POSITION
DESCRIPTION
Assistant (Tenure-Track) or Associate/Full (Tenured) Professor in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE)
The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of California, Irvine invites applicants for a
tenure-track/tenured faculty position at the assistant, associate, or full professor rank in aerospace engineering starting July 1,
2024.
Recent technological advances are enabling the aerospace engineering field to move towards solving grand challenges such as
net-zero carbon emissions for aviation, advanced aerial mobility, and efficient space transportation. UCI’s MAE department seeks
exceptional applicants who will conduct high-impact research, develop graduate courses, and contribute to an innovative undergraduate
curriculum that will enable the next generation of aerospace engineers to face these new problems. The applicants are expected to have
credentials in one or both of the following areas:
- Space Flight: Research areas of interest include launch systems
technologies; space vehicle design; spacecraft control; propulsion systems (chemical, nuclear, electric); hypersonics; and flight vehicles
for low-density atmospheres. - Advanced Air Vehicles: Research areas of interest include analysis, design, and optimization of
propulsion, airframe, and/or integrated vehicle system for aerial mobility (urban, regional, global, super/hyper-sonic) with attention to
environmental acceptability and intrinsic safety.
The candidates should be capable of teaching core aerospace
engineering courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Moreover, the successful candidate is expected to make scholarly contributions
to at least one of the underlying fundamental disciplines (including aero/thermodynamics, propulsion, dynamics and control, structural
mechanics, and multi-disciplinary optimization) as well as advancing the state of the art in technology.
Applicants are expected to
have received a doctorate degree in a relevant engineering or applied science discipline. Successful candidates will develop a vigorous,
externally funded research program and maintain a strong, recognized publication record. They will be expected to contribute their
leadership and innovative thinking toward promoting excellence in programs within the MAE department, school, and university. They will be
expected to facilitate the recruitment and success of students (especially those from underrepresented minorities) pursuing graduate degrees
in related programs. Successful candidates will also provide outstanding teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels and provide
service and leadership within the MAE professional community at large. Applications must include a cover letter, three statements that
describe research, teaching, and service interests, respectively, a curriculum vitae including a publication list, and the names and contact
information of three (3) references. Candidates are encouraged to delineate their unique contributions to key publications and papers. For
applicants to Associate/Full Professor positions, references will not be contacted until later stages of consideration, in consultation with
the candidate. A separate statement that addresses the applicant’s past and/or potential contributions to diversity, equity and
inclusion must also be included in the application materials.
Applications must be received by January 5th , 2024, to receive full
consideration. All positions will remain open until filled.Apply online at https://recruit.ap.uci.edu/JPF08646.
