Harvey Mudd College invites applications for Visiting Assistant Professors for our general engineering program for the 2025-26 academic year, with a possibility to renew for the 2026-27 year by mutual agreement. The Department of Engineering seeks candidates with a Ph.D. in electrical engineering or a related field who excel in teaching in a broadly-based undergraduate curriculum (https://www.hmc.edu/engineering/curriculum/). Exceptional candidates with an M.S. and/or late in their Ph.D. program will be considered. Industrial or other practical experience in the field is valued.
The Department of Engineering seeks candidates who can teach one or more of the following courses:
- ENGR084 HM – Electronic and Magnetic Circuits and Devices
- Introduction to the fundamental principles underlying electronic devices and applications of these devices in circuits. Topics include electrical properties of materials; physical electronics (with emphasis on semiconductors and semiconductor devices); passive linear electrical and magnetic circuits; active linear circuits (including elementary transistor amplifiers and the impact of non-ideal characteristics of operational amplifiers on circuit behavior); operating point linearization and load-line analysis; electromagnetic devices such as transformers.
- ENGR085 HM – Digital Electronics and Computer Engineering
- Design and implementation of digital systems. Topics include levels of abstraction, Boolean algebra, combinational logic, sequential logic, finite state machines, hardware description languages, computer arithmetic, C and assembly programming, embedded systems, and microarchitecture. Lab practices include simulation, prototyping, and debugging.
- ENGR151 HM – Analog Circuit Design
- Design and analysis of electronic circuits based on semiconductor devices (e.g. pn diode, MOSFET, BJT), particularly linear amplifiers including operational amplifiers and associated building blocks. Includes a laboratory focused on experimental realization and measurement of electronic devices and circuits.
- ENGR079 HM – Introduction to Engineering Systems
- An introduction to the concepts of modern engineering, emphasizing modeling, analysis, synthesis, and design. Applications to chemical, mechanical, and electrical systems.
Visiting Assistant Professors will also advise sponsored projects in the Engineering Clinic program. Advising student teams through the Engineering Clinic program requires site visit travel and regular meetings with students, student leaders, project sponsors, and the Engineering Clinic staff.
The salary is $85,000 for 9 months of teaching responsibilities.
Applicants should submit: a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, and the names of at least three references. Candidates should provide evidence of excellence in teaching and the ability to increase students’ hands-on engineering skills. For full consideration, applications should be received by May 19, 2025, but applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
