The Electrical & Computer Engineering Department at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant Professor level beginning in August, 2027. Candidates with advanced experience may be considered for appointment at a higher academic rank.
We seek inspiring educators who share our passion for teaching undergraduate engineering students. Our teaching-focused mission is “to provide students with the world’s best undergraduate science, engineering, and mathematics education in an environment of individual attention and support.” If this resonates with you, and you want to positively impact the lives of future engineers, then we think you’ll love what we have to offer.
The department consists of nineteen faculty, and we offer two degrees, a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and a B.S. in Computer Engineering. Both are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET and ranked as top programs in the country for institutions without Ph.D. programs. Most sections run 25 students or fewer. We value active learning in the classroom and approximately 80% of our courses include an integrated hands-on laboratory component.
Essential job responsibilities include teaching and advising students, continued professional development, and service to the department, Institute, and professional community. Applicants should demonstrate a strong commitment to undergraduate engineering education, including laboratory instruction and lifelong personal and professional development. Research and scholarship remain part of the role — professional development at Rose-Hulman is defined broadly as continued intellectual growth throughout one's career, which may include scholarship of discovery, integration, application, teaching, or learning, often carried out in partnership with undergraduate students — but it supports the teaching mission rather than competing with it.
By the time of appointment, candidates must hold, or be near completion to, a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or closely related field. While we encourage candidates in all areas of electrical and computer engineering, experience or specializations in microelectronics / analog circuits, power engineering (any emphasis on smart grids is highly desirable), system design (experience leading capstone projects is desirable), and digital hardware / reconfigurable computing are preferred. The department and institute place a high value on supporting all our students; candidates who are excited to enhance student engagement and community are especially encouraged to apply. Candidates who can further broaden and enhance the educational experience of our students, especially those with prior industrial experience or interest in community engagement, are also encouraged to apply.
Review of Applications will begin on Oct. 15, 2026 and continue until the positions are filled. To apply, applicants must submit the following information via https://jobs.rose-hulman.edu:
- A cover letter summarizing your interests (teaching and professional) in joining a primarily undergraduate institution
- A curriculum vitae or resume
- A teaching statement indicating what you consider to be effective teaching. Please include evidence of your teaching experience or demonstrated potential for excellence in undergraduate teaching.
- A professional development statement indicating your plan to grow professionally or reach your research goals. Discussion of how these goals could support undergraduate education are highly valued.
- Contact information for three professional references
