The Opportunity:

The School of Design and Construction (SDC) at Washington State University (WSU) invites applications for a full-time faculty member as a continuous-career track (non-tenure track) Assistant Professor. We seek candidates who are student-centered, collaborative, possess relevant industry experience, and are technologically and professionally competent.

The Construction Management (CM) program exists within the SDC, which is comprised of academic degree programs in Architecture, Construction Management, Interior Design, and Landscape Architecture. The SDC is housed within the Voiland College of Engineering & Architecture (VCEA), providing access and potential collaborations with faculty and students in civil engineering, mechanical engineering, computer science, and more. For more information about the SDC and CM program, visit our homepage: (Use the "Apply for this Job" box below)..

The curriculum is a four-year professional program leading to a Bachelor of Science in Construction Management. Upon completion of prerequisite courses, pre-professional students must apply after their first year to be admitted into the program and complete the final three years. The CM program has a robust in-house student internship and full-time recruiting program, active industry partners, and an engaged advisory board.

Additionally, many non-CM students enroll in our CM Minor program from many disciplines including Business, Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Interior Design, and Civil Engineering.

Duties and Responsibilities:

In this role, you will teach lecture, lab, and seminar courses central to the core CM curriculum in the CM (B.S.) program and allied disciplines within the SDC. Courses include, but are not limited to, materials and methods, project management/delivery, construction cost accounting, construction law, estimating, BIM/VDC, and scheduling.

Additionally, faculty are expected to participate in program and SDC committees, mentor students, and serve as a faculty advisor for student groups and/or coach competition teams. The ability to conduct research and scholarly activities in a defined area of interest is beneficial but not required. This is a 100% FTE position with an 80% Teaching and 20% Service workload distribution. The successful candidate will be expected to teach courses central to the construction management core curriculum.

Those with multidisciplinary teaching interests are encouraged to apply.
