Description
The Department of Mechanical Engineering at San Diego State University (SDSU) seeks to fill a tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor level in the general area of cardiovascular mechanobiology starting in Fall 2025. Candidates with expertise in experimental, analytical, and/or computational research in blood flow, thrombus simulation, heart valve engineering, tissue mechanics, and medical device design are encouraged to apply. The successful candidate is expected to join the current research effort in the Cardiovascular Biomechanics Laboratory (http://www.maynewman.us) and expand the program by developing a vigorous externally funded research program in the general area of cardiovascular mechanobiology. Candidates with a vision to expand their research into areas beyond the current focus of the Cardiovascular Biomechanics Laboratory, e.g., into tissue engineering and machine learning, should describe that in their application materials. Mechanical Engineering (https://mechanical.sdsu.edu) is one of four departments in the College of Engineering (https://engineering.sdsu.edu) at SDSU offering an EAC/ABET-accredited B.S. degree program, as well as M.S. and joint Ph.D. programs. The Department shares with the College of Engineering and the University a strong commitment to excellence in undergraduate and graduate education. The successful candidate is expected to supervise teams of undergraduate as well as graduate students. Applicants will be expected to teach undergraduate and graduate level courses in the general area of bioengineering. Applicants must have an earned Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering or a closely related discipline. The minimum salary for this position is based on the current CSU salary schedule for Assistant Professors and may be revised based on contract collective bargaining. The anticipated salary range is from $105,000-$108,000. Salary placement will be based on the selected candidate’s qualifications and experience, and salaries higher than the published maximums may be offered in limited circumstances. San Diego State University offers a rich benefits package that constitutes a major portion of total compensation. For benefits information, click here. Qualifications
We are seeking applicants with demonstrated experience in and/or commitment to teaching and working effectively with individuals from diverse backgrounds and members of underrepresented groups.

Please indicate in a separate diversity statement how you meet at least two (2) of these criteria. Applications received by December 31, 2024, will receive full consideration; the position will remain open until filled.
