The School of Engineering Education at Purdue University invites applications for multiple tenure-track positions at the rank of assistant or associate levels. Purdue University seeks to attract exceptional candidates with interests and expertise in engineering education research ranging from pre-kindergarten through college and into engineering practice. Commensurate with rank, new faculty will be expected to develop (or continue to develop) a nationally or internationally recognized, externally-funded research program in engineering education, advise graduate students, teach graduate and undergraduate level courses - including in first-year engineering, Multidisciplinary Engineering, or Interdisciplinary Engineering Studies programs - and perform service at the School, University, and professional society levels.

The Department of Education has received a $1 million grant from the National Science Foundation to launch a new Multidisciplinary Engineering (MDE) program. The program is built around research themes that cut across traditional discipline boundaries; core courses will be taught by faculty in Purdue Engineering’s eight signature areas.
