Department of Mechanical, Aerospace and Structural Engineering
The department has initiated faculty position searches in the following areas in the 2009-10 year:
TENURE/TENURE TRACK FACULTY POSITIONS
Faculty Opening in Materials Engineering
The Washington University in St. Louis School of Engineering and Applied Sciences invites nominations and applications for a tenure-track faculty position in materials engineering at the level of assistant professor. The applicant should have demonstrated expertise in advanced materials synthesis.
Our strategic plan emphasizes intersections of engineering with medicine, biology, and energy. However, opportunities for collaboration exist in many application areas, as well as in basic science. Research programs of particular interest include: adaptive materials, biomaterials, materials for sustainable energy, and nanoscale materials
.
The successful applicant will be based in the Department of Mechanical, Aerospace, and Structural Engineering (http://mase.wustl.edu/), and will be expected to contribute to university-wide initiatives such as the Center for Materials Innovation, the International Center for Advanced Renewable Energy and Sustainability, the McDonnell Academy Global Energy and Environment Partnership, and/or the Nano Research Facility. Opportunities are available for joint appointments in departments throughout the university, including at the school of medicine.
An earned doctoral degree is required at the time of appointment. The applicant must have the ability to teach effectively at both the undergraduate and graduate levels and to establish and maintain a strong, externally-funded research program. Competitive start-up funding is available.
