Two Strategic Faculty Hiring Initiatives at Michigan Technological University in "Water" and "Transportation"

Michigan Technological University is redefining graduate and undergraduate education through its interdisciplinary programs, which we plan to enhance through the creation of seven to ten "growth" faculty positions each year. This effort is called the Strategic Faculty Hiring Initiative (SFHI). In 2007, the SFHI theme was sustainability. In 2008, the theme was computational discovery and innovation. For 2009 and 2010, there were SFHI two themes in parallel: next generation energy systems and health—basic sciences, technologies, and medical informatics. In 2011 and 2012, we have parallel initiatives in:

  • Water
  • Transportation

Forthcoming interdisciplinary themes are being identified through far-reaching discussions both inside and outside the University community.

This initiative aims to support our strengths in water and transportation at Michigan Technological University, and our vision that our faculty, staff and students will be innovators in all facets of water and transportation-related research and education.

Applications for the first year (2010-2011) of the SFHI in Water Systems and Transportation are no longer being reviewed. We will be re-opening the SFHI for the second year (2011-2012) in summer 2012. Please revisit the SFHI web site then.
