Department of Mechanical Engineering and
Materials Science
Duke University
The Department of Mechanical Engineering and
Materials Science at Duke University invites
applications for a faculty position in the area
of thermal sciences and energy technology. The
position is available at any rank, and tenured
appointment at the Full or Associate Professor
level is anticipated for exceptional applicants.
Although applications are welcomed in all areas
of mechanical engineering and materials science,
the focus of this search is on a researcher who
will quickly assume a leadership role in thermal
sciences. In making this hire, we seek to
reinforce existing strengths in the areas of heat
transfer, thermodynamics, constructal theory, and energy engineering.
Additionally, the Pratt School of Engineering has
evolving initiatives in optimization and
uncertainty, as well as materials science, so
applicants featuring these concepts prominently
in their energy science work will receive
consideration in our search process. The ability
to initiate and participate in collaborative and
cross-disciplinary scholarship, both within MEMS
and across departmental and school lines, is key
to success at Duke. Successful faculty candidates
are expected to establish a vibrant research
program, obtain competitive external research
funding, and participate actively in teaching at
both the undergraduate and graduate levels;
candidates for Associate and Full level
appointments must have already demonstrated
considerable evidence of these activities.
Applicants should submit a cover letter
describing their research interests and
qualifications, a curriculum vitae, and the names
and addresses of three references. Please submit
your application to
<mailto:mems-search@pratt.duke.edu>mems-search@pratt.duke.edu as a PDF (preferred) or Word file attached to
your email. All applications received by January
15, 2010 will receive full consideration;
however, our search process will remain open
after that date until the position is filled.

School of Engineering, Duke University
The Pratt School of Engineering at Duke
University invites applications for the Gendell
Family Professorship of the Practice, a unique
mentorship and scholarship opportunity in our
newly-formed Gendell Center for Engineering,
Energy and the Environment. We seek to fill one
position during the 2008-09 academic year, and
invite applications at all ranks; appointment at
the Full or Associate Professor level is
anticipated for an exceptional applicant. The
successful candidate will receive a contract
appointment in one of our four engineering
departments-- biomedical engineering, civil and
environmental engineering, electrical and
computer engineering, or mechanical engineering
and materials science--depending upon the
candidate’s research and teaching
interests.. More information on the Pratt School
of Engineering and its departments can be found
on the school’s webpage,
<http://www.pratt.duke.edu/>http://www.pratt.duke.edu.
The scope of the Gendell Center is planned to
extend broadly to both undergraduate and graduate
education. The current focus of the Center, and
of this professorship, is to support a new
certificate program for Duke undergraduates. In
this certificate, offered jointly by the Pratt
School of Engineering and the Nicholas School of
the Environment, engineers and non-engineers
participate together in a six course program of
study. The program includes fundamentals of
environmental science and engineering, energy
technology, and markets and policy, and requires
students to integrate this information through a
team capstone experience focused on a real-world
energy need, in which alternative solutions must
be considered and a design developed and
prototyped. More information on the certificate
and its requirements may be found at
<http://www.nicholas.duke.edu/programs/undergrad/energycert.html>http://www.nicholas.duke.edu/programs/undergrad/energycert.html.
The successful applicant should, through prior
scholarship, engineering practice, or active
participation in the energy industry, have the
demonstrated ability to engage outside entities
in the engineering educational
enterprise. Realizing such engagement through
development of active consulting roles for
industrial entities in student projects, and the
teaching of laboratory and studio based design
courses in which such projects will be developed
and tested, are the key responsibilities of this
professorship. It is also expected that the
Gendell professor will develop additional
elective courses in energy technology and/or
environmental aspects of energy production, thus
contributing both to the certificate and to the
curricular offerings available to students
working in related fields. Training in
engineering at least at the bachelor’s level is a
requirement of this position, and masters’ or PhD
level training in fields of engineering related
directly to energy and the environment will be
seen as highly desirable. Industrial or
governmental experience dealing directly with
energy and the environment will be another very strong plus for this position.
Applicants should submit a cover letter
describing their research and teaching interests,
a curriculum vitae, and the names and addresses
of three references. The cover letter should
take particular care to describe how the
qualifications of the applicant uniquely position
him or her to bring real-world energy production
design problems into the classroom, with an
approach that will emphasize environmental
sustainability of real-world
solutions. Applications received by March 1,
2009 will receive full consideration; however,
evaluation of applicants will continue until the position is filled.
