The Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science at The University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) invites applications for faculty positions in Mechanical Engineering at the rank of Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor. Endowed Chairs and Professorships are available for highly qualified applicants.
Candidates must have a strong commitment to undergraduate and graduate education and strong potential to develop an externally funded research program. Candidates for the positions at the associate or full professor levels must have a strong record of scholarly and professional achievements.
Applications will be considered in dynamic systems & control, manufacturing & design innovation, mechanics & materials, and thermal & fluid sciences. Application domains of interest include: energy conversion and harvesting (e.g., wind energy); emerging paradigms and technologies for design and manufacturing with application to healthcare and nanotechnology, mechatronics and robotics with applications to health care, nano- and bio-mechanics, and thermal transport and management across length scales and various applications.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering is among the fastest growing programs at UTD. The department was established in 2008, and currently has nearly 800 students enrolled, including 150 graduate students. The department currently has 18 tenured-system faculty members, and 5 senior lecturers. The department offers ABET-accredited BS, as well as MS and PhD degree programs in mechanical engineering. The department is home to WindSTAR, the NSF I/UCRC for wind energy research.
In addition to Mechanical Engineering, the Erik Jonsson School is home to the Departments of Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Materials Science & Engineering, and Systems Engineering, and has interdisciplinary programs in Computer Engineering, Telecommunications Engineering, and Software Engineering. Opportunities for interdisciplinary research are outstanding. The School's 10-year strategic plan is on line at http://ecs.utdallas.edu/about/major-initiatives.html.
Located in North Texas, with hundreds of technology, large defense manufacturing and systems integrations companies, Jonsson School students have ample opportunities for real-world, hands-on experiences. Companies and organizations such as Atmos Energy, Frito-Lay, Halliburton, L-3, lennox International, Raytheon, Texas Instruments and UT Southwestern Medical Center participated in mechanical engineering UTDesign, the Jonsson School's award-winning, and corporate-sponsored capstone senior design program. Opportunities exist to further the relationships developed through UTDesign to develop joint research projects with industry.
Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the positions are filled. Indication of gender and ethnicity for affirmative action statistical purposes is requested as part of the application. For additional information, please send email to %20mefsearch [at] utdallas.edu (mefsearch[at]utdallas[dot]edu).
Applicants should provide the following information: 1. CV, 2. statement of research and teaching interests, and 3. full contact information for five (5) professional references via the ONLINE APPLICATION FORM through the following website link
