as Professor of the Practice.

The focus of the position involves the development and delivery of undergraduate core and elective courses related to the candidate's background, through workshop, lecture, and/or other methodologies. Candidates with background or experience in product design or process design and ASPEN are strongly preferred. The faculty member will have the opportunity to participate in and contribute to other ChemBE programs, courses, and initiatives appropriate for their expertise. Teaching faculty members are also encouraged to engage in departmental and university service and may have general advising/mentoring responsibilities. Opportunities exist for the successful candidate to conduct either independent scientific research or pedagogical research.

Johns Hopkins is a private university known for its commitment to academic excellence and research. ChemBE is one of nine academic departments in the Whiting School of Engineering, on the beautiful Homewood Campus.
