NOTES:
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, education, and engagement. Applications are invited
for tenure-track positions. Exceptional applicants in all specializations
relevant to Mechanical Engineering will receive serious consideration.
The focus is on expertise that includes: A1) computational
techniques for validated product/process simulation and optimization including
multiscale modeling, sensitivity analysis and uncertainty quantification for
risk-informed decision-making; A2) advanced manufacturing including,
advanced materials processing, scalable nano-manufacturing, and intelligent
process sensing and control; B1) state-of-the-art computational techniques for
thermo-fluid processes and systems in general, and those related to biomedical,
turbomachinery or propulsion applications; and B2) energy technologies
including renewable and sustainable energy systems, advanced power generation
systems, and high-performance buildings.. 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, manufacturing, energy, 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 full 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 November 1, 2013 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 $22M 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.
