The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at The George Washington University invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the assistant or associate professor level, beginning as early as Fall 2019. All areas of mechanical engineering are of interest, including robotics, controls, mechatronics and autonomous systems.
We seek candidates that can augment or complement existing research strengths in energy, bioinspired engineering, fluid mechanics and thermal science, materials science and mechanics, nano/microsystems, and robotics and controls. New faculty will join a vibrant department housed in a new $275M Science and Engineering Hall that encourages interdisciplinary efforts across science and engineering. Current research is supported by federal sources including NSF, NIH, NIST, DARPA, DOD, DOE, and a variety of industrial sources.
The George Washington University is the largest academic institution in the nation’s capital. The exceptional location affords the GW community unique cultural and intellectual opportunities, with close access to many federal funding agencies, research laboratories, and one of the largest concentrations of technology companies in the nation.
