The Department of Mechanical and Process
Engineering (www.mavt.ethz.ch) at the
ETH Zurich invites applications for a full professorship in Mechanics.
The new professor is expected to establish a
strong research program in solid mechanics, with an emphasis on time dependent
phenomena. Possible research areas include non-smooth mechanical systems,
fracture and high-rate deformation, time- and history-dependent mechanical
behavior of materials, soft-materials, computational mechanics, and mechanics
of multibody systems. The focus may be on theoretical or computational aspects
and the research program is encouraged to include collaborations with the
private sector. Teaching duties include introductory courses (German or
English) and advanced courses (English) in mechanics, for students in
Mechanical and Process Engineering, Civil Engineering, and Information Technology
and Electrical Engineering.
The successful candidate must have a strong research
background and excellent track record in Mechanical Engineering or related
areas, with a PhD degree and subsequent research activities in mechanics.
Furthermore, the candidate should have teaching experience.

a list of publications, and a statement of future research and teaching
interests. The letter of application should be addressed to the President of ETH Zurich, Prof. Dr. Ralph Eichler.
The closing date for applications is 15 August 2014. ETH Zurich is an equal opportunity and family
friendly employer and is responsive to the needs of dual career couples. We
specifically encourage women to apply.
