About the role
University of Washington's Department of Mechanical Engineering invites applications for two tenure-track Assistant Professor positions with an anticipated start date of September 2027. These are full-time, nine-month appointments for an initial 3-year term renewable on tenure-track.
Successful candidates will develop internationally recognized research programs and contribute to teaching across Bachelor's, Master’s and PhD programs, while advancing a diverse and inclusive academic community.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
