Faculty Position in Aerospace Propulsion

The Department of Aerospace and Ocean Engineering seeks applications for a faculty position at any rank in the area of aerospace turbomachinery propulsion systems. Candidates are sought with expertise and a record of achievement in relevant areas of aerospace propulsion, including experimental or computational aerodynamics, thermodynamics and combustion, or multidisciplinary interaction among such areas as fluid and structural mechanics, control theory, materials and computational science as applied to the analysis and design optimization of aerospace propulsion systems. This search is being conducted as part of an extensive relationship that Virginia Tech is developing with Rolls-Royce, a leading global provider of power systems and services for the civil aerospace, defense aerospace, marine and energy markets. The relationship involves the development of two major research centers in the fields of aerospace propulsion and advanced manufacturing. Additional details on the partnership can be found at http://www.eng.vt.edu/overview/clusterhire.php. Exceptional candidates with a high level of accomplishment may be considered for an endowed professorship.

Applicants must hold an earned doctorate in aerospace engineering or a closely related field. Responsibilities will include teaching at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, directing graduate students, and establishing an externally funded research program in the area of aerospace propulsion. AOE faculty members are active in a number of interdisciplinary research centers and groups, including the AFRL-VT-WS Collaborative Center on Multidisciplinary Sciences (http://www.aoe.vt.edu/research/groups/afrl/) and the Virginia Center for Autonomous Systems (http://unmanned.vt.edu). Faculty have access to Virginia Tech's extensive computational resources, including System X, and world-class experimental facilities to support high-speed flow measurements, advanced materials characterization, and other activities related to aerospace propulsion systems.

Virginia Tech, the land-grant university of the Commonwealth of Virginia, is located in Blacksburg, adjacent to the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains. The university has a total student enrollment of 28498, with more than 6000 students in the College of Engineering. Additional information about the department can be found at http://www.aoe.vt.edu.
