Initially, faculty members are expected to be engaged as follows:

• 70% time in teaching and student mentoring
• 20% time in research/consulting
• 10% time in service commitments to the University

This break-up of time commitments will change as the university grows.

Each course has faculty expectations of the equivalent of 10 teaching hours per week, with a minimum of 20 hours a week for students to engage in self-directed and open-ended work. You are expected to remain available to students and to direct their activities / research, but not to perform any conventional classroom teaching during those times. Additional contact hours may be spent on mentoring students or assisting guest faculty to facilitate courses.

Faculty will play an active role as mentors for student projects. All full-time faculty serve as student advisers. We expect our faculty to participate in building growing our University. There will be opportunities to serve in administrative and senior positions with appropriate course release or other compensation.

When not teaching, you will have the opportunity to work on your own research or consult for the industry.
