Position Summary | The department of Applied Physical Sciences (APS) at the University of North Carolina invites applications for a Teaching Assistant Professor (TAP). This position is a 3-year, 9-month, permanent, fixed-term faculty appointment. The individual in the position will be evaluated annually for teaching and service. APS has developed an innovative, general engineering undergraduate major (https://aps.unc.edu/undergraduate-major/) that is a BS in Applied Sciences with tracks in materials engineering and environmental engineering. This new major will build on an existing minor in Applied Sciences and Engineering and we will enroll new students starting in fall 2024. This program will capitalize on the strengths of UNC by building strong ties to the liberal arts to train students to address the complex, interdisciplinary challenges of today. We seek a dynamic educator who will thrive in this innovative environment and is prepared to design, improve upon, and teach undergraduate courses using pedagogy informed by engineering education research. The successful candidate will join a cohesive and innovative group of faculty who are dedicated to teaching excellence. The TAP will teach three classes per semester including first year classes, engineering foundational courses, and upper-level electives in materials engineering. The TAP will also be expected to provide service to the department by working with the Director of Undergraduate Studies to support the implementation of the new undergraduate program. This could include the development of one or more of the following: an assessment plan, student advising processes, peer teaching oversight, faculty mentoring, and undergraduate laboratory activities. There could be opportunities to teach summer school classes. |
