Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering (ECE) at Rowan University invites applications for temporary non-tenure-track, ¾-time teaching positions for the 2024-25 academic year (September 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025). The successful candidates will be responsible for teaching innovative and project-based courses in the electrical and computer engineering curriculum. Applicants with expertise in all fundamental areas of electrical and computer engineering are invited to apply; however, our priority areas – starting with the greatest need are:

digital and embedded systems, computer architecture, circuits / electronics / VLSI systems, digital signal processing & modern communication systems, control systems.

The Department greatly values experiential and project-based learning, integrating emerging topics and technologies into the curriculum, and provides an outstanding, state-of-the-art array of equipment, instruments, rapid prototyping, fabrication, and computational resources to support such activities. Our dedication to project-based learning is reflected in our curriculum, as all our courses have lab/project components. A ¾-time appointment carries ¾ of the 12-credit/semester full-time teaching load, i.e., 9 credits / semester (or 18 credits in one academic year), and pays ¾ of the applicable salary of a full-time instructor, with no other benefits.

Applicants must have earned at least a Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline. Strong communication skills, the ability to work with multi-disciplinary student and faculty teams, and the ability to teach in a project-based setting are essential. The appointment is initially for one academic year, possibly renewable based on performance and departmental needs. 

Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the positions are filled.
