Lecturer III

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University
of New Mexico invites applications for a full-time faculty position as Lecturer
III. This lecturer will be a member of the Mechanical Engineering faculty at
UNM's main campus but teach courses as part of our ME bachelor's degree offered
at the UNM-Los Alamos campus branch.

Responsibilities will include but not be limited to teaching
undergraduate and graduate courses in the broad mechanical engineering area. The
expected teaching load for the position is three (3) courses per semester. This
load can be reduced by assuming administrative duties such as coordinating the
department's educational accreditation activities or other research work.

Applicants must hold, at a minimum, an earned
doctorate in mechanical engineering or a closely related field by the start
date of the appointment. In terms of desired qualifications, candidates should
have demonstrated expertise in teaching undergraduate design sequence, with
topics encompassing engineering graphics, design principles and prototyping,
computer aided design and finite element analysis, manufacturing and machine
shop techniques, and capstone design. Candidates should have a
strong commitment to teaching excellence and external funding for
research/educational programs. Candidates should have an established record of
collaboration and recruitment with high schools and community colleges. Lastly,
candidates should have a demonstrated commitment to cultivate an understanding
of the rich and varied cultures of New Mexico and to the success of the
university's mission to serve local and global communities.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering is committed to
excellence in both undergraduate and graduate education offering BS (ABET
accredited), MS and PhD degree programs. A team of 19 full-time faculty, and several
research and part-time faculty, support the activities of close to 705
undergraduate students and more than 100 graduate students. We support both a
strong core of mechanical engineering and interdisciplinary education that
include the Space Systems Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, and
NanoScience and MicroSystems Engineering programs. For further information
