Multiple Tenure Track or Tenured Faculty in Computer Science or Engineering Education

Florida International University (FIU) invites applications and nominations for open-rank faculty in the School of Universal Computing, Construction, and Engineering Education (SUCCEED).  SUCCEED is part of FIU's College of Engineering and Computing and collaborates closely with the university STEM Transformation Institute (a community of discipline-based education researchers and innovators). The School houses two-degree programs: a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Engineering, and a Ph.D. in Engineering and Computing Education. Our Ph.D. is the first engineering and computing education doctoral degree at a minority-serving institution (MSI).

Florida International University (FIU) is the fourth-largest public university in the United States and is a majority-minority R1 research university.  FIU has a vibrant STEM education research group, and there are also ample education research opportunities afforded in Dade and Broward counties which host the nation's largest and 4th largest state colleges and two of the largest public school districts. Faculty in SUCCEED work collaboratively with faculty in the STEM Institute and its twenty-seven member Discipline-based Education Research (DBER) faculty and as appropriate with other departments in the College (e.g., Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Science, etc.) to conduct innovative funded education research in their discipline and advance the transformation of undergraduate engineering and computer science education.

Successful candidates will be expected to establish/maintain a strong research program (external funding, peer-reviewed scholarly work, national/international collaborations, mentoring of undergraduate/graduate researchers), teach/design transformative courses in and outside of SUCCEED degree programs, and provide service to the School and College. Successful candidates will also have demonstrated a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

We are seeking faculty at all levels (tenured/tenure-track; Assistant, Associate, and Full).

Required background includes:

• Earned doctorate in computer science/science/engineering education; earned doctorate in computer science or engineering, with expertise in education research; or earned a doctorate in another education-related discipline, with a topical focus on engineering or computing.
• Scholarly activity (grant funding, publications, etc.) commensurate with experience.
• Experience conducting and leading a research program.
• Teaching experience and excellence commensurate with level.
• Strong leadership and communication skills.

Qualified candidates are encouraged to apply to Job Opening ID 525177 at facultycareers.fiu.edu and attach a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a research statement, a statement of teaching philosophy, and a diversity statement as individual attachments. The cover letter should refer explicitly to the qualifications and responsibilities described above. The diversity statement should demonstrate your values for diversity, equity, and inclusion through examples of your past, present, or future efforts. Candidates will be requested to provide names and contact information for at least three (3) references who will be contacted as determined by the search committee.  To receive full consideration, applications and required materials should be received by November 15, 2021. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
