DESCRIPTION

Cal Poly Humboldt and the School of Engineering invite applicants for a full-time, academic year, tenure-track faculty position withan emphasis in Mechanical Engineering, Energy Systems Engineering,and/or Environmental Resources Engineering. We are seeking candidates from any discipline within the School of Engineering whocan contribute to multiple program areas through expertise in the engineering sciences. Priority areas of current need includemechatronics, robotics and automation, mechanical design, energy systems integration, advanced thermal systems, and appliedproject-based engineering.

We particularly value scholars who can support the needs of our growing student body and effectivelybridge multiple areas of Engineering through their research,teaching, and service contributions. The successful candidate'supper-division expertise should support at least one of the Mechanical Engineering, Energy Systems Engineering, or Environmental Resources Engineering programs. The successful candidate should also be prepared to contribute to foundationalengineering courses using hands-on and applied approaches.

The successful candidate will contribute to the continued growth of our engineering programs and will have opportunities to help shapetheir curricula, laboratory experiences, and scholarly activities.

DEPARTMENT

The School of Engineering is part of the College of Natural Resources and Sciences at Cal Poly Humboldt. Our foundational curriculum for engineering students emphasizes a systems-thinking approach,skillfully applying computational methods and data analysis,seeking opportunities for hands-on lab activities and applieddesign work to support learning, and valuing engineering work that serves the greater good of society. In 2027, we will move into anew 74,000-square-foot Engineering and Technology teaching and research facility oncampus.

Cal Poly Humboldt's School of Engineering offers multiple programs.

At the undergraduate level, these include Energy Systems Engineering (B.S.), Environmental Resources Engineering (B.S.), and Mechanical Engineering (B.S.). Our undergraduate programs share acommon curriculum for the first two years, followed by specialtycourses specific to each program. At the graduate level, we have aone-year practice-based program in Engineering and Community Practice (M.S.) and two options in the research-based Environmental Systems master's program (M.S.):
Environmental Resources Engineering and Energy, Technology, and Policy.

Cal Poly Humboldt emphasizes hands-on, place-based learning.

Engineering students engage in frequent labs, field trips, andteam-based projects, while enjoying a cooperative learning environment in classes that typically range from 12 to 48 students.

Every engineering course includes a lab section, providing amplehands-on opportunities for our students. Most engineering lab sections enroll fewer than 25…
