Application for Tenured Associate or Full Professor
The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) at Princeton University invites applications for a tenured Associate or Full Professor in aerospace engineering and sciences. We welcome applications addressing grand challenges in aerospace that build new synergies or establish new directions, especially in emerging space-related research areas. Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in engineering or a related subject in the sciences and mathematics and have a demonstrated record of excellence in research. We seek faculty members who will contribute to our community by embracing excellence and diversity, with a strong commitment to teaching and mentoring. We strongly encourage applications from members of groups historically underrepresented in mechanical and aerospace engineering.
We seek creative and enthusiastic candidates with the background and skills who can bridge the disciplines and research initiatives in MAE, the School of Engineering and Applied Science and the University beyond.
To ensure full consideration, applications should be received by January 15, 2025. Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, including a list of publications and presentations, a 3-5 page summary of research accomplishments and future plans, a 1-2 page teaching statement, a 1-2 page summary of leadership experience, and contact information for three references online at https://www.princeton.edu/acad-positions/position/35902.
Princeton University is an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law. This position is subject to the University's background check policy.
About Princeton University, Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE)
Princeton's Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering has played a leading role in propulsion, combustion, aerospace dynamics, and fluid dynamics over the past half century. In recent decades the Department has extended its reach as a leading presence in dynamics and control, applied physics, and materials science. By exploiting its multi-disciplinary character and stressing engineering fundamentals, the Department seeks to educate the very best students – undergraduate and graduate - for future positions of leadership in areas of rapidly evolving technology. Intellectual independence and creativity are fostered among undergraduate students through participation in research, design and other project opportunities. Graduate students explore the frontiers of science and technology through a wide range of scholarly activities, which include in-depth thesis level research, formal research presentations, and teaching.
The Department has a long history of leadership in its core research areas of Applied Physics, Dynamics and Controls, Fluid Mechanics, Materials Science, and Propulsion and Energy Sciences. Our strengths extend to cross-disciplinary efforts impacting areas such... as astronautics, bio-inspired design, bioengineering, medical applications, combustion and energy conversion, computational engineering, the environment and energy technologies, laser-matter interactions, security, and vehicle sciences and applications. We have long-standing interests in all manners of problems across Mechanical and Aerospace Science and Engineering: for example, in space exploration, satellite technology, pollution and alternative fuels, energy usage, battery technology, novel optical systems, propulsion systems, mechanics of fluids and solids, stability and control of vehicles, aircraft performance, and instrumentation.
