Dear Colleague,
I am pleased to announce we are searching for four new faculty to join the Engineering department at Cal Poly Humboldt. Our
currently open cluster hire is targeting applicants with focus areas in
Energy Systems Engineering and Mechanical Engineering.
The link for the cluster hire announcement is here. Our first review of applications will be on November 1, 2022.https://careers.humboldt.edu/hm/en-us/job/519384/tenure-track-faculty-school-of-engineering-cluster-hire-groupThis is an exciting time for our University, which has just this year transitioned to a "polytechnic" institution. This designation recognizes the hands-on and applied education we have offered students for decades, and has come with a mandate to develop new programs that provide more opportunities for this kind of learning. In response our department is developing several new Engineering programs with an eye towards 21st century societal needs and interdisciplinary, inclusive approaches to education and scholarship. The new programs, which launch in Fall 2023, include Energy Systems Engineering (B.S.), Mechanical Engineering (B.S.), and Engineering and Community Practice (M.Eng).
The people who join our faculty through these cluster hires will have the opportunity to help shape the future of Engineering programs at Cal Poly Humboldt. This search is open-rank. We welcome and encourage applications from freshly finished PhD folks through seasoned faculty with years of experience.
You can read more about the polytechnic transition here: https://www.humboldt.edu/polytechnicOur new programs will be offered alongside our Environmental Resources Engineering (B.S.) and Environmental Systems (M.S.) programs. All of the programs will share our foundational educational approach for engineering students, which includes emphasizing a systems-thinking approach, skillfully applying computational methods and data analysis, seeking opportunities for applied design work to support learning, and valuing engineering work that is done in service to society.
You can read more about the current Engineering programs at Cal Poly Humboldt here:http://engineering.humboldt.eduCal Poly Humboldt is part of the California State University system and is located in Arcata, California. This is a strikingly beautiful and relatively remote corner of northwest coastal California that is part of the traditional homelands of the Wiyot people. Students, staff, and faculty who come to Humboldt are often drawn to the unique setting amidst redwood forests, nestled between the ocean and mountains, and our excellent programs in the sciences, engineering, arts, and other fields. We are a Hispanic-Serving Institution with a student body reflecting the diversity of California.
Does this opportunity to help build new engineering programs, serve diverse students, and focus on societal needs match your career goals? We are hoping to see your application and look forward to meeting you.
Please also circulate this opportunity to anyone in your networks who may be interested.
