NMITE is committed to equity, diversity and inclusion – we aim to build a teaching community that reflects the full breadth of backgrounds and perspectives in engineering, design, and beyond. We especially welcome applications from groups currently underrepresented in higher education.
Do you have a passion for a different kind of engineering education? Do you have a vision for articulate and self-driven engineers with exemplary professional skills who can confidently tackle the interdisciplinary problems of the future? If so, you could be a great fit for the NMITE team!
You might be an established educational innovator looking to take your impact to a new level. You might be earlier in your career but wanting to develop your own teaching philosophy rather than being confined to longstanding structures and practices. You could be an industry professional, with up-to-date knowledge, and a passion for shaping the next generation by moving into teaching. Perhaps you have a passion for interdisciplinary engineering and technology that integrates the liberal arts. Our current team members joined for all these reasons, and more.
