Mechanical Engineering
The Department of Mechanical Engineering, Lassonde School of Engineering, is seeking three excellent candidates at the rank of Assistant Professor or Associate Professor. Appointments are to commence on July 1, 2016, subject to budgetary approval.
Two positions will complement the Department's existing strengths. Applications are welcomed from individuals with research experience in the traditional areas of mechanical engineering such as thermofluids and solid mechanics, but preference will be given to the area of sustainable energy systems, micro-systems (e.g. micro-fluidics, MEMS, and micro-sensors), advanced manufacturing and materials (e.g. additive manufacturing, multifunctional materials, etc.), and bio-systems (e.g. mechanics of bio-systems and medical devices). One position will be in the field of Mechatronics (e.g. electro-mechanics, controls, smart systems, and mechatronics enabled product design and development/manufacturing).
Ideas and experience in innovative teaching will be an asset, while a strong research track record commensurate with the rank of appointment is essential. The successful candidates will be required to teach and supervise students at both undergraduate and graduate levels, establish a strong, externally-funded research program, assist in the administrative tasks of the department and the university, and in due course
The successful candidate must have a PhD in Mechanical Engineering or a closely-related field, and be licenced or eligible for registration as a Professional Engineer in Ontario and be eligible for prompt appointment to the Faculty of Graduate Studies. Candidates will have a demonstrated track record of technical, academic (excellence, or promise of excellence, in teaching and scholarly research) and professional achievement appropriate to the level of their appointment.
