The Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (HSEAS) seeks applicants for openings at the level of tenure-track assistant professors in mechanics in association with all areas of engineering. The ideal candidate will have high expertise in fluid and/or solid mechanics and will also have a demonstrated commitment to significant and innovative applications in engineering.
The position requires a Ph.D. in engineering or a closely related field, the ability to develop a leading research program, and enthusiasm for teaching both graduate and undergraduate courses in engineering.  Successful candidates will work with HSEAS faculty to develop a curriculum for our ABET-accredited engineering program.

Harvard University is committed to increasing its investment in engineering, as exemplified by the recent reorganization of the engineering program into the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. New construction of facilities and a substantial increase in the size of faculty are in progress. HSEAS benefits from outstanding undergraduate and graduate students and a collaborative research environment without departmental boundaries.

Applicants should send a cover letter, CV, a statement of teaching interests, a statement of research plans, copies of three publications, and names and contact information for at least three references. These documents should be submitted as pdf attachments to MECHsearch@seas.harvard.edu.

We encourage applications before 15 November 2008, but will continue to review new applications until the positions are filled.  Harvard University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer and applications from women and underrepresented minorities are strongly encouraged.
