The Department of Aerospace Engineering at Iowa State University (www.aere.iastate.edu) invites applicants for faculty positions in each of the broad areas of Computational Propulsion, Thermal Management & Heat Transfer, and Experimental Robotics & Autonomous Aerospace Systems. Applications are sought for tenured and tenuretrack appointments at the level of Assistant or Associate Professor, and exceptional candidates who qualify for the rank of Full Professor may also be considered for the Dennis and Rebecca Muilenburg Chair in Aerospace Engineering.

Stop Trying To Get Tenure and Start Trying To Enjoy Yourself

One of my junior colleagues forwarded the above article to me, and I read with interest. I think it could also resonate the interest of many people here in iMechanica. I welcome your comments, especially from our been-there done-that tenured colleagues.

The Department of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering at Kansas State University invites applications for a tenure-track position in solid mechanics. The new faculty member is expected to enhance and complement current research areas in the department. Our strategic focus is on physics-based mechanics. Current solid mechanics research areas include: ballistics of composite materials, fabrication and characterization of nano- and micro-scale materials, phononic band gap materials, metamaterials, fracture, and adhesion. Qualifications include a doctorate in Mechanical Engineering or related field, a desire to teach at all levels, and an ability to obtain sustained research funding.
