The position is expected to be filled at the assistant professor level. Exceptional candidates at the associate and full professor level may be considered. The Department and Cockrell School are committed to building a diverse and inclusive environment, and we are particularly interested in applicants who will contribute to diversity and equal opportunity in higher education through their teaching, research, and service.
The University of Texas at Austin is an affirmative action, equal opportunity employer. For more information about the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics, please visit http://www.ae.utexas.edu. These positions have been designated as security-sensitive, and a criminal background check will be conducted on the applicants selected.
Qualifications
Candidates must have a Ph.D. degree in engineering or a related field. Successful candidates are expected to supervise graduate students, teach mechanics and computational engineering and science courses to our diverse undergraduate and graduate student populations, develop a sponsored research program, collaborate with others from a wide range of backgrounds, and be involved in service to the university and the engineering profession.
Application Instructions
Apply online: https://apply.interfolio.com/114833
Applications received by November 15, 2022 are assured full consideration, but the search will continue until the position is filled. Only complete applications will be considered. Interested applicants should submit the following: 1) a cover letter, 2) current curriculum vitae, 3) statements of research and teaching interests, 4) statement describing past contributions and future plans for promoting diversity and inclusion through research, teaching, and/or service, 5) a list of three references.
Artificial Intelligence in Aerospace Engineering
The Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics at The University of Texas at Austin has a tenure-track position beginning Fall 2023 in the foundations of artificial intelligence inspired by use cases in aerospace engineering. The position is expected to be filled at the assistant professor level. Exceptional candidates at the associate and full professor level may be considered.
Areas of interest include but are not limited to learning, perception, controls, optimization, statistics, uncertainty quantification, and emerging computing and sensing paradigms. Candidates are encouraged to view these areas of interest in the broadest sense in determining whether they match their research skills and interests. While the emphasis is on the quality and originality of the candidate’s work and the timeliness of their research vision, a particular focus will be placed on the potential for supporting the design, analysis, development, manufacturing, certification, operation, and/or regulation of next-generation aerospace materials, components, and systems. Such systems will need to meet increasingly complex needs due to, for example, autonomy, air mobility, hypersonics, remote sensing, space domain awareness, and the impact on the environment and society.
The Department and the Cockrell School of Engineering are committed to building a diverse and inclusive environment. To this end, we are particularly interested in applicants who contribute to diversity and equal opportunity in higher education through their teaching, research, and service.
