About The Position
The Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Amherst is seeking talented applicants qualified for a tenure-track assistant professor position in aerospace engineering. The position is defined broadly across aerospace engineering, and scholars working across disciplines are encouraged. Specific areas of interest include propulsion, thermal management, and electrified/hybrid-electric propulsion; AI-augmented design (generative, learning) of aerospace structures or systems; and robotics/controls, including nonlinear and multi-agent systems. The department is committed to expanding beyond its traditional strengths and welcomes candidates whose work builds bridges to regional industry and existing strengths in thermo-fluids, materials, advanced manufacturing, robotics, and remote sensing. The university is looking for candidates who can operate effectively in a diverse faculty and student community and who value collegiality, collaboration, achievement, and integrity. Individuals with a commitment to mentor under-represented demographics within engineering, those with non-traditional career paths, those who have paused careers for family or other reasons, or who spent time outside of academia are encouraged to apply.
Requirements
- Ph.D. in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, or a closely related field, or anticipate such a degree by September 1, 2027.
Nice To Haves
- Scholars working across disciplines are encouraged.
- Candidates whose work builds bridges to regional industry and to existing strengths in thermo-fluids, materials, advanced manufacturing, robotics, and remote sensing.
- Candidates who can operate effectively in a diverse faculty and student community.
- Candidates who value collegiality, collaboration, achievement, and integrity.
- Individuals with a commitment to mentor under-represented demographics within engineering.
- Candidates who have had non-traditional career paths, those who have paused their careers for family or other reasons, or who spent time outside of academia.
Responsibilities
- Develop an externally-funded research program in aerospace engineering.
- Develop and maintain an internationally recognized scholarly presence.
- Contribute to teaching existing graduate and undergraduate courses in aerospace and mechanical engineering (e.g., aerodynamics, propulsion, flight dynamics and controls, aerospace thermal systems).
- Develop creative new curricula, including courses supporting the department's aerospace academic program.
- Contribute meaningful service to their department, College, University and externally within their field through participation in committees, faculty governance, and activities that support the academic community.
- Other duties as assigned.
Benefits
- The University expects to pay within an approximate range between $79,350 and $129,272 for this position.
- The low end of the pay range in all faculty searches at the University of Massachusetts Amherst is the minimum salary for the rank included in the collective bargaining agreement between the University and the Massachusetts Society of Professors, UMass Amherst/MTA/NEA.
- Engineering TT starting salaries are typically well above this minimum.
- The high end of the pay range reflects the 75th percentile for the department/discipline based on established, disciplinary-specific faculty compensation surveys.
