Full Professor Opening – Experimental Biomechanics, Mechanobiology and Biophysics

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University
of Houston (UH) invites applications for a tenured faculty position at the Full
Professor level beginning Fall 2013 or later. Successful candidates are
expected to establish an internationally recognized dynamic research program in
the area of experimental biomechanics and mechanobiology. Special preference
would be given to those pursuing cellular level and/or single molecule studies
of living systems with emphasis on healthcare applications. Highly qualified
associate professors will also be considered. Exceptionally strong candidates
will be considered for the M.D. Anderson Professorship.

As part of a major drive for excellence, including the
recent designation of UH as a Tier One university, the Cullen College of
Engineering has a strong commitment to expand as well as advance the quality of
our engineering research programs. UH is Texas' premier public metropolitan
research and teaching institution with close to 40,000 students. Houston is
home to the Texas Medical Center, the largest medical center in the world, and
the NASA Johnson Space Center, offering excellent local collaboration
opportunities.

Applicants must have earned a PhD in a relevant area of
physical sciences or engineering. Successful applicants must demonstrate a
strong record of scholarship, and external funding, as well as a commitment to
teaching. Candidates should send a cover letter, statement of teaching and
research interests, goals and accomplishments, curriculum vitae and list of
five references via e-mail to Ms. Karina Acuna (kacuna@uh.edu) and Professor
Ashutosh Agrawal (aagrawa4@central.uh.edu).
