The Mechanical Engineering Department at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, CA, invites applications for two full-time, Post-Doctoral Teaching/Research Scholar appointments as Full-Time Lecturers.
This primarily 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.
