Job Summary:
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Mississippi invites applications for a one-year Visiting Assistant Professor position. This is a full-time, non-tenure-track appointment with an anticipated start date of August 2026.
Job Description:
Faculty members in this category are hired primarily to perform a limited range of duties. Non-Tenure Track Faculty members are usually assigned teaching or service roles. Non-Tenure Track Faculty members may contribute to the University beyond this narrow definition, but their promotion guidelines and annual reviews should emphasize the principal duties. Certain faculty with professorial titles in these categories can be permanent employees and can expect to be offered annual contracts, unless termination notices are provided in a timely manner as outlined in the Termination of Non-Tenured Faculty Policy. Visiting Faculty, Faculty Fellows, Adjunct Faculty, or Artists/Writers-in-Residence are generally considered temporary employees. For these latter appointments, the employment period must be specified in the employment notification and renewal of their appointments is at the discretion of the University.
