MIT School of Engineering:
Junior Faculty Positions

The MIT School of Engineering seeks candidates for four tenure-track faculty positions to begin July 2009 or thereafter, one each in the areas of:

• Computational Engineering
• Energy Green Technologies
• Transportation.

These four areas have been identified as vital to the School of Engineering (SoE) and these searches are being coordinated at the SoE level with search committee members drawn from many departments/divisions.

Each appointment would be at the assistant or untenured associate professor level in one or more of the departments or divisions in the School. In exceptional circumstances more senior candidates will be considered. Faculty duties will include teaching at the graduate and undergraduate levels, research, and supervision of student research. Candidates should hold an earned Ph.D. in a relevant field by the beginning of the appointment period. The candidate should have demonstrated excellence in original research and should have an interest in research topics that cross traditional disciplinary boundaries.

Interested candidates should submit application materials electronically. For more information see http://school-of-engineering-faculty-search.mit.edu. Each application should include: a curriculum vitae, the names and addresses of three or more references, a statement of teaching interests and a statement of research plans and interests in one of the four research areas.

The application should also include a cover letter indicating which of the four research areas you will focus on, which department or division would be the best match for your teaching interests, and specifying two or more departments and/or divisions in the MIT School of Engineering that would be interested in your research.

We request that each candidate arrange for reference letters to be uploaded electronically. Questions should be addressed to search-master@school-of-engineering-faculty-search.mit.edu. Submission of applications by January 30, 2009 is preferred, but all applications received by March 15 will be considered.

We especially encourage minorities and women to apply, because of MIT’s strong commitment to diversity in engineering education, research and practice.
