Faculty Opening


The Department of Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University (http://me.stanford.edu/) invites applications for a tenure-track assistant and/or untenured associate professor faculty position opening.

An earned Ph.D., evidence of the ability to pursue a program of research, and a strong commitment to graduate and undergraduate teaching are required. The successful candidate will be expected to teach courses at the graduate and undergraduate levels and to build and lead a team of graduate students in Ph.D. research.

Applications should include a curriculum vitae with a list of publications, a one-page statement each of research vision and teaching interests, and the names and addresses of five references. Please submit your application online at:
