Faculty Position in Mechanical Engineering at Boston University

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at Boston University invites applicants for a tenure-track faculty position in biomechanics, to begin Fall 2016. This position is at the level of Assistant Professor.   The department seeks to build upon its core strength in mechanical engineering as well as its collaborative research areas in mechanics of biological materials and soft materials.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering is multi-disciplinary with strong research programs in Robotics, MEMs and Nanotechnology, Biomechanics, Thermo-fluid Sciences and Energy, Acoustics (including bioacoustics and ultrasound), and Materials.  The department is further strengthened by its affiliation with the Division of Materials Science and Engineering, the Department of Biomedical Engineering, the Division of Systems Engineering, the Photonics Center, and the Fraunhofer USA Center for Manufacturing Innovation. Both the Department and the College of Engineering at Boston University are working to implement ambitious five-year plans that envision substantial growth in the coming years.

Interested candidates should have a Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering or have earned a doctorate with a research focus in biomechanics, and have a demonstrated ability to publish in high-quality, peer-reviewed journals. The likelihood of an applicant being able to build a vibrant, externally funded research program will be strongly considered. The applicant should be able to teach courses in the graduate and undergraduate programs in Mechanical Engineering.  Salary is competitive and commensurate with experience.  The formal application deadline is January 1, 2016; however, review of applications will begin immediately so applicants are encouraged to apply early.  For additional information and for instructions on how to apply, please go to: http://www.bu.edu/me.
