<p class="MsoNormal">The Massachusetts Institute of Technology
(MIT) Department of Mechanical Engineering together with the
Schwarzman College of Computing (SCC) seeks candidates for
tenure-track faculty positions in Computing for Health of the
Planet to start July 1, 2021 or on a mutually agreed date
thereafter. The search is for candidates to be hired at the
assistant professor level; under special circumstances,
however, an untenured associate or senior faculty appointment
is possible, commensurate with experience.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Health of the Planet is one of the most
important challenges facing humankind today. The need for a
sustainable planet demands integrated research efforts that
develop novel fundamental modeling, computation, machine
learning and AI methods with technological innovation. Ocean
systems are particularly important and in need of both
fundamental research and development of breakthrough
solutions. A creative
<i>mens et manus </i>approach is essential to ensure the
health and security of our oceans and environment.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We seek candidates who have expertise in
computing and data-driven science and engineering, and can
