We welcome candidates with a strong teaching profile in Systems Engineering. Because Loyola Engineering’s curriculum emphasizes system theory, we are seeking candidates with significant signal processing backgrounds.
This search is part of a College-wide, multiyear hiring initiative designed to hire outstanding researchers and teachers who are reflective of our diverse student body, committed to interdisciplinarity, dedicated to the pursuit of external grants, and appreciative of a Jesuit, Catholic education. As a University that is situated in the world-class, multicultural City of Chicago and dedicated to mentoring a diverse student body, many of whom come from underrepresented and underserved populations, we especially encourage applications from candidates from underrepresented groups.
This position involves teaching courses in engineering and in Loyola’s Interdisciplinary Honors Program. Specifically, teaching responsibilities comprise a twelve credit-hour load including Introduction to Digital Signal Processing (Engineering Systems III), our Freshman Engineering Seminar, and an Honors course on Science and Society. All engineering courses are taught using the Department’s active-learning teaching style.
