College Hiring Plan
Major Growth Ahead
The College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences is implementing a massive hiring plan across all our 12 departments. Thirty new faculty members came on board this year, and we expect to need another 100 over the next five years.
We seek excellent teachers and researchers who embrace convergence research. The National Science Foundation defines it this way: “Convergence research is a means of solving vexing research problems, in particular, complex problems focusing on societal needs. It entails integrating knowledge, methods, and expertise from different disciplines and forming novel frameworks to catalyze scientific discovery and innovation.”
