Robotics Faculty position at Duke University

ASSISTANT OR ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR
DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING AND MATERIALS SCIENCE PRATT
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING

The Pratt School of Engineering at Duke University is currently undergoing a period of significant growth in human and physical resources driven by a highly successful Capital Campaign and a transforming endowment to name the Engineering school.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science invites applications for tenure-track faculty positions. A tenure- track appointment at the Assistant or Associate Professor level is anticipated, but appointments at the Full Professor level with tenure are available for exceptional applicants. Applications are invited from candidates with research interests in one of the following areas: nano-mechanics, autonomous vehicles and robotic systems, and energy technology including traditional and alternative energy sources. Applications will also be accepted for allied mechanical engineering disciplines such as vehicle dynamics, nonlinear dynamics and control, MEMS devices, sensor technology, small and micro-scale propulsion systems, thermal sciences, aerodynamics and aeroelasticity.

Successful candidates are expected to establish a vibrant research program, obtain competitive external research funding, and participate actively in teaching at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.

Applicants should submit a cover letter describing their research interests and qualifications, a curriculum vitae, and the names and addresses of three references. Please submit your application to mems- search@mems.duke.edu as a PDF (preferred) or Word file attached to your email. Duke University is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer.
