Applications are invited for a probationary (tenure-track) appointment in the area of microstructure-mechanical property relationships in engineering materials. Materials of interest include: ductile metallic and/or polymeric materials in their monolithic form or as constituents within a composite.  The successful applicant’s research will be either experimentally- or numerically-based but must strongly compliment the existing research efforts of Western’s Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering in the areas of micro-mechanisms of plastic deformation, modelling of the mechanical response of micro-/nano-scale devices, and manufacturing processes involving plastic forming of metals, polymers and composites. The appointment will be at the rank of Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering effective July 1, 2012 or as soon as possible thereafter. If qualifications and experience warrant a higher rank, consideration will be given to an appointment at the Associate Professor (probationary tenure track) rank.

The Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering is one of four departments in Western Engineering (http://www.eng.uwo.ca).
