Multiple Tenure-Track Faculty Positions in the Mechanical Engineering Department


The Department of Mechanical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University invites applications and nominations for multiple tenure-track faculty positions. Initial appointments are anticipated to be made at the rank of Assistant Professor, but appointments at the ranks of Associate Professor or full Professor are available for candidates having commensurate experience.

Both the Department and the College of Engineering are ranked nationally among the top-ten, and the university has a strong tradition of interdisciplinary research.

The search committee will consider faculty candidates having interest and expertise across a variety of research areas related to mechanical engineering. An earned doctorate in mechanical engineering or a closely-aligned field is required. Candidates are expected to have demonstrated the ability to conduct research at the highest level, and to have a record of, or the promise for, outstanding teaching and supervision of students.

Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, contact information for at least three professional references, and a statement (limited to three pages) that describes research and educational interests, all in hardcopy form, to:
