The successful candidate will hold an advanced degree in engineering discipline with significant practical experience. Ideal candidates will have experience successfully teaching and mentoring graduate students of all backgrounds.

The Engineering Management program is housed within the Gonzaga University Mechanical Engineering Department. We are committed to inclusive excellence, and actively promote the success of a diverse population of students, staff, and faculty. Gonzaga University is a Jesuit, Catholic, humanistic institution, and is therefore interested in candidates who will contribute to its distinctive mission of educating students “for lives of leadership and service for the common good.” The University is committed to fostering “a mature commitment to dignity of the human person, social justice, diversity, intercultural competence, global engagement, solidarity with the poor and vulnerable, and care for the planet.” All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to their disability status and/or protected veteran status.
