Open Faculty Positions

The Department of Mechanical Engineering (ME) and the Division of Systems Engineering (SE) invite applications for two tenure track positions at the Assistant Professor level, beginning fall 2016. The positions are nominally “Mechatronics” and “Cyber-physical Systems,” although the distinction is not sharp, and candidates applying to either one will automatically be considered for the other. The ME department is multi-disciplinary with expertise in systems and control, nanotechnology, materials, fluid dynamics, and computational methods in engineering. The multidisciplinary expertise of the SE Division includes systems and control, information, computational biology, and production, service and energy systems. Both are further strengthened by their affiliation with the Center for Information and Systems Engineering. In collaboration with the College of Engineering, ME and SE are implementing ambitious ten-year plans, in line with Boston University’s commitment as a top-tier, research university engaged in substantial growth in the coming years. As part of this commitment, the College of Engineering and ME department recently constructed a collaborative laboratory space for ground-based and flying robots.

Interested candidates interested should have a Ph.D. degree in a relevant field of engineering or applied science, and should be able to show strong potential for attracting external research funding. The applicant should be able to contribute to the graduate and undergraduate programs in ME and SE.

For additional information and instructions on how to apply, please go to: http://www.bu.edu/me or http://www.bu.edu/se

Application deadline is January 1, 2016; however, review of applications will begin immediately so applicants are encouraged to apply early.
