Part-Time Faculty: Civil and Mechanical Engineering

Part-Time Faculty:
Civil and Mechanical Engineering - Spring 2025

The School of Computing and Engineering at Quinnipiac University seeks highly qualified applicants committed to excellence in teaching for part‑time faculty openings in Civil and Mechanical Engineering for the Spring 2025 semester and beyond.

The current spring semester openings are in day and early evening on‑ground sections (some flexibility regarding offering time is possible) for the following courses:

• MER 340L – Manufacturing/Machine Design Lab (1 credit) – Must be during the day – Working primarily in the machine shop, this laboratory provides experiential learning in the context of manufacturing. Students learn techniques, use tools and operate machines used in a manufacturing environment under appropriate supervision. A series of measurement and fabrication exercises culminate in the team‑oriented design and manufacture of a mechanical engineering product.
• MER 320 – Thermodynamics (3 credits) – This course focuses on thermodynamics. It applies conservation principles for mass, energy and linear momentum as well as the second law of thermodynamics. Principles are applied to power generation systems, refrigeration cycles and total air conditioning. Thermodynamic principles also are applied to the automotive system to examine engine performance (Otto and Diesel cycles) and to high performance aircraft to examine the Brayton cycle.

Additional openings for the spring semester and beyond include the following course offerings:

• MER/CER 220 and MER/CER 220L (Mechanics of Materials)
• CER 330 and CER 330L (Environmental Engineering)
• CER 340 and CER 340L (Geotechnical Engineering)
• CER 350 and CER 350L (Hydrology/Hydraulic Design)

A minimum of a master’s degree in engineering or a related field is preferred, although consideration will be given to excellent candidates who possess practical experience or professional licensure.

• Teaching experience at the university level is preferred.
• Proven ability to collaborate effectively with individuals from varied backgrounds.

Quinnipiac University is considering only those applicants who have valid authorization to work in the United States. Quinnipiac University does not sponsor employment‑based visas for this position.

Applications must be submitted electronically and include a cover letter indicating your interest and qualification for the position along with your teaching availability in terms of days of the week and times for the semester, curriculum vitae or résumé and the names and contact information for three references on the application form. Reference letters will only be required at the interview stage.

Consideration of candidates will begin immediately and may continue as long as teaching sections remain open.

Quinnipiac University is an equal‑opportunity employer and encourages applications from individuals of all backgrounds and experiences. We are committed to fostering an inclusive and respectful community.
