Research, scholarship, and professional development, defined broadly as continued intellectual growth throughout a candidate’s career, remain part of this role; these activities are intended to support the teaching mission of Rose-Hulman rather than compete with it. Requirements include a doctorate or near completion in chemical engineering or closely related field by the time of appointment. We welcome applications from candidates with backgrounds in any area of chemical engineering; those with experience or interest in teaching thermodynamics or laboratory courses are especially encouraged to apply. Candidates who can further broaden and enhance the educational experience of our students, especially those with prior professional or industrial experience related to petrochemical engineering, biochemical engineering, food engineering, process control, and/or process safety, are also encouraged to apply. The department and institute place a high value on supporting all our students; candidates who are excited to enhance student engagement and community are especially encouraged to apply.

A CV. A statement of teaching that describes their teaching philosophy and pursuit of excellence in undergraduate teaching. A professional development statement indicating plans for future professional growth and how these plans would benefit Rose-Hulman undergraduate students.
