  • Two positions: Assistant Professor at Baylor University, Waco, TX, USA

    The Department of Mechanical Engineering in the School of Engineering and Computer Science seeks dynamic scholars to fill two tenure-track faculty positions in specific program areas including solid mechanics, materials, and biomaterials/biomechanics. The positions will begin in August 2013 at the Assistant Professor level. Those interested in a higher position are strongly encouraged to apply, and applications from candidates with appropriate levels of experience will be considered for higher rank. Responsibilities include active research, undergraduate and graduate teaching, course curriculum development, student advising, and professional service. A competitive start up package is offered for both positions as the Department of Mechanical Engineering moves toward offering a doctoral program. Requirements include an earned doctorate in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related field, outstanding English communication skills, a commitment to teaching excellence, demonstrated research achievement, and a commitment to professional activities. In light of Baylor’s strong Christian mission, the successful applicant must have an active Christian faith.

    Baylor offers ABET/EAC-accredited B.S. programs in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Engineering. Five new engineering master’s programs were established in 2004. Hallmarks of Baylor engineering include a commitment to engineering education in a supportive Christian environment, faculty collegiality, small class sizes, a near-100% pass rate on the FE examination, and a high U.S. News and World Report peer-group ranking. The Department of Mechanical Engineering has state-of-the-art research facilities in the mechanics and materials area including on-site high-performance computing facilities for the support of numerical modeling, a motion capture system, and a full suite of equipment for the characterization of engineering and biological materials, including polymers and polymeric composites. The successful candidates will help the department increase research activity, develop a Ph.D. program, and maintain teaching excellence.

    Applications will be accepted until the positions are filled. Consideration of applications will commence Dec. 1, 2012. To ensure full consideration, applications must be received by Jan. 1, 2013, and must include: 1) current vita, 2) individualized statement of academic interests related to Baylor's programs and plans, 3) statement of Christian faith, and 4) contact information for at least three professional references. Further information, including official transcripts, will be required of finalists.
