Faculty Positions-Univ. of Michigan-Shanghai Jiao Tong University Joint Institute

The University of Michigan-Shanghai
Jiao Tong University Joint Institute invites applications for tenure-track Assistant,
Associate, and Full Professor positions in all emerging fields related to mechanical
engineering and related disciplines. These positions are open to top caliber
applicants from around the world. In 2005, the University of Michigan and Shanghai
Jiao Tong University established the Joint Institute in Shanghai with a
commitment to build a world-class academic institution based on the US research
university model. With its unique academic mission and standing in China and collaborative
connection to UM and SJTU, the JI offers faculty extraordinary opportunities to
develop major research programs.

The JI offers BS, MS, and PhD programs in Mechanical and Electrical/Computer Engineering. The
JI models itself after the world-class US research universities in terms of academic
research environment, faculty expectations, graduate program, and undergraduate
curriculum. English is the JI’s official language. The students are among China’s
best. The current enrollment exceeds 1000 students.

We have 18 tenure-track faculty
recruited from premier institutions. The JI will grow to 45 full-time
tenured/tenure-track faculty members. These positions will be filled on a
continuing basis.

Successful candidates are
expected to establish vigorous research programs, mentor PhD students,
participate in the international research community, and teach undergraduate
and graduate classes. Candidates should possess a doctoral degree and
demonstrate research accomplishment or potential.  Salary will be highly
competitive and commensurate with qualifications and experience. The JI has a
tenure review and promotion system comparable to that at major US research
universities.

Please send a CV, statement of research interests and teaching goals, copies of three
key publications, and names and contact information for five referees as a single PDF file to:
