The School of Engineering Sciences at Simon Fraser University is seeking outstanding candidates for four tenure track positions at the rank of Assistant Professor for its newly developed program in Mechatronic Systems Engineering (MSE). As of Fall 2007, the School has been offering graduate as well as a Co-op based undergraduate degree programs in MSE at SFU’s newest campus in Surrey. The areas of specific interest for this search are:
1) Thermo-Fluid - Possible areas of interest include but are not limited to microfluidics; fluid/computational fluid dynamics; (micro scale) fuel cells; advanced energy systems and transport; microscale heat transfer; thermo-electric energy conversion; heat and mass transfer
2) Mechatronic Systems and Devices - Possible areas of interest include but are not limited to sensors and actuators; smart materials and structures; modeling and control of mechatronic systems; medical device design and development; rehabilitation devices; and mechanical micro-devices
3) Mechanical/Mechatronic Design - Possible areas of interest include but are not limited to smart mechanism design; computer aided product design; eco-design; design optimization; intelligent design; serviceability & reliability design; rapid prototyping; manufacturing and rapid tool generation; fabrication, testing, and evaluation of mechanical systems
4) Power Electronics with interests in application of embedded and real time systems to motor drives and power control—for this area, the ideal candidate will also have research interests in a number of the following subareas: DSP-based power electronics; motor and adjustable speed drives; development of novel power converters and control strategies; electric machines and actuators; electric and hybrid vehicles; alternative energy and energy storage systems; biomechanical energy conversion; energy harvesting; and hybrid energy source systems.
