Description

The Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering (ChBE) at Tufts University invites applicants for a part-time, non-tenure eligible faculty position at the Lecturer rank to begin January 2022. The Lecturer will teach a class on Advanced Transport Phenomena in the graduate (MS and PhD) programs in the department. The course focuses on mathematical descriptions of momentum, energy, and mass transport in systems relevant to chemical engineering. It covers derivations, physical interpretations, and analytical and numerical solutions to the differential equations involved, scaling and dimensional analysis of the relevant systems, and empirical correlations between dimensionless numbers and their applications.

Tufts' School of Engineering (SOE) distinguishes itself by the interdisciplinary focus and integrative nature of its engineering education and research programs, within the intellectually rich environment of both a "Research I" university and a top-ranked undergraduate institution. The past ten years have been a period of extraordinary growth for SOE at Tufts, with recruitment of over half of its current tenured and tenure-track faculty members and a more than three-fold increase in research productivity. Tufts offers the best of a liberal arts college atmosphere, coupled with the intellectual and technological resources of a major research university. Home to seven graduate and professional schools across three campuses, Tufts University prides itself on its culture of cross-school partnerships. Located on Tufts' Medford/Somerville campus, only six miles from historic downtown Boston, SOE faculty members have extensive opportunities for academic and industrial collaboration, as well as participation in the rich intellectual life of the region.
