The Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science at The University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) invite applications for faculty positions at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor level in all areas of Mechanical Engineering. Of particular interest are candidates whose research interests span multiple disciplines and emerging applications, e.g., energy, environment, healthcare, MEMS/NEMS. Applicants must have a Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field. Qualified candidates must have a strong commitment to undergraduate and graduate education, and the potential to develop an externally funded research program. Candidates for positions at the Associate Professor or Full Professor level must have a strong record of scholarly and professional achievements, and overall qualifications commensurate with an equal rank at UTD.
The newly approved Department of Mechanical Engineering at UTD offers the B.S. and M.S. degrees, with preliminary approval for a Ph.D. degree. In addition to the Mechanical Engineering Department, the Jonsson School of Engineering is home to the Departments of Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, and Material Science and Engineering and has strong interdisciplinary programs in Computer Engineering, Telecommunications Engineering and Software Engineering. In addition, a new Biomedical Engineering program is currently being developed in collaboration with the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, located in Dallas. The close proximity to the Medical School offers a number of additional interdisciplinary opportunities for new faculty interested in biomedical applications.
UTD is situated in Richardson, one of the most attractive suburbs of the Dallas metropolitan area with several hundred high-tech companies within a few miles of the campus, including Texas Instruments, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Lennox, Rockwell-Collins, Nortel Networks, Alcatel, Ericsson, Hewlett-Packard, Samsung, Fujitsu, Cisco Systems, EDS, Zyvex, and Intervoice. Opportunities for joint university-industry research projects are excellent. The Erik Jonsson School is experiencing a very rapid growth as part of a $300 million program of funding from public and private sources. As a result, the school is expanding its existing programs, recruiting outstanding faculty and Ph.D. students, increasing funded research, and establishing new programs. A $100 million state-of-the art building for interdisciplinary research in science and engineering was recently inaugurated.
