A
tenure track faculty position at the level of Assistant Professor or
Associate Professor is available beginning August 2008, January 2009, or
later, starting date negotiable. OSU has a strong commitment to grow both
the quantity and quality of our engineering research programs. With 26
faculty lines and 140 graduate students, mechanical and aerospace
engineering annual research expenditures will soon exceed $200K per tenure
track faculty member. Applicants should have teaching and research interests
in the general area of materials science and engineering, with a plan for
development of a research program in an emerging or rapidly developing area.
Excellent experimental skills are required, together with good analytical
and computational skills. It is expected that the successful candidate will
have the desire and ability to teach courses at the undergraduate level, in
materials, materials-related, and mechanics courses, and courses at the
graduate level commensurate with his/her research interests. An earned Ph.D.
is required, with a preference for materials science and engineering,
mechanical engineering or aerospace engineering. Successful candidates must
have demonstrated potential for excellent teaching at undergraduate and
graduate levels, and for developing a strong externally funded research
program in areas where there are excellent possibilities for competitive
extramural funding. Good communication skills, both oral and written, as
judged by faculty and students, are essential. Applications accepted until
the position is filled. Send letter of application, statement on teaching
interests and philosophy, statement on plan for research and securing
extramural funding for at least two projects, curriculum vitae, and list of
five references to:
