In addition to these traditional teaching responsibilities, the successful candidate will be expected to pursue scholarship in collaboration with undergraduate students on projects consistent with the mission of the Collaboratory at Messiah University (www.messiah.edu/collaboratory).

Successful candidates for hire into an Assistant Term-Tenure Track position, with rank depending on qualifications and experience, are expected to have a PhD in Electrical Engineering, Engineering Physics, Physics, or related field. A Master’s degree with suitable experience would qualify candidates for a Lecturer appointment. Candidates must evidence the potential for strong classroom teaching and a commitment to pursuing their ongoing scholarship in partnership with students within the Collaboratory at Messiah University.

Furthermore, an ABET accredited Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree with concentrations in Biomedical, Computer, Environmental, Robotics, and General Engineering are available to students.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
