Tenure-track Positions in Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics (MEAM) 2024-2025 The Department of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics (MEAM) within the School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS) at the University of Pennsylvania seeks outstanding applicants for tenure-track faculty positions. Applicants at all levels will be considered. The Department seeks applicants who demonstrate exceptional promise for future research achievements, a dedication to excellence in undergraduate and graduate education, and a strong commitment to fostering an inclusive academic and research environment. We are especially interested in candidates with a diversity of experiences and perspectives. An applicant's future research should be rooted in mechanical engineering and aligned with at least one of the Department's core strengths in mechanics of materials and structures, fluid mechanics and thermal sciences, and robotics and mechanical systems. While exceptional applicants in all areas will be considered, the search is focused on two priority areas at the intersection of mechanical engineering and: (1) Precision engineering for health and medicine. Candidates with research programs in areas that include, but are not limited to, diagnostics and microfluidics, wearable and implantable devices, bioprinting, cellular engineering, drug delivery and nanotechnology, and medical micro-robotics are of particular interest. Research programs should be synergistic with the Center for Precision Engineering for Health (CPE4H). (2) Design, innovation, and entrepreneurship. Candidates who will contribute to academic programs in entrepreneurship and design, as well as build an independent research program within the MEAM department are sought. Candidates should have a track record of engineering entrepreneurship and technology commercialization or a research program centered on engineering design and innovation processes. The Department maintains close collaborations with all other departments within SEAS, and with other Schools at Penn, including the School of Arts and Science , the Perelman School of Medicine , the Wharton School of Business the School of Dental Medicine and the Stuart Weitzman School of Design . The Department encourages candidates who can leverage and add to these relationships.
