The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at North Carolina State University invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in the general area of mechanical sciences. Candidates must have an earned doctorate in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering or closely-related field. Successful candidates will be expected to teach at the undergraduate and graduate levels, to advise graduate students, and to establish a high quality, nationally-visible externally funded research program.

Of particular interest are candidates with expertise in the area of micro and nano-mechanics systems and design. Topics include, but are not limited to: modeling of nano-composites, nano-bio-mechanics, devices and sensors design, nano-imaging and manipulation, opto-mechanical systems design, nano-manufacturing and MEMS/NEMS.
