SWE - Spring 2008 - (Page 70) SWE Smiles SWE Smiles welcomes submissions of humorous anecdotes from you, the readership. Please submit original (non-copyrighted) materials to: swemag@swe.org or by post to the SWE Editor at Society of Women Engineers 230 East Ohio Street, Suite 400 Chicago, IL 60611. MIT Department of Mechanical Engineering The MIT Department of Mechanical Engineering invites applications for a faculty position in the field of Robotics, Mechatronics, and Dynamic Systems and Control. The successful candidate should have demonstrated abilities to conduct a strong research program as well as to teach graduate and undergraduate subjects in these areas. The field of robotics, mechatronics, and dynamic systems and control has entered a new era with advanced sensors, actuators, materials, and communication technology. Growing needs include autonomous mobile robots for energy exploration, security, defense, and environment monitoring; advanced medical devices and systems for surgery, rehabilitation, and elderly care; and humanoids and home robots for home automation, education, and entertainment. Applicants must hold a doctorate in a discipline related to one or more of the above research topics. Applications will be reviewed as soon as they are received. Any applications received by April 1, 2008 will receive full consideration. MIT is especially encouraging minorities and women to apply, because of its strong commitment to diversity in engineering education, research, and practice. Applicants should send a C.V., a statement of research and teaching interests, no more than five publications, and contact information for at least three references. E-mail applications are preferred; send to robotics-mesearch07@mit.edu in MS Word, pdf, or plain text. Alternatively, send two copies of these documents to: Chair, Robotics, Mechatronics, and Control Search Committee, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 77 Massachusetts Avenue, Room 5-214, Cambridge, MA 02139-4307. MIT is an Affirmative Action/Equal Employment Opportunity employer. Massachusetts Institute of Technology Department of Mechanical Engineering Faculty Position - Dynamics of Nonlinear Systems The Department of Mechanical Engineering seeks an outstanding individual for a tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor or Associate Professor without tenure level, in the area of Dynamics of Nonlinear Phenomena in engineered and natural systems. Appointment at higher rank may be considered for candidates of exceptional qualifications. Applicants must hold an earned doctorate by the time of appointment in an appropriate field and must have demonstrated ability to carry out outstanding research; they must also have a strong record of, or promise for, exceptional teaching. Specifically, applicants must have demonstrated strength in mechanics and related fields as applied to the understanding, quantification and/or control of nonlinear dynamics phenomena in engineered and natural systems. Potential research areas are broad, encompassing classical as well as emerging fields in mechanical engineering; they may include, but are not limited to, theory and applications of nonlinear dynamics to ocean and atmospheric phenomena, nonlinear optics, and micromechanical and biological systems. Applicants should submit a curriculum vita, a research statement, a teaching statement and copies of not more than three publications. They should also arrange for three individuals to submit letters of recommendation on their behalf. Two copies of these documents should be sent to: Chair, Dynamics Search Department of Mechanical Engineering MIT 3-173 77 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge, MA 02139 Applications received by September 15, 2008 will receive full consideration. MIT is an equal-opportunity/affirmative action employer. Women and underrepresented minorities are especially encouraged to apply. http://web.mit.edu/, http://meche.mit.edu/ 70 SWE SPRING 2008 http://web.mit.edu/ http://meche.mit.edu/
