About North Park

Founded in 1891, North Park University is a Christian university affiliated with the Evangelical Covenant Church of over 3,200 students from around the country and the world.

Located for over 125 years on the land of the Miami and Potawatomi tribes in what is today Chicago's northside, NPU has recently been designated a Hispanic Serving Institution and is committed to serving diverse populations.

Elevating North Park University's core distinctives of Christian, city-centered, and intercultural, NPU values diversity among its Faculty and is committed to building a racially and culturally diverse intellectual community, and strongly encourages the nomination and candidacies of persons who are Black, Indigenous, and People of Color regardless of gender.

North Park University is located in the Albany Park neighborhood of Chicago, one of the most ethnically diverse zip codes in the United States.

It is nine miles from downtown Chicago.

The North Park campus has often been referred to as an oasis in the heart of the city – a place where students from urban, rural, and suburban backgrounds alike can call home.

And all of this within the major metropolitan backdrop of Chicago:

one of the world's largest and most diversified economies, renowned for its museums and music, and voted best large city in the U.S.

for four years in a row by Condé Nast Traveler.
Mission

The mission of North Park University is to prepare students for lives of significance and service through education in the liberal arts, professional studies, and theology.

Vision

Building on our core institutional identity—Christian, city-centered, intercultural—our vision is to create a university of uncommon character and enduring excellence, where faith, learning, and service meet.

Duties and Responsibilities

The College of Arts and Sciences at North Park University seeks applications for an open rank full-time tenure-track position in Mechanical Engineering in the Department of Physics and Engineering to begin in August 2024.

Spurred by growth in the Mechanical Engineering program, the department is seeking a candidate who will contribute to the program's development as it drives towards seeking ABET accreditation.

The successful candidate will teach 24 semester hours per year in engineering courses based on their qualifications and expertise and the needs of the department.

Additional responsibilities include advising and mentoring undergraduate students, implementation of a scholarly agenda, and participation in university wide service. Rank and salary are commensurate with qualifications and experience.
