to developing an outstanding research program that augments our current
strengths in hydrogen production and purification, coal to liquid fuel
synthesis and bioconversions, and transfer this knowledge to graduate and
undergraduate courses. The new Faculty will also be expected to foster
interdisciplinary, energy related research activities within the department,
college and University; including the research centers. For consideration at the Full Professor
position the candidate must also have an established national and international
research reputation and teaching experience commensurate with rank. Excellent written and verbal communication
skills are required, and previous industrial experience will be considered
advantageous. Qualified applicants
should submit a letter of application, a current curriculum vitae, a statement
of research plan, teaching philosophy and interests, and three references
(including phone number and e-mail address) to: Energy Faculty Search Committee

POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE (http://www.me.wpi.edu). The Mechanical Engineering Department at
WPI has two tenure-track assistant professor positions with an anticipated
start date of August 2007. Required qualifications include an earned doctorate
in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Materials Science and
Engineering, or a closely related field; a strong commitment to teaching at the
undergraduate and graduate levels; a demonstrated record of, or potential for
scholarly research, and excellent communication skills. Candidates will be
considered in the following areas: (1) Aerospace Engineering: Primary
areas of interest include flow control; emerging applications of aerodynamics,
aerothermodynamics, and high-speed flows; aircraft propulsion; aeroelasticity and fluid/structure interactions; other
emerging thermofluid applications. Priority
consideration will be given to experimentalists. (2) Design, mechanics, or
materials: Areas of interest include kinematics, machine design, dynamics
of machines, dynamic modeling, computer aided design
and product design, applications of mechanics to biomechanics and composite
materials, materials processing, properties and performance, fatigue and
fracture, and advanced simulation techniques. The successful candidates will be
responsible for teaching courses and advising projects in traditional areas of
mechanical and aerospace engineering. In addition, the candidates will be
expected to develop and sustain an externally funded research program that is
accompanied by scholarly activities. For full consideration applications should
be received by January 30, 2007. Applicants must send a
curriculum vitae, statement of teaching and research interests, and a
list of five professional references to: Chair, Faculty Search Committee,
