The Edmund A. Hajim School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at the University of Rochester invites applications for a joint, tenure/tenure-track, faculty position in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and in The Institute of Optics.
Applicants must be dedicated investigators, with outstanding accomplishments in a subset of the areas of opto-mechanics, finite element analysis applied to optical systems, precision engineering, advanced optical materials, modern optical design or optical manufacturing. Junior and senior applicants with strong qualifications will be considered.
Preference will be given to applicants whose research interests lie in the area of both experimental and computational opto-mechanical system design.
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to develop groundbreaking new courses in opto-mechanics and precision engineering design which will be shared between the two departments.
This faculty appointment is expected to provide leadership as an independent, extramurally funded investigator and to participate in both departmental teaching programs.
The University of Rochester is embarking on new directions in the Hajim School of Engineering and Applied Science, with targeted growth in areas related to interactions within the Institute of Optics' new Robert E. Hopkins Center for Optical Design and Engineering.
The Hopeman Engineering building is adjacent to the new Goergen Optics-Biomedical Engineering building. Thus, we offer an exceptionally rich environment for engineering, entrepreneurial and basic science collaboration.
