The Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering at Rutgers University–New Brunswick invites applications and nominations for a full-time, non-tenure track faculty position at the rank of Teaching Instructor or Assistant Teaching Professor beginning fall 2017.
This is an academic year appointment (nine-month) with the opportunity for summer compensation depending on course offerings and grant availability.
