About the Opportunity:

College of Engineering and the University are in the midst of a significant, multi-year expansion in size and scope, including faculty, facilities, and programs within several disciplines and across disciplinary boundaries. To support organic growth in strategic areas, College of Engineering seeks senior faculty candidates for tenured appointments at the associate and full professor levels. Appointments will be primarily or fully in the College of Engineering within the Departments of Bioengineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Mechanical and Industrial Engineering.

College of Engineering seeks individuals conducting research that will develop vigorous research programs cross cutting the fields of engineering and/or science.
