The Department of Engineering Science and Mechanics (ESM) at Virginia Tech seeks applications for three tenured or tenure-track faculty colleagues. The ideal candidates are expected to interface mechanics with the domain of biology (e.g., but not limited to human or organismal biomechanics; cellular mechanics, soft tissue mechanics, macro-molecular biology, biodynamics, biofluids, cognitive dynamics); nanobiotechnology (e.g., but not limited to mechanics of self-assembly, nanobiocomposites, functional nanodevices); or the domain of energy, with an emphasis on biological principles (e.g., but not limited to fuel cells, renewable energy, energy conversion, clean energy, energy storage). We are particularly interested in candidates who have a broad understanding of biological and biomedical dynamical systems. 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 as a member of 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 School of Biomedical Engineering and Sciences (www.sbes.vt.edu), the Macromolecules and Interfaces Institute (www.mii.vt.edu), and the Institute for Critical Technologies and Applied Sciences (www.ictas.vt.edu). Virginia Tech is also home to System X, a world-class terascale computing facility (www.tcf.vt.edu).

Further information about ESM, one of the few departments of its kind in the US, can be found at www.esm.vt.edu. The department has a distinguished history; a 2005 review by a blue-ribbon panel consisting of four NAE members concluded that ESM has a "longstanding record of excellence as a key element of the College of Engineering with national visibility". The department has twenty-four faculty members who support roughly 80 doctoral students within and outside of ESM and have research expenditures above $6M. The ESM undergraduate program was recently ranked as eighth best in the nation. More information about Virginia Tech is available on the web at www.vt.edu, about the College at www.eng.vt.edu, and about the town of Blacksburg at www.blacksburg.va.us

Please apply online at www.jobs.vt.edu to posting number 071011 and include a resume, a letter addressing the above requirements, and the names of at least five references. The initial review of applications will begin November 15, 2007, and will continue until all positions are filled.

Virginia Tech is committed to the principle of diversity and seeks a broad and diverse spectrum of candidates including women, veterans, minorities, and people with disabilities. Individuals with disabilities desiring accommodations in the application process should notify the department head, Professor Ishwar K. Puri (esmhead@vt.edu).
