Full-time Tenure-track Faculty Position in Fluid Mechanics
The Johns Hopkins University, Department of Mechanical Engineering, invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track, faculty position in fluid mechanics. All relevant areas will be considered, including, but not limited to, aerospace, bio fluids, environmental flows and thermal sciences. Applicants with specialization in computational, experimental and theoretical methods may apply. The successful candidate must have a doctoral degree in a relevant field, and is expected to establish a strong, independent, internationally recognized research program as well as contribute fully to both undergraduate and graduate instruction.
All applications should be submitted electronically as a single PDF document to: me-search@jhu.edu with “Fluids” in the subject line. Applications should include a cover letter describing the principal expertise of the applicant, statements of teaching and research interests and experiences, complete Curriculum vitae, and the names of at least three references.
The Department is committed to building a diverse environment; women and minorities are strongly encouraged to apply. The Johns Hopkins University is an EEO/AA Employer. Review of applications will start on April 15 (but no later than September 15, 2012), and will continue until the position is filled.
Full-time Tenure-track Faculty Position in Biomechanics
The Johns Hopkins University, Department of Mechanical Engineering, invites applications for a full-time tenure-track faculty position in the general area of biomechanics with special interests in experimental and computational cellular biomechanics, mechanics of developing embryos, organs and tissues, bioinspired engineering and advanced technologies for manipulation and measurements of biological systems. Johns Hopkins University offers world-class research and teaching environment in biological and medical sciences with extensive interaction opportunities in the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Bloomberg School of Public Health and Krieger School of Arts and Sciences. Collaborative opportunities also exist with the Institute of NanoBioTechnology, Whitaker Biomedical Engineering Institute, Johns Hopkins Engineering Science in Oncology Center, Center of Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence, and the Institute for Computational Medicine.
