Successful applicants should adopt multi-scale approaches and/or use advanced technologies to conduct interdisciplinary and
synergistic research with the expectation of establishing a nationally recognized, externally funded research program. Required qualifications include a PhD; prior success in obtaining, or the demonstrated potential to obtain, external funding; and a commitment to excellence in undergraduate teaching and graduate education. The application review process will begin on October 1, 2011. Details on the hiring initiative (including required application materials and the submission process) are available at www.mtu.edu/sfhi.
