About The Position

The Department of Aerospace Engineering in The Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign invites applications for an open-rank (assistant, associate, or full professor level) tenure-track, full-time faculty position. Applications broadly in computational mechanics and materials will be considered. Areas of interest include, but not limited to, advanced manufacturing and process modeling, materials and structures in extreme environments, multiphysics and multiscale modeling, digital twins, fluid-thermal-structure interaction, data-driven and AI-accelerated modeling, multifunctional materials and intelligent structures. Successful candidates must be able to teach in these and other areas while also contributing to the excellence of our programs through research and service efforts. The Aerospace Engineering Department at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has top-ranked graduate and undergraduate programs, 34 faculty (tenure-track, tenured, and specialized), over 900 undergraduates and 300 graduate students. The department and The Grainger College of Engineering are at the forefront of aerospace mechanics, materials, and manufacturing research. The AE Department recently completed the construction of several state-of-the-art facilities to support the Laboratory for Advanced Space Systems at Illinois, and the Composites and Additive Manufacturing Laboratory with large-scale, structural composites additive printing capabilities. Other recent additions, include a hypervelocity impact testing facility, a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) environment testing facility, and a new student collaborative workspace.

Requirements

A doctoral degree in Aerospace Engineering or a related field is required at the start date.
