Junior Faculty Position in Transportation

The MIT School of Engineering seeks candidates for a tenure-track faculty position to begin July 2010 or thereafter, in the area of Transportation.

Reflecting the importance and broad scope of transportation activity in the MIT School of Engineering (SOE) and across MIT, the search is being coordinated at the SoE level with search committee members drawn from many departments/divisions.

The appointment would be at the assistant or untenured associate professor level in one or more of the departments or divisions in the School. In exceptional circumstances more senior candidates will be considered. Faculty duties will include teaching at the graduate and undergraduate levels, research, and supervision of student research. Candidates should hold an earned Ph.D. in a relevant field by the beginning of the appointment period. The candidate should have demonstrated excellence in original research and should have an interest in research topics that cross traditional disciplinary boundaries.

Interested candidates should submit application materials electronically. For more information see http://school-of-engineering-faculty-search.mit.edu. The application should include: a curriculum vitae, the names and addresses of three or more references, a statement of teaching interests and a statement of research plans and interests in the field of Transportation.

The application should also include a cover letter saying you are applying for the Transportation position, indicating which departments or areas would be the best match for your teaching and research interests in the MIT School of Engineering.

We request that each candidate arrange for reference letters to be uploaded electronically. Questions should be addressed to search-master@school-of-engineering-faculty-search.mit.edu. Submission of applications by January 15, 2010 is preferred, but all applications received by March 15 will be considered.

We especially encourage minorities and women to apply, because of MIT’s strong commitment to diversity in engineering education, research and practice.
