Robotics Colleagues,

I believe this faculty search will be of interest to many of you; I
have now been at Oregon State for 2 years, and it is an excellent
place to build a robotics research laboratory:


MULTIPLE FACULTY POSITIONS--MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
The School of Mechanical, Industrial, and Manufacturing Engineering at
Oregon State University

The School of Mechanical, Industrial, and Manufacturing Engineering at
Oregon State University seeks applications for multiple 9-month,
tenure-track faculty positions in Mechanical Engineering. The
appointment may be made at the assistant, associate or full professor
level depending upon the qualifications of the applicant.  Preference
will be given to candidates with strong research and teaching
experience in the areas of design, mechanics, dynamics, controls, and
materials science. Of particular interest are individuals with
research interests in smart materials, smart structures, system health
monitoring, advanced control systems, robotics, computational and
experimental mechanics and complex systems/product design.  The
successful candidate is expected to initiate new funded research as
well as expand, complement, and collaborate with existing research
programs in the school and college.

Applicants must hold a doctorate in a relevant field.  Candidates for
tenure-track positions should have a demonstrated ability or

packages will be commensurate with experience.
