Tenure-track Faculty Position in Space Technology at Boston University

The Department of Mechanical Engineering (ME) at Boston University invites
applicants for a tenure track faculty position beginning Fall 2015 at the
Assistant Professor level in Space Technology, and its Commercial,
Scientific, and Societal Applications.  Possible areas of focus include
small satellites, sensors and instrumentation, spaceflight control,
robotics, vehicle design, and space communications.   The university seeks
to build upon its traditional strengths in Space Science through the
development of a synergistic technology program in the College of
Engineering.   The selected candidate will have the opportunity to work with
a diverse group of faculty through BU’s interdisciplinary Center for Space
Physics (CSP).   A joint appointment with the Department of Electrical
and Computer Engineering or Department of Astronomy is possible depending
on background and interests.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering is multi-disciplinary with strong
research programs in Robotics, MEMs and Nanotechnology, Biomechanics,
Thermo-fluid Sciences and Energy, Acoustics (including bioacoustics and
ultrasound), and related Materials.  The department is further strengthened
by its affiliation with the Photonics Center, the Division of
Materials Science and Engineering, The Division of Systems Engineering, the
Fraunhofer USA Center for Manufacturing Innovation, and the CSP.  Both the
Department and College are working to implement ambitious ten-year plans, in
line with Boston University’s commitment to becoming a top tier research
university, that envision substantial growth in the coming years. Boston
offers a thriving research and educational environment, and the selected
candidate will benefit from the many opportunities for collaboration with
local industry, labs, and universities.

Interested candidates should have a Ph.D. degree in a relevant field of
engineering or applied science, and should have the ability to develop and
sustain a funded research program. The applicant should be able to teach
courses in the graduate and undergraduate programs in Mechanical Engineering
or related courses in the College of Engineering.  Salary is competitive
and commensurate with experience.
