Connecticut is home to companies such as Sikorsky (Lockheed Martin), Pratt and Whitney, RBC Bearings, Electric Boat (General Dynamics), and Medtronic, and has an annual output of over $30 billion in manufacturing. With nearly one of every ten Connecticut employees working in the manufacturing sector, there is a significant opportunity for advanced manufacturing in Connecticut.

  • Familiarity with course and program assessment and with the ABET accreditation process.
  • Record of scholarly accomplishments consistent with the desired rank, including successful grant funding and notable publications.
  • Demonstrated ability to forge relationships with industrial partners to benefit students; industrial experience will be considered favorably.

Responsibilities: The successful candidate will be responsible for developing courses and teaching in the new advanced manufacturing focus area at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The candidate is also expected to teach in the general area of thermal/fluids and/or energy courses such as renewable energy, solar energy and energy efficiency. There is potential for the candidate to coordinate the Sikorsky Archives. The candidate is expected to develop funded research and continue scholarly work. Additional responsibilities include advising students, student recruitment, coordination of ABET-related activities, and participating in university committees.
