DEPARTMENT: College of Engineering & Applied Science
POSITION: Multiple Faculty Positions
NOTES:
NEW FACULTY POSITIONS IN THE COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING
&APPLIED SCIENCE The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) invites
applications for multiple new faculty positions at all tenure-track and tenure
levels in the College of Engineering & Applied Science (CEAS).
UWM is a doctoral/research intensive university and
Wisconsin’s premier public urban institution, offering a comprehensive liberal
arts, sciences and professional education at the undergraduate and graduate
level to its 28,000 students. The College of Engineering & Applied Science
consists of six departments--Civil Engineering and Mechanics, Electrical
Engineering, Computer Science,
Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering,
and Mechanical Engineering, with ABET accredited programs. The College has
approximately 1,600 undergraduate students and 400 graduate students, both
Master’s and Doctoral. Greater Milwaukee, the third-ranked manufacturing center
in the United States, is home to 400+ engineering firms and 1300+ manufacturing
firms with annual receipts of 24 billion dollars. The College has a long
history of industrial collaboration and research support
The college seeks exceptional individuals to expand its
research and further strengthen our portfolio and curricula in the following
cluster
areas:
1. Advanced
Manufacturing: CEAS and UWM have an
array of research
laboratories and centers tied to advanced manufacturing
with expertise in advanced and sustainable materials, composites, ergonomics,
manufacturing systems and logistics, as well as a state of the art facility for
industrial innovation that spans the product development cycle from concept to
functional prototype using world-class CAE capabilities, Rapid Prototyping
technologies, and advanced materials characterization instruments. Areas of particular interest include advanced
materials processing and manufacturing systems, additive manufacturing, hybrid
manufacturing processes, biomedical device manufacturing, sustainable
manufacturing, advanced sensing and control, supply chain and logistics,
production planning and scheduling; and intelligent maintenance and
diagnosis. Questions related to the
position can be directed to the Chair of Search & Screen Committee Prof.
Nidal Abu-Zahra (nidal@uwm.edu
, 414-229-2668).
2. Biomedical
and Health: Health is a broad area of
interest and
activity across UWM and involves partnerships with other
education, research, clinical and industrial institutions that comprise the
strong medical complex of Milwaukee. Areas of particular interest include
biomaterials; biomedical electronics, instrumentation, and sensing; biomedical
imaging and photonics; biomedical informatics and computational modeling;
biomechanics, ergonomics, and rehabilitation.
Questions related to the position can be directed to the
Chair of Search & Screen Committee Prof. Susan McRoy (mcroy@uwm.edu
, 414-229-6695).
3. Energy
and Sustainability: UWM has several
initiatives and strong
relationships with industry on energy conversion, energy
storage, and micro grids. Southeastern Wisconsin is a hub for energy, power,
and controls industry. Areas of particular interest include energy conversion,
renewable energy sources and systems, energy efficiency, energy storage devices
and systems, electric power systems, power electronics, controls, and
bio-fuels. Excellent candidates in other areas of energy will also be given full
consideration. Questions related to the position can be directed to the Chair
of Search & Screen Committee Prof. Adel Nasiri (nasiri@uwm.edu , 414-229-4955).
4. Water
and Environment: Milwaukee is an R&D
hub for water engineering
and technologies as highlighted most recently by the
United States Environmental Protection Agency in a study on national best
practices for building successful technology clusters. Milwaukee is home to over
10 large international water corporations. The NSF Water
Equipment and Policy (WEP) I/UCRC (www.uwm.edu/wep/)
led by UWM CEAS focuses on pre-competitive research in four thrust areas:
materials, sensors and devices, treatment systems, and policy. Candidates with
research interests in all areas of environmental engineering, including the WEP
center areas, will be considered to complement the existing water and
environment research. Preference will be given to sustainable water and
wastewater treatment, energy recovery from waste, nanotechnology and/or
biotechnology for environmental systems, novel sensors, novel materials, inland
aquatic systems, and climate related impacts on urban and natural
environments. Questions related to the
position can be directed to the Chair of Search & Screen Committee Prof.
Junhong Chen (jhchen@uwm.edu ,
414-229-2615)
Exceptional applicants that complement our strengths
across the broader research areas of our six departments are also
welcomed. More information about the
College can be found at http://www.uwm.edu/CEAS/
Candidates must have completed a doctoral degree in an
appropriate engineering or related field and have a strong research record
appropriate for the rank that is being applied for. Desired attributes include strong extramural
funding record and teaching experience as well as internationally recognized
expertise for senior applicants or potential to establish an independent,
extramurally funded research program for junior applicants.
On-Line Application Procedure: Application materials should include: a
letter describing your interest in and qualifications for the position; a
detailed curriculum vitae; a research plan; a teaching statement, and a minimum
of three references that includes names, addresses (including e-mail), and
telephone numbers. The complete application package must be submitted
electronically to http://jobs.uwm.edu/postings/16847
Screening begins on February 1, 2014 and will continue
until the positions are filled. General questions can be directed to Assoc.
Dean Ronald Perez, at 414-229-6543 or perez@uwm.edu Under Wisconsin’s open records law, requests
for confidentiality will be honored, except that names and titles of all
finalists must be disclosed upon request.
