ASSISTANT/ASSOCIATE/FULL PROFESSOR

The Mechanical Engineering Department at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute invites applications for multiple faculty positions in Aerospace Engineering, Materials Science, and Mechanical 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 materials processing. These searches will remain open until the positions are filled.

Aerospace Engineering: Primary areas of interest include: navigation, guidance, and communications of aerospace vehicles; aircraft and/or spacecraft dynamics; and flight mechanics.

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.

Mechanical Engineering Design: Primary areas of interest include computer-aided design, machine design, kinematics, design optimization, and advanced energy and thermal systems.

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 of WPI'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.  

Candidates are expected to have a PhD or equivalent degree in a relevant area and to develop and maintain active research, teaching, and project activities that complement and expand the programs within the department or in related interdisciplinary areas. 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.
