The Computer Engineering Department at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, CA, invites applications for two full-time, Post-Doctoral Teaching Scholar appointments as a Full-Time Lecturer. This teaching development program seeks to attract and prepare outstanding individuals with completed PhDs for a successful career in engineering academia by gaining teaching experience and training at a premier teaching-oriented engineering institution. Participants will primarily engage in teaching activities in fundamental or specialized computer engineering courses appropriate to their preparation. They will also be supported through mentorship by experienced engineering educators and through the University’s Center for Teaching, Learning, and Technology. Although the position primarily gives instructional training and experience, teaching will be reduced by 20%-25% from a full-time position to allow participants to engage in scholarly pursuits subject to the limitations of available facilities and resources on campus. This is a full academic year appointment starting in September 2023 with the possibility of a one-year extension. This is an opportunity for Ph.D. recipients in engineering with an interdisciplinary mindset to join a unique institution that values undergraduate education and applied research activities. This apprenticeship position will be hired at the rank of Lecturer B with an anticipated annual salary of $64,860 paid in 12 monthly installments of $5,405
