Open-Rank Teaching Professor, Civil & Environmental Engineering (CEE)The Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering (CEE) at Rowan University invites applications for a non-tenure track, full-time Assistant Teaching Professor position. Candidates with extensive professional experience and a PE may be considered for the Associate Teaching professor position. We house two major centers a) CREATES (Center for Research and Education in Advanced Transportation Engineering Systems) and the Sustainable Facilities Center and have a thriving research community with a growing graduate program. The department is home to roughly 300 undergraduates, 85 MS/PhD students, 12 faculty members, and 2 staff members. The CEE undergraduate program has consistently received high recognition from employers and academic peers with its multidisciplinary “Engineering Clinics” as a hallmark.

We seek energetic and innovative teachers committed to excellence in engineering education to join our dedicated family of faculty members.  Successful candidates will be responsible for teaching innovative and project-based courses in the Civil & Environmental Engineering curriculum. Applicants with expertise in all fundamental areas of Civil & Environmental Engineering are invited to apply. However, our priority areas are listed below:

• Structural Engineering: Statics; Solid Mechanics; Structural Analyses; Steel Design; Reinforced Concrete; Prestressed Concrete; Advanced Portland Cement; Advanced Structural Analyses
• Environmental/Water Resources Engineering: Fluid Mechanics; Water Resources Engineering; Environmental Engineering; Surface Hydrology; Watershed Management; Solid and Hazardous Waste Management

The Civil and Environmental Engineering Department greatly values experiential and project-based learning, integrating emerging topics and technologies into the curriculum, and provides outstanding and state-of-the-art laboratories that support teaching and research. We seek individuals who are passionate about teaching and have the skills and dedication to develop innovative hands-on lab projects or other experiential learning activities using appropriate modern tools, and the ability to integrate such projects/activities into the course content. Any experience with assessment, pedagogy and scholarship of engineering education would be very valuable.

The Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering was founded in 1995 and quickly gained national recognition for its innovative multidisciplinary, project-based approach to engineering education, establishing itself as a national leader in engineering education. In 2013, the State of New Jersey designated Rowan University a comprehensive research university, and in 2017 our university was recognized as a Carnegie-classified research institution. During that period, Rowan Engineering doubled both its full-time faculty and student population, as well as started its engineering PhD programs. In 2017, we opened the doors of Engineering Hall and, in 2023, completed a full renovation of our original home, Rowan Hall. These projects tripled our available space and provided the College with state-of-the-art research and teaching facilities. The College currently enrolls over 1,800 undergraduate and graduate students in six departments and is home to five research centers. The Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering is located on the main campus in Glassboro, NJ (20 miles southeast of Philadelphia).
