NOTES:
University of Dayton
GE EPISCenter Professor in Aerospace Electrical Power Systems
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at the University of Dayton invites applications for the GE EPISCenter Professor in Aerospace Electrical Power Systems. This tenured position is partially supported by the General Electric Electrical Power Integrated Systems Center (GE EPISCenter), a new $53 million research center, which opened in December 2013 on our campus. The EPISCenter is the headquarters for GE Aviation’s Electrical Power Systems business. The successful candidate will have an established record of funded research and scholarship commensurate with appointment at the rank of Full Professor, with a strong research agenda in at least two of three areas of interest: Electrical Power Systems, Power Electronics, and Electrical Machines. Knowledge of materials science is desirable. The successful candidate will possess an undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field, and a doctorate in engineering, with evidence of effective teaching in their research area. Because of the need for collaborations with the GE EPISCenter and U.S. government agencies, and the need to access research facilities, U.S. citizenship or permanent resident status is required.
The successful candidate will lead a research team in collaboration with GE EPISCenter. Leadership experience in an academic or industry research environment is desirable with evidence of effective mentoring of a diverse population of students and staff. The GE EPISCenter Professor will expand our academic program in areas relating to electrical power systems. Experience of academic course and program development is desired. The successful candidate should have strong written and oral communication skills as the GE EPISCenter Professor is expected to forge partnerships with government laboratories and with local industry to secure funded research from federal agencies and industry. The GE EPISCenter Professor will establish a consortium on aerospace electrical power and power electronics to advance the regional, national and international stature of the University in this field.
The department currently has 18 fulltime faculty (including Electro-Optics graduate program faculty tenured in ECE), 335 undergraduate students, 185 master’s students, and 67 doctoral students. The ECE department has four centers of excellence including the CETRASE (Center of Excellence for Thin-Film Research and Surface Engineering), the Mumma Radar Lab, the Vision Lab and the Ladar & Optical Communications Institute (LOCI). The University of Dayton (UD), and the University of Dayton Research Institute (UDRI), generated $95 million in research in 2014. The Sensor Technology Office of UDRI works very closely with ECE faculty on a large number of research projects. UD is ranked first among all Catholic universities for sponsored engineering research and second among all colleges and universities in the nation in materials research. The University of Dayton is also home to a new $30 million Emerson Innovation Center, which will open in October 2015. Additionally, Dayton is the home of Wright Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB), where the largest U.S. Air Force research laboratory is located and is a significant source of research collaboration and funding for many faculty in the ECE department.
For a full list of qualifications and to apply, please go to: http://jobs.udayton.edu/postings/18554. A cover letter, curriculum vitae, teaching statement and research plan, and the names and contact information of four references are required for submission. Review of applications will begin on December 1, and continue until the position is filled. UD offers a competitive salary, attractive fringe benefits and a generous start-up package.
