The Swenson College of Science and Engineering (SCSE) at the University of Duluth (UMD) has funding available to support multiple McKnight Teaching Postdoctoral Fellows within the engineering and computer science programs. This two-year fellowship also includes a research fund for the Fellow to spend on supplies and travel.
The McKnight Fellow will be expected to teach one course per semester and carry out research under the mentorship of an engineering professor. The teaching assignment is open for any area of engineering or computer science. Importantly, upon identifying a Fellow and through discussions with them, the PI will provide a mentoring plan that describes the strategy for the Fellow to develop the research, teaching, and mentorship skills necessary for a successful career.
The anticipated start date for the McKnight Postdoctoral Fellows is the beginning Summer 2025 or later. This is a two-year position with further appointments contingent upon performance and availability of funding.
Required Qualifications:
-PhD in one of the engineering sciences (Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical and Industrial Engineering) that has been completed by the start date.
-A demonstrated ability to independently design and carry out research projects resulting in publications.
-An ability to teach undergraduate or graduate courses in engineering or related fields.
Application review will begin December 2, 2024, and continue until the positions are filled. Applicants must be able to demonstrate authorization to work in the United States at the University of Minnesota Duluth by the start date.
