[DMANET] Position: FACULTY MEMBERS (Computation)

The Singapore University of Technology and Design seeks an outstanding individual for a tenure-track or tenured position in the area of Computational Engineering. SUTD, the first university in the world with a focus on design accomplished through an integrated multi-disciplinary curriculum, has a mission to advance knowledge and nurture technically grounded leaders and innovators to serve societal needs. SUTD is characterised by a breadth of intellectual perspectives (the'university'), a focus on engineering foundations ('technology') and an emphasis on innovation and creativity ('design'). The University's programmes are based on four pillars leading to separate degree programmes in Architecture and Sustainable Design, Engineering Product Development, Engineering Systems and Design, and Information Systems Technology and Design. Design, as an academic discipline, cuts across the curriculum and will be the framework for novel research and educational programmes. MIT's multi-!
faceted collaboration with SUTD includes the development of new courses and curricula, assistance with the early deployment of courses in Singapore, assistance with faculty and student recruiting, mentoring, and career development, and collaborating on a major joint research projects, through a major new international design centre and student exchanges. Many of the newly hired SUTD faculty will spend up to a year at MIT in a specially tailored programme for collaboration and professional development.

FACULTY MEMBERS (Computation)

Applicants must have earned a doctorate by the beginning of the appointment period in an appropriate field of engineering or mathematics or a related field; must have demonstrated the ability to carry out outstanding research; and must have shown strong promise for exceptional teaching.

All areas of computational engineering are of interest. Emphasis is on the development of new computational methodology with strong demonstrated relevance to important engineering disciplines and problems. Topics of interest include but are not limited to Ordinary Differential Equations, Partial Differential Equations, Numerical Linear Algebra, Optimization, and Statistics.

Successful candidates can look forward to internationally competitive remuneration and assistance for relocation to Singapore.

If you want to be part of the founding faculty that will shape the world of tomorrow, please apply to SUTD at
