Description
The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering is recruiting outstanding faculty members into our multi-disciplinary and internationally collaborating faculty, to continue building one of the world's finest teaching and research institutions and to fulfill its educational and research missions. KAUST offers superb research facilities, generous research funding, and internationally competitive salaries.
Priorities will be given to outstanding candidates at all ranks (Assistant, Associate, and Full Professor) with research interests in areas including, but not limited to:
Metallic materials, high-performance computing, numerical methods and applied mathematics for solid mechanics, polymers engineering.
The science produced in PSE focuses on understanding, modeling, and manipulating matters at all scales (nano, meso, and macroscopic levels), in all forms (bulk, thin films, divided colloids, fluid flows, earth as system, etc.) and in interaction with external stimuli (light, heat, fluids, stresses, etc.). The knowledge produced serves to help design and engineer novel materials, technologies, and systems.
The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering currently has 13 full-time faculty members, over 53 postdocs and research scientists and more than 90 graduate students. The Mechanical Engineering Program (http://me.kaust.edu.sa) focuses on the following areas: combustion and energy, fluid mechanics, materials and solid mechanics, and dynamics and control. The Clean Combustion Research Center (CCRC) carries out cutting-edge research on all aspects of combustion from flame study to modeling.
Qualifications

I applied for a similar position 5 years ago (KAUST). The team even didn't send me a courtesy reply what was happened with my application. Strange system!
Greetings
My apologies if this happened to you. Best thing is always to write to the chair for follow up. Best regards
Thanks a lot Gilles. It is not fault of anyone. It is the fault of their system. That part of the world still does not know what to say about 'courtesy' whether your application is successful (shortlisted) or failed. I even mailed you personally at that time since I knew you by reading your publications. Anyway, I forwarded this information to my friend in Turkey who might be interested for the position. Best Regards
