Sessional Lecturer CHE462H1: Food Engineering

About the role

The quantitative application of chemical engineering principles to the large-scale production of food. Food processing at the molecular and unit operation levels. The chemistry and kinetics of specific food processes. The application of chemical engineering unit operations (distillation, extraction, drying) and food specific unit operations such as extrusion, thermal processing refrigeration/freezing.

Responsibilities

• Developing a course syllabus and course materials (e.g., assignments, tests, exams).
• Instructing / teaching, and testing.
• Conducting office hours.
• Coordinating tutorials with TA assistance.
• Marking / grading assessments (quizzes, tests, assignments, exams).
• Providing constructive feedback to students.

Requirements

Minimum Qualifications: A graduate degree (Master’s or Doctorate) in Chemical Engineering, Food Engineering, Food Science, or a closely related discipline, with demonstrated knowledge of chemical engineering principles relevant to food processing. Experience with quantitative analysis and engineering applications involving heat and mass transfer, reaction kinetics, and/or unit operations is required. Applicants must demonstrate effective communication skills and the ability to support student learning in an engineering environment. Candidates in progress of advanced degree completion (applies to non-University of Toronto graduate students) relevant professional experience and designations may also be considered.

Preferred Qualifications: Previous teaching in the subject area or related area is highly desirable. Relevant research or industrial experience in food processing, food safety and quality, or process engineering is also preferred.
