<div><b>Tenure-track Faculty Position in Space Technology at Boston University <br>
</b><br>
The Department of Mechanical Engineering (ME) at Boston University invites <br>
applicants for a tenure track faculty position beginning Fall 2015 at the <br>
Assistant Professor level in Space Technology, and its Commercial, <br>
Scientific, and Societal Applications. Possible areas of focus include <br>
small satellites, sensors and instrumentation, spaceflight control, <br>
robotics, vehicle design, and space communications. The university seeks <br>
to build upon its traditional strengths in Space Science through the <br>
development of a synergistic technology program in the College of <br>
Engineering. The selected candidate will have the opportunity to work with <br>
a diverse group of faculty through BU’s interdisciplinary Center for Space <br>
Physics (CSP). A joint appointment with the Department of Electrical <br>
and Computer Engineering or Department of Astronomy is possible depending </div>
<div>on background and interests. <br>
<br>
The Department of Mechanical Engineering is multi-disciplinary with strong <br>
research programs in Robotics, MEMs and Nanotechnology, Biomechanics, <br>
Thermo-fluid Sciences and Energy, Acoustics (including bioacoustics and <br>
ultrasound), and related Materials. The department is further strengthened <br>
by its affiliation with the Photonics Center, the Division of <br>
Materials Science and Engineering, The Division of Systems Engineering, the <br>
Fraunhofer USA Center for Manufacturing Innovation, and the CSP. Both the <br>
Department and College are working to implement ambitious ten-year plans, in <br>
line with Boston University’s commitment to becoming a top tier research <br>
university, that envision substantial growth in the coming years. Boston <br>
offers a thriving research and educational environment, and the selected <br>
candidate will benefit from the many opportunities for collaboration with <br>
local industry, labs, and universities. <br>
<br>
Interested candidates should have a Ph.D. degree in a relevant field of <br>
engineering or applied science, and should have the ability to develop and <br>
sustain a funded research program. The applicant should be able to teach <br>
courses in the graduate and undergraduate programs in Mechanical Engineering <br>
or related courses in the College of Engineering. Salary is competitive <br>
and commensurate with experience.<br>
