Position Details
The University of Washington Bothell (UWB) invites applications for a faculty position in mechanical engineering at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor on a full-time basis for a nine-month academic year appointment beginning September 16, 2014.  We seek an experienced educator who has an established funded research program, and who will help develop as well as teach courses in mechanical design, dynamics, and electives in the candidate’s area of expertise in a newly established undergraduate mechanical engineering major.  All university faculty engage in teaching, research and service.
With an anticipated launch in fall 2014, our Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering emphasizes hands-on design, collaborative problem-solving, and ethical practice in a diverse and global society.  We are especially interested in developing expertise in clean energy and biomedical engineering, both of which are rich in opportunities for collaboration with local industry. Preference will be given to candidates whose record of teaching and scholarship resonates with the institutional objectives of situating mechanical engineering in the larger societal context, tackling ethical implications, building educational synergy with the electrical engineering program, and forging connections across disciplines inside and outside of engineering as well as with local industry.
The successful candidate will have an earned Ph.D. in mechanical engineering, or other relevant field, and have a demonstrated capacity to contribute to the institution’s broader objectives.  These capacities include recruiting and retaining a diverse and representative student population, interest in and use of advanced teaching methods to enhance learning and improve access to education, and an interest in establishing or enhancing working relationships with both local high-tech companies and the other UW campuses in Seattle and Tacoma.  Preference will be given to candidates with experience in the ABET accreditation of an undergraduate ME program.  Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. Priority deadline is January 17, 2014
The School of STEM offers seven undergraduate degrees and two graduate degrees within its four Divisions of Biological Sciences, Computing and Software Systems, Engineering and Mathematics, and Physical Sciences.   Interactive Media Design and Mathematics degrees were launched in Autumn 2013, a degree in Chemistry is planned to begin in the Fall of 2014 and degrees in Physics, Mechanical Engineering and Computer Engineering are planned for initiation during the next two to four years. We also offer master’s degrees in Computer Science and Software Engineering, a master’s degree in Cyber Security Engineering beginning Fall 2013, and plan to offer a master’s degree in Electrical Engineering beginning fall 2014. Our present laboratory facilities will be augmented in Autumn 2014 by the new 74,000 square-foot Science and Academic Building, which will include eleven new science and engineering laboratories.
The Bothell campus of the University of Washington, located approximately 20 miles northeast of Seattle, serves approximately 4100 traditional and non-traditional students and offers degrees through the Schools of Business, Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), and the Education, and Nursing and Health Studies programs. Since its opening in 1990, UWB has offered creative, interdisciplinary curricula, and a dynamic community of multicultural teaching. It is now the fastest growing campus in the state of Washington.
The University is an affirmative action, equal opportunity employer. The University of Washington Bothell is dedicated to the goal of building a culturally diverse and pluralistic faculty and staff committed to teaching and working in a multicultural environment and strongly encourages applications from women, minorities, individuals with disabilities and other eligible veterans. We are particularly interested in faculty who contribute to diversifying the undergraduate and graduate curricula.
The successful candidate will have an earned Ph.D. in mechanical engineering, or other relevant field, and have a demonstrated capacity to contribute to the institution’s broader objectives.  These capacities include recruiting and retaining a diverse and representative student population, interest in and use of advanced teaching methods to enhance learning and improve access to education, and an interest in establishing or enhancing working relationships with both local high-tech companies and the other UW campuses in Seattle and Tacoma.  Preference will be given to candidates with experience in the ABET accreditation of an undergraduate ME program.  Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.
