Faculty Opening

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the assistant professor level.

We give high priority to the overall originality and promise of the candidate's work rather than the candidate's sub-area of specialization within mechanical engineering. We seek applicants from all areas of mechanical engineering whose research lies at the frontier of fields that support the Department's vision of biology as a discipline in mechanical engineering.

An earned Ph.D., evidence of the ability to pursue a program of research, and a strong commitment to graduate and undergraduate teaching are required. The successful candidate will be expected to teach courses at the graduate and undergraduate levels and to build and lead a team of graduate students in Ph.D. research.

Applications should include a Curriculum Vitae, a list of Publications, one-page statements of Research Vision and Teaching Interests and the names and addresses of five References. Candidates are requested to ask that references send letters directly to the search committee.

Please submit these materials by December 17, 2007 to Professor Ron Hanson, Search Committee Chair, Bldg 520, Room E, Stanford University, Stanford, California 94035-3032; or via electronic mail to

For additional information contact Professor Hanson.
The review of applications will begin on January 2, 2008; however, applications will be accepted until the position is filled.

Stanford University is an affirmative action, equal opportunity employer.
