Preferred qualifications: Experience in teaching courses in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science, particularly courses with 100+ students. Experience managing large course staffs.

The Department is interested in candidates who will contribute to diversity and equal opportunity in higher education through their teaching.

Applicants should submit their most recently updated curriculum vitae, a statement of teaching experience and qualifications (including teaching evaluations if available), and names and email addresses of three references.
