Applications are invited for a tenure-track faculty position in the Lab Instructor category in the Industrial Systems Engineering program.

Situated in beautiful Wascana Park, one of the largest urban parks in North America, the University of Regina is a comprehensive institution that emphasizes excellence in teaching and research, as well as public service. Experiential learning and cross-disciplinary teaching are strongly supported.

The Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science presently offers five programs in Electronic, Environmental, Industrial, Petroleum and Software Systems Engineering that are accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board. A new Energy Systems Engineering program started in Fall 2023. We also offer M. Eng., M.A.Sc. and Ph.D. programs, as well as interdisciplinary graduate programs. The Faculty offers unique Co-operative Education and Internship programs and has approximately 650 undergraduate and 350 graduate students (about 140 graduate students are in Ph.D. programs). The Faculty has a strong commitment to providing an excellent “systems approach” to engineering education. Each program has a unique implementation of the systems theme, founded on the common underlying goal of producing engineering graduates with a strong base of technical knowledge and with the breadth of complementary skills that successful professional engineers should have in the workplace.

The Faculty enjoys close collaborative relationships with industry and government research laboratories. These include the Sylvia Fedoruk Canadian Centre for Nuclear Innovation, SaskPower, the Saskatchewan Research Council, the University’s Clean Energy Transition Hub (CETH), Clean Energy Technologies Research Institute (CETRI) and the Institute for Energy, Environment and Sustainable Communities (IEESC). More information on the Faculty can be found on our website at: https://www.uregina.ca/engineering/.

The successful candidate must have the ability and enthusiasm to develop, revise, and conduct undergraduate lab courses in core industrial systems topics. In addition to lab courses in core Industrial Systems Engineering (ISE) topics (ENIN 350/ENIN 355/ENIN 253/ENIN 453), the successful candidate will be required to conduct lab courses in the Process Engineering (ENIN 455/ ENIN 456/ ENIN 457) and General Engineering (ENGG 330) areas. The successful candidate will need to become familiar with common unit operations such as reactors (batch, CSTR, plug, etc.), heat exchangers, pumps, absorption and distillation columns, evaporators, fuel cell, heat-pump, and refrigeration unit. Preference will be given to individuals with at least 2 years’ experience in industry or a laboratory setting and those with previous teaching experience and who are familiar with the software packages implemented in ISE such as Aspen Plus, ProMax, Comsol Multiphysics, Ansys, Minitab, MATLAB, and design modeling package. The successful candidate will be familiar with the function and operation of a wide range of process and chemical equipment and will have demonstrated experience in operating, maintaining, and troubleshooting. The successful candidate will have a demonstrated ability to work successfully in a team environment with superior verbal and written communications skills. The successful candidate will be required to show a strong commitment to teaching and developing new labs as well as Faculty and university service during their appointment.

Applicants will have one of the following:

· B.A.Sc. or equivalent in Process engineering or Industrial Systems engineering or a closely related area. The candidate will also have the appropriate credentials for registration as a Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) in Saskatchewan.

· Diploma of Applied Science/Technology in Process engineering or Industrial Systems engineering or a closely related area. The candidate will also have the appropriate credentials for registration as an Applied Science Technologist in Saskatchewan. Applied Science Technologists are expected to work toward registration with APEGS as an Engineering Licensee during the course of their employment.
