TECH. The Department of Engineering Science and Mechanics (ESM) at Virginia
Tech (www.esm.vt.edu) seeks
applications for two tenured or tenure-track faculty colleagues. The ideal candidates
are expected to interface mechanics with the domain of biology (cellular
mechanics, soft tissue biomechanics, macro-molecular biology, biodynamics,
biofluids); the domains of nanotechnology or nanobiotechnology (mechanics of
self- assembly, nanocomposites, functional nanodevices, biological and
biomedical applications); or the domain of energy, with an emphasis on
nanoscale and microscale problems or biological principles (fuel cells,
renewable energy, energy conversion, clean energy, energy storage). However,
intellectual depth is more important than the specific area of specialization,
since ESM faculty members are expected to have a broad scholarly interest in
engineering with a special emphasis on the fundamental mechanics. A doctoral
degree or equivalent in a relevant area of science or engineering is required.
Senior applicants must have a
distinguished scholarly record with international visibility. Prior experience working within a multidisciplinary
team is desirable, since such research is highly valued in ESM. A large number
of faculty members from other
departments are affiliated with ESM. Our faculty members work closely with the ABOUT THIS BULLETIN
