Available Faculty Positions
Department of Mechanical Engineering
Fluid Mechanics
The University of Rochester invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in the Department of Mechanical Engineering (www.me.rochester.edu) in the Hajim School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Applicants at the assistant professor level are preferred, but exceptional candidates at all ranks will be considered.
An exceptionally rich and highly collaborative research environment exists at the University of Rochester. The Hajim School of Engineering and Applied Sciences is a short walk from the University of Rochester's Medical Center and School of Medicine and Dentistry, one of the original recipients of an NIH award ($40M) to establish a Clinical and Translational Science Institute. The Department of Mechanical Engineering is home to the plasma physics program and was the founding department for the Laboratory for Laser Energetics, a premier facility for inertial confinement fusion and high energy density science.
Qualifications:
Applicants doing research in areas of theoretical, computational, and/or experimental fluid mechanics are particularly encouraged to apply. Areas of fluid mechanics that complement existing strengths at the University of Rochester include plasma physics, gas dynamics, hydrodynamics, biofluid mechanics, and microfluidics. The successful candidate is expected to have exceptional potential to establish an independent, extramurally funded research program and to teach innovative graduate and undergraduate courses within the Mechanical Engineering Department.
How to apply:
Candidates should submit the following application materials at https://www.rochester.edu/fort/me/:
- A CV
- Three representative reprints
- A statement of research interests and plans
- A statement of teaching interests and plans
- Names and contact information for at least three references
Other information:
Review of candidates will begin on November 15, 2012 and continue until the position is filled.
