Responsibilities
The position includes teaching introductory to advanced undergraduate engineering classes in civil engineering, as well as foundational Engineering courses. The department has a specific need for support in teaching subject areas such as Geotechnical Engineering, Construction Methods and Materials, Mechanics I (Statics) and Mechanics II (Strength of Materials). The successful candidate will also teach a course or two in the core curriculum, such as Introduction to Engineering, Engineering Design Tools, Programming for Engineers, or Engineering Statistics. In addition to these traditional teaching responsibilities, the successful candidate will be expected to pursue scholarship in collaboration with undergraduate students on projects consistent with the mission of the Collaboratory at Messiah University (www.messiah.edu/collaboratory). This scholarship involves working with students to pursue applied research and engineering design with an emphasis on supporting internationally diverse under-served communities, typically in a mission context.
Qualifications
Successful candidates for hire into a Term-Tenure Track position, with rank depending on qualifications and experience, are expected to have a PhD in Civil Engineering, or related field. A Master’s degree with suitable experience would qualify candidates for a Lecturer appointment. Candidates must evidence the potential for strong classroom teaching and a commitment to pursuing their ongoing scholarship in partnership with students within the Collaboratory at Messiah University.
The Program
Messiah University’s Engineering Department offers ABET accredited Bachelor of Science degrees in Biomedical, Civil, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering. Furthermore, an ABET accredited Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree with concentrations in Biomedical, Computer, Environmental, and General Engineering is available to students. In 2023 the University launched a discipline-specific degree in Robotics Engineering; first graduates are anticipated in May 2025 with initial accreditation evaluation to follow.
The Department
Our eleven faculty and three full time technicians are highly qualified in their fields, with 90+% of the full-time faculty holding a PhD in engineering, from Penn State, Texas A&M, U-Illinois, U-Kansas, U-Michigan, U-Virginia, U-Washington, and Vanderbilt. More than 230 students work with faculty, staff, and industry volunteers on projects related to clean water access, alternative energy, technical resources for people living with disability, transportation, communications and biomedical instruments and processes supporting partnering organizations in missions and humanitarian service around the world.
The University
Messiah University is a Christian university of the liberal and applied arts and sciences and has a student body of over 2,500 undergraduate students including 20.0% under-represented and 2.4% international students from 21 countries and over 700 graduate students including 20.7% of students from under-represented populations.
The University is committed to an embracing evangelical spirit rooted in the Anabaptist, Pietist and Wesleyan traditions of the Christian Church. Our mission is to educate men and women toward maturity of intellect, character and Christian faith in preparation for lives of service, leadership and reconciliation in church and society. Messiah University is a teaching institution that emphasizes instruction but values research and public service. Strong support is given to faculty development in teaching and scholarship.
Diversity

Candidates should clearly articulate why diversity and inclusive excellence matter to them as persons of faith as well as in their profession. Candidates will speak to how as a potential employee, they will contribute to the advancement of this vision through their teaching-learning, research, institutional service, and public engagement.
