This role will also involve handling administrative responsibilities within the department.


    Established in 1969, Oakton is a comprehensive two-year community college that offers associate's degree programs and non-credit courses in northern Cook County, Illinois. The main 147-acre campus is located in Des Plaines, Illinois, within a forest preserve. Additionally, there is a second campus in Skokie that caters to residents on the eastern side of the District and houses the Art, Science, and Technology Pavilion.

    The ideal candidates should demonstrate proficiency in utilizing emerging technologies, actively promote critical thinking, and inspire our students to become well-informed, ethical, and capable global citizens. We are looking for enthusiastic faculty members who are committed to innovative teaching methods at the college level and interested in non-traditional approaches to instruction. Computer skills are essential for this role.

    Preferred Qualifications:
    • Additional relevant experience in Automation/Mechatronics,
    • Previous teaching/training experience in Manufacturing,
    • Master's degree in a related field.
    Additional Qualifications:
    • Certifications in Industrial Automation and Mechatronics.

    Additional Information:

    We strongly encourage applications from individuals who represent the growing diversity of Oakton's student body and community. We are looking for candidates who will enrich interactions with various cultures and display a clear commitment to collaborating within a multicultural faculty and student environment.


    The workload for full-time faculty members over the nine-month academic year is 30 lecture hour equivalents. On average, the teaching load is 15 lecture hour equivalents during the Fall and Spring semesters combined.


    Faculty members are expected to maintain a minimum of 10 regular office hours per week in both Fall and Spring semesters. Participation in professional development activities, institutional, and departmental services is also a requirement for full-time faculty.


    Compensation:

    The starting salary range for full-time faculty, based on a 9-month contract, is from $52,827 to $68,912. Additional compensation is provided for teaching overloads and summer assignments, with potential salary adjustments based on Faculty Negotiations.


    We offer a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, vision, and dental insurance, flexible spending accounts, life insurance, tuition waivers, retirement plans, paid holidays, sick leave, sabbatical opportunities, and a four-day summer work week.


    Appointment to a faculty position is subject to approval by the College's Board of Trustees, with the anticipated start date for this position being Fall 2024.

    Out-of-State Employment Clarification


    As a primarily Illinois-based institution, Oakton College defines an 'out-of-state employee' as someone whose primary work location is outside of Illinois. Different tax regulations and compliance standards may apply for out-of-state employees.


    Allowable States for Out-of-State Employment


    All employees are required to maintain their primary residence in Illinois, Indiana, or reciprocal states bordering Illinois (Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, and Wisconsin) due to tax agreements. Exceptions may apply for employees residing in neighboring states like Indiana.
