The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Utah has two tenure-track positions available starting Fall Semester, 2009. Candidates at the assistant or associate professor level are sought, and should be qualified to teach courses in one of the areas of specialization listed below as well as other core Mechanical Engineering courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Candidates are expected to develop a very active research program in their area of specialization. Rank and salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. Applicants are expected to have an earned Ph.D. or Sc.D. in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related field. The Search Committees will start reviewing applications the first of December, 2008.
Thermal Sciences:
The candidate should be qualified to teach courses in thermodynamics, heat transfer, and/or energy systems at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The candidate is expected to develop an active research program in alternative energy, micro/nano thermal-fluid systems or other emerging areas in the thermal sciences. Preferred areas of research include energy systems, such as solar, geothermal and wind, energy conservation and energy storage. In addition, research focused on micro- and nano-scale thermal fluid phenomena and related applications are desired. Applicants utilizing either computational or experimental research methodologies are encouraged. Rank and salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. Please respond to “Thermal Search Committee” or by email to: thermal_search@mech.utah.edu
Solid Mechanics:
Preferred research interests are those that complement the department’s existing expertise in solid mechanics, including biomechanics, composites and multi-functional materials, computational mechanics, and experimental solid mechanics. Please respond to “Mechanics Search Committee” or by email to: mechanics_search@mech.utah.edu
Applicants should send a current curriculum vitae, a letter indicating research and teaching interests, and contact information for a minimum of three references to:
