Industrial Technology and Management (INTM) in the Armour College of Engineering at the Illinois Institute of Technology (Illinois Tech) invites applications for a non tenure-track Teaching Faculty/Industry Faculty position.

The INTM program is designed for the complex, fast-paced, and often high-risk environment of industry – where technical and managerial competency along with ability to lead, communicate, collaborate, and make effective decision are all vital.  INTM’s value-added curriculum emphasizes the knowledge, skills, and aptitude that are critical to achieving business and operations success in the workplace. INTM offers specializations in Manufacturing Technology, Construction Technology, Facilities Management, Supply Chain Management, and Industrial Sustainability.  These are pillars of a successful business enterprise in the manufacturing and service economy.

Candidates are sought at the Assistant Professor level with an expected start date of August 2025. INTM is seeking candidates with facilities management experience; however, candidates with demonstrated strength across any of the five INTM specializations will be considered. Previous industrial experience is required – for example engineering, management, sales and marketing, or finance.  Successful candidates are expected to teach foundational and applied courses in technology and management across multiple focus areas; support oversight and management of programs and coursework in industrial technology and management; advise and mentor students, special projects, and student organizations; build and sustain industry partnerships; and promote the growth of the INTM program.
