Southwest Jiaotong University has always paid great attention to the development of mechanics discipline since it was established in 1896. School of Mechanics and Engineering was established in 2008 supported by the mechanics discipline. The mechanics discipline was conferred the initial order doctor degree of solid mechanics in 1982. It established post-doctoral research station of mechanics, obtained the first-level doctor degree of mechanics in 2005, owned four second-grade disciplines, including solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, dynamics and control, engineering mechanics.
Nowadays, School of Mechanics and Engineering owns two specially-appointed professors awarded by “the Thousand Talents Program”, a “mutual hired” professor from the Chinese Academy of Engineering, a specially-appointed professor and a chair professor awarded by “the Cheung Kong Scholars Program”, a winner of “the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars”, a teacher teaching at the national level, a science and technology innovation talent of “the Ten Thousand Talents Programs ”，an entrant of “The National Youth Thousand Talents Program”, an Overseas Dean, three teachers awarded by “the Talent Project from Education Ministry” and four teachers awarded by “the Thousand Talents Program of Sichuan Province”, two “Humboldt Scholars”, six teachers awarded by “The academic and technical leader of Sichuan Province”, five winners of “The Distinguished Young Scholars of Sichuan Province”. Nowadays, we built a national mechanics foundation of basic courses, a national mechanical experiment, teaching demonstration center and three national excellent courses. Otherwise, we own two national teaching teams of basic mechanics and engineering mechanics, a youth science and technology innovation team of Sichuan. The major of engineering mechanics is named as a state-level characteristic discipline.
Our school owns good conditions in science research, teaching and experiment. Total assets of the equipment are more than 50 million yuan. We have successfully created a national mechanics foundation of basic courses, a national mechanical experiment and teaching demonstration center, a key laboratory of applied mechanics and structural safety of Sichuan Province, a key laboratory of strength and vibration of Sichuan Province in universities.
Southwest Jiaotong University is implementing a strategy of strengthening school with talents, so we are actively introducing all kinds of urgent needed talents. To respond our university’ call and promote the development of mechanics discipline, School of Mechanics and Engineering actively need a lot of talents. With strong support from our university, we will provide the introduced talents with a competitive package in research start-up fund, laboratory and working conditions, team development and salary. With the joint efforts of all colleagues, School of Mechanics and Engineering have already formed a good teaching and researching ambient of unity and harmony. You are welcome to join in our school and can enjoy teaching and researching with a good day!
