"Founding Engineering Faculty (Open-Rank, Full-Time)"

Join the Team Building the Future of Higher Ed

At Greenway, we believe engineering education needs a reboot. It costs too much, doesn’t work for many students, and is stuck in the past. That’s why we’re starting from scratch to create a new model: one that’s radically more affordable, better aligned with students’ career and life success, and more accessible, engaging, and effective for a broader range of young people.

In the Greenway model, students learn engineering by practicing engineering from day one. They spend half their program on campus, working on collaborative, purpose-driven projects that integrate the how of engineering with the why. During the other half, students apply their learning through an industry residency with built-in mentoring and instruction. It’s truly a model of earning and learning—one that breaks both the bubble and the cost barrier.

We’re starting small, with a prototype site in Vermont. But our aspirations are national. If you're looking for a place where you can make a big difference, and you're ready to roll up your sleeves to help build something new, this may be the role for you.

What We Believe

We believe engineering education should reflect what engineers actually do: design, collaborate, manage projects, and create value. It should integrate technical skills with critical questions of sustainability, ethics, and equity. It should combine deep experiential learning with meaningful mentoring. It should graduate students who are autonomous, self-directed learners—people who can collaborate and lead, who are creative problem-solvers, and who are ready to engage with tomorrow’s technologies and challenges. And it should do all this at a price point that’s truly accessible.

We also believe this requires more than just a new curriculum. We need a new educational culture and a new kind of institution, because legacy programs aren’t built for the kind of change students and society need. You can learn more about our vision at www.greenwayinstitute.org.

Who We’re Looking For

As we work to transform engineering education, we’re building our founding faculty team. We seek creative, energetic, and team-oriented applicants for full-time positions at any rank. We hope applicants from a wide variety of backgrounds consider applying. We welcome interest from traditional academics, both in engineering and in other relevant disciplines. Additionally, we encourage practicing engineers and K–12 STEM educators to apply, particularly those who share our commitment to mentoring students through hands-on, project-based learning.

If you're excited to help launch a new institution and change the game in higher education—and you bring relevant experience and expertise—we’d love to hear from you.

Compensation and Benefits

We offer a competitive salary of $80,000–$160,000, commensurate with qualifications and experience, along with a comprehensive benefits package. This is a highly collaborative, in-person role based on our campus in Montpelier, Vermont.
