Instructional Assistant Professor in Agricultural and Biological Engineering
This is a 9-month non-tenure-accruing position with the working title Instructional Assistant Professor (Classification title: Lecturer) that will be 100% teaching (College of Agricultural and Life Sciences, available in the Agricultural and Biological Engineering Department, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, at the University of Florida. This assignment may change in accordance with the needs of the unit. Primary responsibilities include teaching undergraduate courses in our Agricultural Operations Management (College of Agricultural and Life Sciences) and Biological Engineering (Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering) curricula and providing experiential learning support at the W.W. Glenn Teaching Building. A hallmark of the ABE teaching programs is the hands-on learning provided in our classrooms with a systems thinking approach. This new teaching space will offer state of the art facilities for our faculty to lead hands-on learning and project maker space central to the Biological Engineering capstone design course series, our applied AOM courses, and support other existing and new courses. Our students, the department, and administration place value on these courses and it is one of the most cited reasons students select and are retained in our major. The position will also provide supervision and support for student clubs/organizations and student competitions.
