Tufts distinguishes itself by the interdisciplinary focus and integrative nature of its education and research programs, within the environment of both a "Research 1" university and a top-ranked undergraduate institution. We offer the best of a liberal arts college atmosphere, coupled with the resources of a major research university. Home to nine graduate and professional schools across four campuses, Tufts University prides itself on its culture of cross-school partnerships.
Tufts' Medford/Somerville campus is located only six miles from historic downtown Boston, facilitating extensive opportunities for academic and industrial collaborations, as well as participation in the rich intellectual life of the region. We are looking for experienced engineers with strong teaching and communication skills who can bring the breadth of their experience to seniors and graduate students in mechanical engineering and human factors. Advanced degree or equivalent industry experience is required, PhD is preferred. We will give preference to engineers whose experience complements that of the department faculty and who have previously demonstrated exceptional teaching skills.
