Tenure Track Opportunities:
The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Colorado at Boulder invites applications for two full-time positions beginning fall 2010. The positions are for tenure-track assistant professors with disciplinary expertise in the areas of (1) Bioengineering (posting #808181), and (2) Solid Mechanics/Materials Physics (posting #808182); higher rank may be considered for experienced candidates. Candidates are expected to strongly complement and strengthen existing departmental research in biomechanical/biomaterials engineering, energy and environmental engineering, micro/nanosystems engineering, materials engineering or solid/fluid mechanics. Candidates must have an earned doctorate in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related field with a strong background in research in their area of specialization.
Successful candidates must have a strong commitment to scholarship, the development of an externally funded research program, and teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels in mechanical engineering. Exceptionally well-qualified candidates with outstanding credentials may be considered for appointment at an appropriately higher academic level. Post-doctoral or similar professional experience is highly desirable but not required.
Interested persons should apply through the web site http://www.jobsatcu.com using the appropriate posting numbers and submit electronic files (pdf format) containing a cover letter, curriculum vita, two-page statements of research and teaching interests, respectively, and the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of at least three references.
Review of applications will begin as they are received, and will continue until the positions are filled. Additional information regarding the Mechanical Engineering Department search process as well as our research and academic programs can be found at www.colorado.edu/mechanical. The University of Colorado is committed to diversity and equality in education and employment.
