About The Position
Keene State College and the Department of Sustainable Product Design and Architecture (SPDA) invites applications for a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in our multi-disciplinary Sustainable Product Design and Innovation (SPDI) program to begin August 2025. Highly desirable candidates will have proven expertise in Design and Development of New Products with an emphasis on prototyping utilizing many materials, manufacturing processes, and sustainability principles. The SPDI program and its advanced manufacturing labs were created for ideation, digital and manual fabrication, prototyping and manufacturing. Housed in the LEED platinum certified Technology, Design and Safety (TDS) Center, we use this educational facility to support our experiential-learning pedagogy. The labs have an extensive array of classic, digital and state-of-the-art prototyping and manufacturing processing equipment for metals, wood, electronics, polymers and many other materials supported with professional-level computer systems. The facility supports learning product design, engineering, manufacturing, and their related fields with current expansion to increase ultra-precision machining for optics. We strive to provide and ensure a welcoming, supportive, 'maker space' for SPDI students, staff and faculty. Interdisciplinary approaches and engaging undergraduates in learning about the product design and innovation processes and manufacturing engineering are core to the SPDI program. It is expected that the new faculty member will commit to integrating sustainability issues into all courses. Faculty will be expected to encourage the development of our student design/engineering community while collaborating with colleagues, related academic disciplines and the regional manufacturing community.
