Tufts University: School of Engineering: Mechanical Engineering Description Tufts University Department of Mechanical Engineering is searching for a faculty member at the Associate Professor level in robotics. Exceptional candidates at the start of their career may also be considered for an Assistant Professor position. Research thrusts may span the broad field of robotics, but preferably with an emphasis on the interface between artificial intelligence and mechanical systems, for applications including human-robot interaction, vehicle automation, mechanism design, biomimetics, soft robotics, or micro-robotics. The candidate should be capable of teaching undergraduate and graduate courses related to current curricula and new research directions. Additional information about the department can be found at http://engineering.tufts.edu/me . Tufts' School of Engineering (SOE) distinguishes itself by the interdisciplinary focus and integrative nature of its engineering education and research programs, within the intellectually rich environment of both a "Research I" university and a top-ranked undergraduate institution. The past ten years have been a period of extraordinary growth for SOE at Tufts, with recruitment of over half of its current tenured and tenure-track faculty members and a more than three-fold increase in research productivity. Tufts offers the best of a liberal arts college atmosphere, coupled with the intellectual and technological resources of a major research university. Home to seven graduate and professional schools across three campuses, Tufts University prides itself on its culture of cross-school partnerships. Located on Tufts' Medford/Somerville campus, only six miles from historic downtown Boston, SOE faculty members have extensive opportunities for academic and industrial collaboration, as well as participation in the rich intellectual life of the region. |
