The following is a synopsis of the announcements.

Tenure Track Junior Faculty Opening
Biomechanical Engineering

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University invites applications for a tenure-track faculty appointment at the junior level (Assistant or untenured Associate Professor) in the broad area of Biomechanical Engineering. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, mechanobiology, cell mechanics, transport phenomena in biological systems, bio-inspired design, design and analysis of biodevices or bioinstrumentation, biomaterials, and modeling of physiological systems. In general, we give higher priority to the overall originality and promise of the candidate's work than to the area of specialization.

Tenure Track Junior Faculty Opening
Theoretical and Computational Fluid Dynamics

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University invites applications for a tenure-track faculty appointment at the junior level (Assistant or untenured Associate Professor) in Theoretical and Computational Fluid Dynamics. The winning candidate will work in an area of multiphysics transport and be able to use the most advanced computational methods and facilities. Example research topics include, but are not limited to, turbulent combustion and reacting flows, nonequilibrium and high-temperature transport, propulsion, multiphase phenomena, coupled fluid flow and heat transfer including radiation, boiling, and particle effects, energy conversion ranging from combustion to solar and nuclear systems, and multiphysics fluid transport in natural systems including the atmosphere.

Please submit your application online at:
