Job Description

Position: Adjunct Faculty
Department: Academic Affairs: Faculty

POSITION SUMMARY:

Olin College of Engineering is currently seeking enthusiastic professionals and educators to serve as Adjunct Faculty for teaching contracts in the arts, humanities, and social sciences (e.g., anthropology, philosophy, history, environmental studies, science and technology studies). There are no service or student advising expectations. The anticipated start date is August 2023. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis until positions are filled.

Olin’s mission is transforming engineering education toward a world in which engineering serves everyone. Olin defines engineering broadly, from understanding people and their needs, to designing solutions, to creating new technologies and services to benefit people and society. We seek individuals who prioritize active learning and who are excited about whole-person education, committed to growing and learning, and dedicated to creating a culture of belonging and inclusion in undergraduate engineering education.

Company Description

Olin College of Engineering seeks employees who are passionate about working collaboratively within and outside of the Olin community to support the College’s mission and vision for the future. At Olin, we are educating the next generation of engineering innovators and shifting the definition of engineering. Not only do our students ask, “Who are we designing this for, and what are their values?” They also ask questions about the impact of their work on society.

As Olin evolves under the leadership of our president, Dr. Gilda Barabino, we seek to become a more diverse and aware community, a place where everyone is a learner and where everyone is an educator. Olin will become a place where experimentation—including making and learning from mistakes—will be embraced across the institution, not just in the classroom. Collaboration is key to Olin’s curriculum and culture, and we will work intentionally to reinforce the values and culture to which we aspire. We are a community that thrives on being together; we value trust. The College supports teams to collaboratively decide how they can best do their work, and display a commitment to the community, all while providing individuals with overall work-life flexibility.

Olin College is situated on 75 acres in Needham, Massachusetts. We are approximately ten miles from Boston, one mile from the MBTA Commuter Rail train station, and approximately four miles from the Woodland Station for the MBTA Green Line. We have plenty of free parking on campus. You can find more details on our Visiting Campus page.
