If you know ANYBODY who might fill this description, and would enjoy a job opportunity like this: let them know! (Mentors, retired teachers, neighbors… anyone with FIRST experience is also plus!)
Heck, if I were out of school… I’d love to take it. But to the person who is hired, you’ll be working closely with me (is that a good or bad thing? )
But seriously, let your friends know. Thanks!
Here’s the copied script:

Title: Gateway Faculty/Academic Specialist
Department: Office of the Dean - College of Engineering
Location: Boston Main Campus
Fulltime/Parttime: Full Time
Grade: 27
Posting Description: The Gateway Faculty/Academic Specialist will teach freshman engineering courses focused on engineering design and problem solving. Advise, mentor and coordinate special student organization projects, such as FIRST robotics competition and Mini-Baja all-terrain vehicle. Minimum requirements include MS in engineering field, demonstrated competence in Autocad, C++ language, Excel and MATLAB, ability to work well with high school and college students. Experience in managing and supervising engineering laboratories (including machine shops) and student projects is desirable. Industry experience a plus. Flexible work schedule needed during some periods. Start date is January 2004. Send resume to Richard J. Scranton, Associate Dean, 220 Snell Engineering Center, Northeastern University, Boston, MA 02115.
I just spoke with Richard Scranton on the subject of salary (we are aware that it isn’t posted in the Job description). Because this is a BRAND NEW position, they don’t have the option to gauge the pay-scale based on a previous person who may have filled it in the past.
Also, in his opinion… they want to attract somebody who fits the criteria and really wants to teach. Not somebody who is only in it for the money. Pay will be negotiated based on the applicant’s experience and abilities.
Because this is a full time job… I wouldn’t be worried about not having enough $ to put food on the table. Actually, it’ll probably be more than enough to sustain a comfortable life-style in Boston.
Ads for this position will be in Boston newspapers this weekend under “Education.”
That sounds really cool. I meet all of the requirements except the Autocad part. Oh well. I also don’t know if my wife would be too thrilled about moving to Boston.
