上海交通大学密西根学院 Faculty Positions(All Ranks)

neuron

The University of Michigan and Shanghai Jiao Tong University have established a Joint Institute in Shanghai with a commitment to build a world-class academic research and educational institution. The UM-SJTU Joint Institute invites applications for tenure-track (Assistant, Associate, and Full Professor) positions in all emerging fields related to mechanical and electrical/computer engineering. These positions are open to top caliber applicants from around the world. With its unique academic mission in China and connection to SJTU’s established research, the JI offers faculty extraordinary opportunities to develop major research programs.

The JI was founded in April 2006 with strong support from both partner universities and the Chinese government. It models itself after the world-class US research universities in terms of academic environment, faculty expectations, graduate program research, and undergraduate curriculum. English is the JI’s official language. The students are among China’s best. In the next five years, the JI will reach a steady state of 2000 students (1400 undergraduates, 150 MS??200 PhD, and 200 international students).

The JI aims to have 50 full-time tenured/tenure-track faculty members for its degree programs in Mechanical and Electrical/Computer Engineering. These positions will be filled on a continuing basis.

Successful candidates are expected to establish vigorous research programs, mentor PhD students, participate in the international research community, and teach undergraduate and graduate classes. Candidates should possess a doctoral degree and demonstrate research accomplishment or potential. Salary will be highly competitive and commensurate with qualifications and experience. The JI has a tenure review and promotion system comparable to that at major US research universities. Owing to its affiliation with the UM and SJTU, JI faculty have opportunities to collaborate with UM and SJTU faculty.
