The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of New Mexico invites applications for a full-time faculty position as Lecturer III. This lecturer will be a member of the Mechanical Engineering faculty at UNM’s main campus but will teach courses as part of our ME bachelor’s degree offered at the UNM‑Los Alamos campus branch.

Responsibilities include teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in the broad mechanical engineering area. The expected teaching load is three courses per semester, which can be reduced by assuming administrative duties such as coordinating the department’s educational accreditation activities or other research work.

Applicants must hold, at a minimum, an earned doctorate in mechanical engineering or a closely related field by the start date of the appointment.
