Worcester Polytechnic Institute - Mechanical Engineering - Multiple (see below)

INSTITUTION: Worcester Polytechnic Institute
DEPARTMENT: Mechanical Engineering
POSITION: Multiple Faculty Positions in Mechanical, Materials Science, and Aerospace Engineering
LINK: NA
NOTES:
The Mechanical Engineering Department at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute invites applications for multiple faculty positions in Mechanical, Materials Science, and Aerospace Engineering at the Assistant, Associate, and Full Professor levels. Candidates are expected to develop and maintain active research, teaching, and project activities that complement and expand the programs within the department or in related interdisciplinary areas such as robotics and automation, MEMS and nano-scale applications, energy systems, advanced computational modeling, biomedical systems, and materialsprocessing. These searches will remain open until the positions are filled.

Mechanical Engineering Design: Primary areas of interest include computer-aided design, machine design, kinematics, design optimization, or computer-aided engineering. Candidates with experience in the practice of engineering design are encouraged to apply.

Aerospace Engineering: Primary areas of interest include: (1) aircraft and/or spacecraft dynamics and controls; flight mechanics; guidance, navigation and communication; autonomous aerospace systems. (2) aircraft and/or spacecraft structures; aerospace structural dynamics; adaptive aerospace structures or other closely related areas.

Materials Science and Engineering: Areas of interest span all classes of materials and include materials processing, performance and reliability, nanostructured materials, computational materials engineering, and materials for energy systems and environmental sustainability.

WPI, founded in 1865 and located one hour west of Boston, is one of the nation’s oldest technological universities. WPI is a highly selective private university with an undergraduate student body of over 3,600 and 1,400 full-time and part-time graduate students enrolled in more than 50 Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Ph.D programs. Its innovative project-enriched curriculum engages students and faculty in real-world problem solving, often at one ofWPI’s global project centers. U.S. News and World Report consistently ranks WPI among the top national universities. Recently Unigo’s “Colleges for 21st Century Einsteins,” listed WPI among the top 10 schools for science and technology as rated by students.

Requirements:
Candidates are expected to develop and maintain active research, teaching, and projectactivities that complement and expand the programs within the department or in related interdisciplinary areas such as robotics and automation, MEMS and nano-scale applications, energy systems, advanced computational modeling, biomedical systems, and materials processing. These searches will remain open until the position is filled.

Applications should be sent to me-recruit@wpi.edu

Applications should include a curriculum vitae, statement of teaching and research interests, and a list of five professional references.

To enrich education through diversity, WPI is an affirmative action, equal opportunity employer.
