Georgia Tech prides itself on its technological resources, collaborations, high-quality student body, and its commitment to building an outstanding and diverse community of learning, discovery, and creation. We strongly encourage applicants whose values align with our institutional values, as outlined in our Strategic Plan. These values include academic excellence, diversity of thought and experience, inquiry and innovation, collaboration and community, and ethical behavior and stewardship.

Georgia Tech has policies to promote a healthy work-life balance and is aware that attracting faculty may require meeting the needs of two careers.

The Woodruff School graduates high caliber mechanical engineers for a demanding profession. Mechanical engineers are the foundation of today s technological world. To do so, we provide enhanced facilities and laboratories to create the best learning environment, and we attract outstanding faculty and students. In this period of rapid technological change, the Woodruff School produces mechanical engineers who are vital to our future.

We also host a vibrant nuclear and radiological engineering program, offering both undergraduate and graduate degrees. With approximately 3,000 students, 100 faculty members, and 70 staff members, we are one of the largest mechanical engineering programs in the country. We are consistently ranked as one of the top 5 mechanical engineering programs in the U.S. at both the graduate and undergraduate levels and continuously innovate to keep our school at the forefront of engineering education.

Our size and resources allow us to offer educational and research opportunities that enable us to produce highly sought after engineering professionals.

The Laboratory for Lymphatic Biology and Bioengineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology invites applications for a postdoctoral fellow position focused on developing next-generation experimental platforms to study lymphatic biology and disease.
