Engineering Faculty Opportunities
The School of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University has multiple
openings for exceptional faculty candidates at all levels, and in traditional
as well as emerging areas. This aggressive hiring program is to
substantially grow the School and enhance its impact in research and education.
Applications are invited for tenure-track positions. Though all
exceptional applicants will receive serious consideration, focus is on
expertise that includes: 1) computational techniques
for validated product/process simulation and optimization including multiscale
modeling, sensitivity analysis and uncertainty quantification for risk-informed
decision-making; 2) state-of-the-art computational techniques for
thermo-fluid processes and systems, particularly related to biomedical,
turbomachinery or propulsion applications; 3) energy technologies including
renewable and sustainable energy systems, advanced power generation systems,
and high-performance buildings; and 4) advanced manufacturing including,
advanced materials processing, scalable nano-manufacturing, and intelligent
process sensing and control. The search also will emphasize cross-cutting
expertise in the process-structure-property-function paradigm including
variabilities and uncertainties in data-rich problems, particularly as applied
to areas of existing departmental emphasis including acoustics, design, energy,
metrology, and thermo-fluid transport. Candidates should hold a Ph.D.
degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field and have a distinguished
academic record. The successful candidate will develop world-class
research program and will teach both undergraduate and graduate students.
Candidates at the Assistant/Associate Professor level are targeted, but
exceptional candidates at higher rank will receive serious consideration.
All applications should be submitted through a
single College of Engineering-wide web portal. For consideration, please
complete the online form at https://engineering.purdue.edu/Engr/AboutUs/Employment/Applications, and submit in electronic form curriculum
vitae, statement of research and teaching interests, and the names and contact
information for at least four (six for appointment at Associate or higher
level) references. If you have difficulty submitting application to this
website, please contact Ms. Marion Ragland at: ragland@purdue.edu.
Review of applications will begin December 1, 2012 and will continue until the
positions are filled. A background check will be required for employment
in this position.
Established in 1882, the School of Mechanical Engineering is the
oldest of Purdue’s engineering schools and has granted over 26,500
degrees. Through its past two centuries, the School has become synonymous
with innovation and outstanding accomplishment in engineering research,
education, and global engagement. Its students and faculty form a vibrant
community of scholars who are recognized worldwide for their technical expertise
and professional impact. In addition to supporting faculty expansion, the
School’s fund raising has enabled: growth in endowed professorships, with 18
now committed; the newly opened LEED-certified $34.5M Roger B. Gatewood Wing of
Mechanical Engineering, with substantial space dedicated to design research and
education; $30M expansion of the Ray W. Herrick Laboratories; plans for
expansion of facilities in Maurice J. Zucrow Laboratories; numerous endowed
scholarships and fellowships; and various innovative programs including global
engineering and entrepreneurship. Its annual research expenditures and
endowment/trust funds have grown rapidly to $23M per year and over $80M,
respectively.
Purdue University is located in West
Lafayette, a welcoming and diverse community with a wide variety of cultures,
excellent schools, plus ready accessibility to large metropolitan areas (the
University is within two hours of downtown Chicago and within one hour of
downtown Indianapolis).
Purdue
University is an equal opportunity/equal access/affirmative action employer
fully
committed to achieving a diverse workforce.
