UTEP’s current manufacturing research portfolio includes topics in cyber-based manufacturing, green manufacturing, 3D printing, additive manufacturing, semi-conductor manufacturing, and materials processing.  Over the past three years, the department has experienced the fastest research expenditures growth in the COE through major grants/contracts with USDA, DoED, DHS, NSF, the City of El Paso, NIST, Fort Bliss, and LMC-Aeronautics. The increase in research expenditures indicates the IMSE faculty commitment to research in the strategic COE areas of Sustainability, Manufacturing, Infrastructure Systems, and Energy Systems. The Department is closely affiliated with the Research Institute for Manufacturing and Engineering Systems (http://rimes.utep.edu/), which has strong relationships with industrial and government partners. Additionally, the Department has ongoing collaborations with the Texas Tech University Health Science Center, local school districts, hospitals, international and national universities, and other UTEP departments.

Excellent manufacturing and analytical research facilities exist within the College (http://engineering.utep.edu).  The COE houses a class 100/1000 Nanofabrication Center for semiconductor, biomedical device, and MEMS fabrication; and the Keck Center for 3D Innovation (http://keck.utep.edu/), home to state-of-the-art advanced manufacturing technology in additive manufacturing processes, materials, and applications.  In addition to the basic and applied research at the University, the El Paso/Juarez metroplex represents a global manufacturing region that provides the opportunity for faculty to work with U.S. and international manufacturing operations in real-world industrial settings.

UTEP & El Paso: The University of Texas at El Paso http://www.utep.edu is an emerging national research university at the heart of the U.S.-Mexico border region committed to the ideals of access and excellence. A leader among Hispanic-serving institutions, UTEP enrolls more than 23,000 students – about 80 percent of them Hispanic – and is the only doctoral research university in the nation with a student body that is a majority Mexican-American.

UTEP offers 71 bachelor’s, 76 master’s, and 20 doctoral programs – with more in development. UTEP’s nearly $83 million in research spending a year ranks the University among the top 200 universities in the nation; and its more than $35 million in federal research spending ranks fourth among all Texas public universities.

El Paso County is a highly livable, bi-cultural community of 800,000 people that offers affordable homes and is the safest large city in the United States. Shielded by mountains on three sides, El Paso enjoys more than 300 days of sunshine annually and a dry climate, making it possible to engage in outdoor activities year-round. The city of El Paso adjoins both the state of New Mexico and the country of Mexico, making it one of the largest international communities in the world. El Paso comprises 248 square miles and is the sixth largest city in Texas and 19th largest in the United States.

Faculty Openings in Predictive Science & Engineering for Decision-Making

The College of Engineering and the College of Science at Purdue University have identified predictive science & engineering for decision-making in the field of material/product co-design as a strategic area for multi-disciplinary discovery and learning. We are currently accepting applications to fill multiple positions for tenure-track and tenured positions at the Assistant and Full Professor levels. The successful candidates will conduct original research, will advise graduate students, will teach undergraduate and graduate level courses, and will perform service both at the School and University levels. Candidates with experience working with diverse groups of students, faculty, and staff and the ability to contribute to an inclusive climate are particularly encouraged to apply.

The ability to predict performance with quantified confidence via an optimal combination of experiments, theory and simulation is expected to lead to shorter and less costly development and certification cycles for new materials enabling material/product co-design for a wide range of applications. Purdue’s Predictive Science and Engineering initiative aims at the synergistic integration of state-of-the-art modeling and simulation, high-performance computing, uncertainty quantification, and design of experiments to achieve this goal. The effort builds on Purdue’s strengths and leverages capabilities in these areas in the Engineering and Science colleges as well as Discovery Park.

Candidates must hold a Ph.D. degree in a field of Engineering or Science related to the initiative. They should have a distinguished academic record, exceptional potential for world-class research, and a commitment to teaching and collaboration. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: i) predictive, multi-scale modeling of materials and devices including their processing and fabrication; ii) uncertainty quantification for decision-making and design of physical and computational experiments; iii) extreme-scale computing for science and engineering of materials; iv) multi-fidelity, on-demand experimentation at the material and product level. Experience or interest in multiple of these areas or related expertise is sought. Individuals with a track record and interest in cross-discipline interactions and broad impact across Engineering and Science are especially encouraged to apply. The primary faculty appointment will be in a school of the College of Engineering or a department of the College of Science and will depend on the candidate’s qualifications; cross-department appointments are anticipated.

Candidates should submit their application online at: http://eng.purdue.edu/PredictiveSE. The application should include a cover letter, a complete and detailed vitae, and statements of research and teaching interests. Also, please include names, addresses, telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses for three or more references. For information/questions regarding applications contact Marion Ragland, Faculty Recruitment Coordinator, College of Engineering, at ragland@purdue.edu. Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until position is filled. A background check will be required for employment in this position.

Purdue University is an EEO/AA employer fully committed to achieving a diverse workforce. All individuals, including minorities, women, individuals with disabilities, LGBTQ, and veterans are encouraged to apply.
