The Integrated Design Engineering (IDEN) program at the University of Colorado Boulder invites applications for a full-time instructor to teach undergraduate courses. This position is crucial to IDEN’s hands-on, interdisciplinary approach to engineering education, with teaching responsibilities in subjects such as Engineering Tools and Analysis (including MATLAB and data acquisition labs), First-Year Engineering Projects, and core courses like Materials or CAD. The instructor will be an active member of the IDEN program, contributing to course development, instructional innovation, and course assessment. This role also includes participation in faculty governance, program and college service, and support of IDEN’s partnerships and strategic initiatives across campus. This is a non-tenure track appointment, dedicated to advancing IDEN's unique pedagogy in project-based, student-centered learning. This position is anticipated to be hired at the Assistant Teaching Professor rank; however, qualified candidates may be considered at the Associate Teaching rank.

The University of Colorado Boulder is committed to building a culturally diverse community of faculty, staff, and students dedicated to contributing to an inclusive campus environment. We are an Equal Opportunity employer, including veterans and individuals with disabilities.
