Visiting Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering

Position Title :
Visiting Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering.

Position Summary:
AUIB invites applications for a Visiting Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering to support the delivery of its Introduction to Engineering course and to strengthen students’ foundational knowledge and skills in engineering. This is a teaching-intensive, fixed-term visiting appointment in the College of Engineering, focused on high-quality undergraduate instruction, hands-on laboratory delivery, and student mentorship. The successful candidate will help introduce first-year students to engineering thinking, design, and problem-solving, while also contributing to core electrical engineering courses, laboratory development, and curriculum enhancement. The role offers opportunities for pedagogical innovation, capstone project supervision, and engagement with AUIB’s ABET-aligned undergraduate engineering programmers. The ideal candidate is an experienced educator with a passion for inspiring early-stage engineering students and building their technical confidence in a dynamic, project-based learning environment.

Key Responsibilities:
1.    Teach Introduction to Engineering: Deliver lectures, design activities, and project-based modules that introduce first-year students to engineering thinking, the design process, ethics, teamwork, and professional practice across electrical and related engineering disciplines.
2.    If needed, teach core Electrical Engineering courses: Deliver undergraduate courses such as Circuits, Digital Logic Design, Electronics, Signals and Systems, Electromagnetics, or Microprocessors, aligned with ABET student outcomes and AUIB program specifications.
3.    Supervise laboratory and design projects: Lead undergraduate laboratory sessions (circuits, electronics, embedded systems, instrumentation) and supervise team-based design and capstone projects, integrating industry-standard hardware and simulation tools.
4.    Mentor and advise students: Provide academic advising, career mentoring, and individualized support to help students develop strong technical, problem-solving, and professional skills, with particular attention to first-year retention and success.
5.    Contribute to curriculum and accreditation: Support continuous improvement of the Electrical Engineering curriculum, contribute to ABET accreditation activities, develop course materials and assessments, and participate in department service, including student chapter advising (e.g., IEEE) and recruitment.
 

Ideal Candidate Profile:
1.    Excellence in Teaching: Demonstrated record of effective undergraduate teaching, with the ability to engage and inspire first-year students in an Introduction to Engineering context.
2.    Technical Breadth in Electrical Engineering: Strong command of core electrical engineering subjects (circuits, electronics, digital systems, signals, embedded systems) and the ability to teach across multiple foundational areas.
3.    Hands-on and Project-Based Mindset: Proven ability to design and deliver laboratory work, design projects, and active-learning experiences that connect theory to real-world engineering practice.
4.    Communication and Mentorship: Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with a genuine commitment to student development, academic advising, and building students’ confidence in engineering.
5.    Accreditation and Curriculum Awareness: Familiarity with outcomes-based education and ABET (or equivalent international) accreditation processes, and willingness to contribute to curriculum development and quality assurance.

Education and Experience:
•    Required Education: Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, or a closely related discipline from an internationally recognized university.
•    Years of Relevant Experience: Minimum of six (6) years of university-level teaching experience as instructor of record, with a rank of Associate Professor (or equivalent) at a recognizes institution.
•    Specific Skills or Expertise: Demonstrated ability to teach Introduction to Engineering and core electrical engineering courses; experience with laboratory instruction, simulation tools (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink, LTspice, Multisim), embedded platforms (e.g., Arduino, Raspberry Pi, FPGAs), and project-based learning.
•    Additional Certifications: Senior Fellowship of Advance HE (SFHEA/PFHEA), IEEE Senior Membership, Professional Engineer (PE/CEng) registration, or recognized teaching qualifications are highly desirable but not required.
•    Personal Attributes: Student-centered, collegial, and committed to academic excellence; culturally adaptable and able to thrive in AUIB’s international, English-medium, liberal arts and engineering environment; aligned with AUIB’s values of integrity, inclusion, and intellectual rigour
