The Department of Mechanical Engineering (https://me.lafayette.edu) at Lafayette College in Easton, PA invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track Assistant Professor, starting July 2025. We seek a colleague with expertise to teach in our engineering design sequence, which consists of courses on design and manufacturing, mechanical engineering design, and capstone design projects. The Department values the ability to teach a broad range of required courses, including those with hands-on laboratory and design projects, and to develop new elective courses in their areas of interest. We seek a colleague who is committed to being a dynamic, engaging, inclusive teacher and mentor of undergraduate students. Candidates must have earned a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering or related field by the start of their appointment. We especially welcome applications from candidates who will contribute to Lafayette’s commitment to diversity and inclusion.

Lafayette College is located within 70 miles of New York and Philadelphia and is a highly selective undergraduate institution that emphasizes superior education in engineering and the liberal arts. Lafayette has offered engineering programs for over 150 years and is a nationally recognized leader in undergraduate engineering education. Our engineering students benefit from strong student-faculty interactions, have the opportunity to engage with faculty members in their research, and can participate in a semester-long study abroad program that is integrated into the four-year degree. In addition, they take advantage of attending a liberal arts institution, with many of them choosing to minor or even double major in a non-engineering program.

The Mechanical Engineering Department has thirteen tenure-stream faculty and graduates around sixty majors each year. Our program features laboratory experiences in each year of the curriculum and offers five or six student-selected yearlong capstone design projects annually. Faculty members teach the equivalent of four courses in their first year and five courses per year thereafter. Faculty are supported by Departmental mentorship and a yearlong faculty-development program through the College’s Center for the Integration of Teaching, Learning, and Scholarship (https://citls.lafayette.edu). Faculty members also have the opportunity to work with the College’s Hanson Center for Inclusive STEM (https://hanson.lafayette.edu/hanson-center) which supports faculty, staff, and students to advance our understanding and practice of inclusion and equity in STEM.

Candidates must demonstrate the potential to establish a research program that can engage undergraduate students and result in the publication of scholarly work in peer-reviewed venues. Lafayette provides significant resources to support faculty members’ research in the form of start-up funds, annual support for student research assistants, annual support for conference travel, and opportunities for internal grants and research fellowships.
