Wed Sep 22 12:07:03 MDT 2021

The Drexel Engineering Faculty Cluster Hiring <https://drexel.edu/engineering/about/employment-opportunities/faculty-cluster/> initiative will facilitate interdisciplinary hiring and enhance strategic connections across colleges in alignment with thematic areas of our strategic plan. We embrace a collaborative approach that leverages our existing strengths and aims to address critical and significant societal challenges through emerging engineering methods and platforms across:

  *   Renewable energy and power;
  *   Health, wellness, and medicine;
  *   Smart, integrated cities; and
  *   Resource stewardship and sustainability.

This will be a multi-year process involving faculty across the College of Engineering as well as other schools and colleges throughout Drexel University, aimed at enhancing the research impact of the college; addressing enrollment growth and strategic teaching needs; advancing our commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion; and building on our widely- respected strengths in these rapidly evolving fields.

We seek faculty hires who will catalyze interdisciplinary collaboration across the cluster themes, attract significant external research funding, and enrich our undergraduate and graduate students’ experience.
