Open Rank Professor, Engineering Design and Society Posting Number: JR105406 Location: Colorado Engineering a world of possibilities The Engineering, Design, and Society Department (EDS) at the Colorado School of Mines invites applications for an open-rank, tenured faculty position focused on socially responsible engineering. EDS is a global leader in sociotechnical integration in engineering education, research, and practice and proudly hosts the largest number of engineering studies scholars of any department in the world. EDS is also internationally recognized for our educational leadership in "integrative design," which draws systematically on knowledge traditions spanning engineering, design, and the social sciences. We are unique in hosting faculty from across these scholarly traditions and enjoy sustained research, instructional, and program-building collaborations across disciplinary boundaries. We seek candidates with an established scholarly record connecting engineering to its social contexts and with explicit attention to advancing the social good. Candidates must also demonstrate a dedication to teaching, experience engaging engineering students in novel ways, and the capacity for program development at the intersection of academics, research, and project-based learning. We are particularly interested in candidates who engage with traditionally perceived "technical" concepts though interdisciplinary approaches. Applicants should demonstrate the ability to effectively engage students and faculty from diverse disciplines and be prepared to participate actively within an intellectually and demographically diverse department. The successful candidate will be expected to continue developing an individual research agenda; to teach and participate in the development of interdisciplinary programs; and to contribute leadership in university-wide strategic planning to advance socially responsible engineering principles and practices. In addition to typical tenured-faculty expectations in research, teaching, and service, this position will oversee the Shultz Family Fund (up to $300,000/year for the next four years). Originally established by Mines alumnus Chuck Shultz and his family to provide operating support for the Humanitarian Engineering program at Mines, the Shultz Family Fund is more broadly intended to advance socially responsible engineering across campus, impacting students, faculty, and our diverse communities. Since its inception, the Shultz Family Fund has supported Mines' Humanitarian Engineering undergraduate minors, master's degree, and graduate certificate options, a wide variety of projects in the Capstone Design program, the Engineering with Communities Design Studio, the Sustainable Energy at Mines initiative, the Grand Challenge Scholars program, over 100 graduate and undergraduate Shultz Scholars, numerous Shultz Faculty Fellows and postdocs, the Shultz Family Leadership in Humanitarian Engineering speakers series and more. The successful candidate will be expected to sustain and grow the impact of the Shultz Family fund across areas related to socially responsible engineering. Minimum Qualification:
Candidates should be excited to share in our mission to address the challenges of creating a sustainable global society by educating the next generation of engineers and leaders and by expanding the frontiers of knowledge through research. We are especially interested in candidates with a passion to advance the University's and Department's commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
