THREE TENURE TRACK POSITIONS

The Mechanical Engineering Department at Northwestern University invites applications to fill three tenure-track faculty positions at the Assistant Professor level. All three positions are newly created to address the strategic priority in Embodied AI, cross-cutting all three major disciplines in the department (i.e., Robotics & Biosystems, Design & Manufacturing, and Mechanics & Materials). We seek candidates with a solid technical foundation, strong leadership skills, and a vision to lead an inclusive and diverse research enterprise. They should thrive in the highly collegial and collaborative environment for which Northwestern Engineering is known. Click the following links to know more about each position.
