Faculty Job Opportunities
The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science at Columbia University
The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science, as a part of the world-class teaching and Research University, strives to provide the best in both undergraduate and graduate education. We are preparing engineering leaders who will solve the problems of the new century, fostering scientific inquiry but never losing sight of its human implications. The School's programs are designed to produce well-educated engineers who can put their knowledge to work for society. This broad educational thrust takes advantage of the School's links to a great liberal arts college and to distinguished graduate programs in law, business, and medicine.
Through a synergy of teaching and research, we seek to educate a distinguished cadre of leaders in engineering and applied science who will thrive in an atmosphere of recently emerging technologies.

Department of Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics
Tenure-Track Faculty Positions in Sustainable Engineering (Two)
The Department of Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics invites applications for two tenure-track faculty positions to support a department initiative in Sustainable Engineering.
Qualified individuals are sought with expertise in either:
- Computational mechanics – with an emphasis on large-scale computing applies to multiscale, multi-phase modeling of materials (from nano- to macro-scale), and/or mechanics and materials challenges in energy and/or environment.
- Experimental mechanics – with emphasis on mechanic and materials challenges in energy and/or the environment, composites and other complex multi-scale, multi-phase materials.
Both appointments will start July 1, 2008 and are primarily sought at the assistant level. However, candidates with exceptional qualifications can be considered for higher-level appointments. A Ph.D. in engineering or another related field is required. The successful candidates are expected to develop strong externally funded research programs, support the department’s new interdisciplinary initiative in Sustainable Engineering, as well as other interdisciplinary research initiatives within the Department, The School and the University, and contribute to teaching undergraduate and graduate level courses in the Department and the School.
Applicants for either position should send a curriculum vitae, a description of teaching and research interests, and the names of three references to:
