About the Environment
Brown Engineering provides a unique environment, emphasizing the power of interdisciplinary thought with a focus on expanding connections across engineering disciplines and beyond traditional departmental boundaries. Brown Engineering has a long history of leadership in fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, and materials research, with further acceleration from a new Engineering Research building and the Center of Fluid Mechanics and the Mechanics of Undersea Science and Engineering (MUSE) program. The successful candidate will become affiliated with one or more of the disciplinary groups within the School of Engineering and contribute to teaching efforts and research projects across the school including Fluids and Thermal Sciences, Materials Science, Solid Mechanics, Biomedical, Chemical, and Environmental Engineering.
Brown University School of Engineering seeks to recruit and retain a diverse workforce to maintain the excellence of the University and to offer our students richly varied disciplines, perspectives, viewpoints, and ways of knowing and learning.
Applicants must have an earned Ph.D. degree in engineering or related discipline when joining the faculty. The start date is expected to be July 2025.
All candidates should submit: (1) a curriculum vitae; (2) a research statement; (3) a teaching statement; (4) a diversity, equity, and inclusion statement; (5) up to five publications; and (6) a cover letter describing their interest in the position.
