Assistant or Associate Professor in the School of
Universal Computing, Construction, and Engineering Education

Florida International University (FIU) invites applications and nominations for an Assistant or Associate Professor in the School of Universal Computing, Construction, and Engineering Education (SUCCEED). SUCCEED (https://succeed.fiu.edu/)  is part of FIU's College of Engineering and Computing and collaborates closely with the university STEM Transformation Institute (a community of discipline-based education researchers and innovators). The School houses two degree programs: a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Engineering, and a Ph.D. in Engineering and Computing Education. Our Ph.D. program is the first engineering education doctoral degree at a minority-serving institution (MSI) and the first computing education doctoral degree program in the US.

Florida International University (FIU) is the fourth-largest public university in the United States and is a majority-minority R1 research university.  FIU has a vibrant STEM education research group, and there are also ample education research opportunities afforded in Dade and Broward counties which host the nation's largest and 4th largest state colleges and two of the largest public-school districts.
