The Department of Mechanical Engineering seeks an outstanding individual at the rank of Assistant Professor or Associate Professor without tenure, in the area of Computational Mechanics.

Applicants must hold an earned doctorate by the time of appointment in an appropriate field and must have a demonstrated ability to carry out outstanding research; they must also have a strong record of, or promise for, exceptional teaching.  Specifically, applicants must be strong in solid mechanics, and must have demonstrated strength to advance the frontiers of research in modeling, computation, and simulation as practiced in engineering and the sciences underpinning engineering.  The computational mechanics research should address the development of novel, robust methods of analysis, and probe deeply into multi-scale and multi-physics phenomena in a new or emerging field.  Topical areas of interest are broad, and may include the design of new materials for extreme loading conditions, nano-engineering, renewable energy sources, bio-engineering, and the medical sciences.

See Above.

Applicants should send a curriculum vita, a research statement, a teaching statement, and copies of not more than three publications. They should also arrange for four individuals to submit letters of recommendation on their behalf. This information must be entered electronically at the following site: http://search-meche.mit.edu
