Faculty Employment Opportunities

Open Faculty Position in Multiscale Environmental Fluid Dynamics Center  
The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Arizona State University has a faculty position open in the area of multiscale environmental fluid dynamics.  The appointment will be commensurate with the candidate’s experience and accomplishments and can be at the assistant, associate or full professor rank, beginning August 2008.  An earned doctorate in engineering or related fields is required. 

The successful candidate is expected to develop a nationally recognized and externally funded research program delving into a variety of environmental (oceanic and/or atmospheric) flow scales and their interactions using state-of-the-art experimental and/or modeling approaches, including effective use of sensor and satellite data platforms. Experience with research on synoptic and climatic scales is desired. Other duties include graduate and undergraduate teaching and advisement, and service activities. 

The open faculty position is aligned with priorities in the Department as well as the Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering that leverage investments by the University promoting interdisciplinary teaching and research, including the Environmental Fluid Dynamics Center  (http://www.fulton.asu.edu/~pefdhome), Global Institute of Sustainability (http://sustainability.asu.edu/gios), High Performance Computing Initiative (http://hpc.asu.edu), and School of Earth and Space Exploration (http://sese.asu.edu).  

Required qualifications include earned doctorate in engineering or relevant science, demonstrated evidence of research capability and commitment to teaching excellence as appropriate to the candidate’s rank.  The candidate must have a demonstrated commitment to excellence in teaching and have the ability to collaborate effectively with other faculty members on multi-disciplinary research initiatives.  Senior candidates must have a distinguished record of achievement as evidenced by leadership in their field of expertise, publications, professional recognition and extramural funding.  Desired qualifications include ability to collaborate on multidisciplinary research initiatives and experience with research on large scale flows. Review of applications will begin November 30, 2007 and will continue until the search is closed.

Open Tenure-Track Faculty Position for Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering

The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Arizona State University invites applications and nominations for tenure-track/tenured faculty positions. Appointments will be commensurate with the candidate’s experience and accomplishments and can be at the assistant, associate or full professor rank, beginning August 2008.  At the time of appointment, candidates must have an earned doctorate in engineering or a related field. 

Expectations of successful faculty candidates include the development of an internationally recognized and externally funded research program, graduate and undergraduate teaching, student advising, and service activities. The Department is particularly interested in candidates who work in the areas of aerospace propulsion and power, biomechanics, or sustainable energy systems though exceptionally well-qualified candidates will be considered in any area relevant to the department.  A micro/nano systems research flavor is desirable but not required.  Highest priority will be given to the overall innovation, originality, and promise of the candidate’s work rather than to any specific sub-area of research.

The open faculty positions are in areas aligned with priorities in the Department and School of Engineering that leverage investments by the University promoting interdisciplinary teaching and research, including the Biodesign Institute (http://www.biodesign.asu.edu), Global Institute of Sustainability (http://sustainability.asu.edu/gios), High Performance Computing Initiative (http://hpc.asu.edu), and School of Earth and Space Exploration (http://sese.asu.edu).

Required qualifications include earned doctorate in engineering or related field, demonstrated evidence of research capability and commitment to teaching excellence as appropriate to the candidate’s rank.  Desired qualifications include ability to collaborate on multidisciplinary research initiatives and a micro/nano systems research flavor.
