ENERGY SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
The Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (HSEAS) is initiating a major thrust in the broad area of energy science and technology and invites applications for tenure-track positions in this area. Interested candidates with expertise in materials science, applied chemistry, chemical engineering, and environmental engineering with a particular focus on energy-related applications are invited to apply. HSEAS offers a highly interdisciplinary environment that fosters collaboration within SEAS and with other parts of Harvard. The HSEAS effort will be part of a larger University-wide initiative on energy that aims to bring together scholars from Harvard’s various schools (business, design, government, law, medicine, and public health) to make a significant contribution on energy-related challenges. Candidates should have an outstanding research record and a strong commitment to undergraduate teaching and graduate training. Applicants must have completed a Ph.D. by September 1, 2008. Applications from qualified women and minorities are strongly encouraged.
Candidates should send a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, a statement of research and teaching interests, and up to three representative papers (ideally as a single PDF document) to: energy-search@seas.harvard.edu. In addition, candidates should have at least three letters of reference sent to the above address. Alternatively, material may be sent via surface mail to:

Applications will be reviewed as they are received. For full consideration, applications should be received by January 31, 2008. Harvard is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer.
ASSISTANT PROFESSOR in MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (DESIGN FOCUS)
The Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (HSEAS) seeks applicants for a faculty position as a tenure track assistant professor in the area of mechanical engineering. The ideal candidate will have a strong interest and background in teaching design, as well as outstanding research capabilities. Areas of interest include mechanics and materials (particularly MEMS and NEMS), fluids, mechatronics, robotics, and biomechanics.
Successful candidates will work with HSEAS faculty to develop an innovative design curriculum for our ABET-accredited engineering degree program. The position requires a Ph.D. in engineering or a closely related discipline, the ability to develop a leading research program, and enthusiasm for teaching both graduate and undergraduate courses.
Harvard University is committed to increasing its investment in engineering, as exemplified by the recent reorganization of the engineering program into the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Construction of new facilities and a substantial increase in faculty size are now in progress. HSEAS benefits from outstanding undergraduate and graduate students and a highly interdisciplinary and collaborative research environment without departmental boundaries. Information about HSEAS can be found at www.seas.harvard.edu
Applicants should send a cover letter, CV, a statement of teaching interests emphasizing design education, statement of research plans, copies of three publications, and names and contact information for at least three references. These documents should be submitted as pdf attachments to: design-search@seas.harvard.edu
Applications will be reviewed as they are received. For full consideration, applications should be received by January 31, 2008. Harvard University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer and applications from women and underrepresented minorities are strongly encouraged.
COMPUTER SCIENCE
Over the past several years, Harvard's Computer Science faculty has doubled in size, moved into a state-of-the-art teaching and research facility, and made a serious commitment to fostering collaboration with other academic disciplines. The Computer Science program benefits from its outstanding undergraduate and graduate students, an excellent location, significant industrial collaboration, and substantial support from the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.
We invite applications for faculty positions within Computer Science, and strongly encourage applications from qualified women and minorities. We seek outstanding applicants from all areas of Computer Science at the junior (assistant professor) level to begin in the fall semester of 2008.
Candidates should have an outstanding research record and a strong commitment to undergraduate teaching and graduate training. Applicants must have completed a Ph.D. by September 1, 2008. Information about Harvard's current faculty, research, and educational programs is available at http://www.seas.harvard.edu/research/computerscience.html.
Candidates should send a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, a statement of research and teaching interests, and up to three representative papers (ideally as a single PDF document) to the following email address:
