Tenure-Track Faculty Position in Mechanics and Physics of Materials - Military Veterans

The Department of Civil, Environmental and Geo- Engineering at the University of Minnesota (UMN) is seeking applications for a faculty position in the broad area of Mechanics and Physics of Materials. The position is primarily intended for applicants at the Assistant Professor level, but exceptional applicants at the Associate or Full professor level can be considered. All areas of Mechanics and Physics of Materials, from theoretical to experimental, are considered, including, but not limited to: multifunctional materials at different scales, deployable prototyping and manufacturing methods, data-driven material design, architected materials and metamaterials, mechanics of geomaterials, materials for applications in hazardous environments, and materials for space exploration, environmental remediation, climate change mitigation, and infrastructure.

Emphasis will be placed on the quality, creativity and intellectual distinction of the candidates' research and scholarship. We are interested in scholars with strong core fundamentals in science and engineering that allow them to move easily across disciplinary boundaries and work collaboratively to solve complex problems at the frontier of their disciplines.

Successful candidates will be expected to maintain a strong externally-funded research program. Teaching responsibilities include existing undergraduate and graduate courses, as well as development of new courses in the candidate's specialty areas. An earned doctorate is required at the time of the appointment. Candidates seeking the rank of Associate Professor or Professor must have a strong record of success commensurate with the appointment level.
