Adjunct Lecturer, Civil and Architectural Engineering and Mechanics (Multiple Positions)

The Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering and Mechanics invites qualified applicants to apply for an Adjunct Lecturer position. Our current need is for one, or two, Adjunct Lecturer(s) to teach either, or both, of CE 218 Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics and CE 427/527 Computer Applications in Hydraulics (concurrent with HWRS 427/527 and BE 427/527) in the Fall semester of academic year 2026-27. Both positions are are anticipated to be a 0.10 FTE position.

CE 218 is an introduction to fluid mechanics covering topics such as hydrostatics, continuity, irrotational flow, pressure distributions, weirs and gates, momentum and energy, surface drag, pipe friction, form drag, pipe fitting losses.

CE 427/527 is a senior/graduate level course on the use of computer modeling tools for hydraulic engineering design including HEC-HMS, HEC-RAS, and EPANET. The Lecturer will teach the theory behind the models, application of the computer models, and demonstrate through examples. The models will be used extensively to perform sensitivity analysis and to design several real world systems. At a minimum, HEC-RAS 6.6 applications should include GeoRAS, and HECRAS-2025 should be introduced for student awareness.

Visa sponsorship is not available for this position.
