Visiting Assistant Professor of Engineering

The Department of Engineering at Swarthmore College invites applications for multiple Visiting Assistant Professor one and/or two year positions beginning in the Fall 2021 semester. 

Specializations can range across the spectrum of engineering subfields, with particular focus on the areas of Computer and Electrical, as well as Civil and Environmental Engineering. We seek candidates with the ability to teach advanced undergraduates of diverse backgrounds in mid- to upper-level elective courses in the candidate’s area of specialization, for example Fundamentals of Digital and Embedded Systems, Digital Signal Processing, Geotechnical Engineering, or Structural Design.

Swarthmore’s Department of Engineering provides an ABET-accredited general Engineering major, with faculty distributed across the subfields listed above plus Mechanical Engineering and a growing cross-cutting focus on Biomedical Engineering. All courses that count for our major have an attached laboratory component. Like the College at large, we value academic rigor and place a strong emphasis on undergraduate research. The department is housed in a brand-new science building where candidates will be provided laboratory space. Research support is available through both departmental funds and internal College grants.
