Assistant Professor

The Department of Mechanical Engineering (ME) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is seeking
applicants for two tenure-track Assistant Professor in the areas of experimental fluid dynamics and
structural dynamics.

Fluid Dynamics:
Applications to aerodynamics, turbulence, wind energy, flow control, bio-inspired flows, or related
fields.
The ideal candidate will be interested in collaborative research and be an integral contributor to the
Engineering Mechanics/Aerospace (EMA) undergraduate and graduate programs, which are housed in
the ME Department. In view of the expanding aerospace engineering industry and employment
opportunities, the ME Department seeks to strengthen and grow its Aerospace Engineering teaching
and research profile.

Structural Dynamics:
We seek candidates with a vision to address societally impactful problems in aerospace,
manufacturing, transportation, infrastructure, healthcare, energy, and/or communication, and
strengthen and deepen the current research focus areas of the department. Areas of interest
include complex mechanical systems, structural dynamics, acoustics and noise control, nonlinear
dynamics, reduced-order modeling, system identification, engineered materials and structures.
When appropriate to their research and teaching visions, candidates should leverage experimental
and computational assets such as the Wisconsin Centers for Nanoscale Technology, Wisconsin
Structures & Materials Testing Laboratory, and the Center for High Throughput Computing.

Responsibilities:

Teaching and developing undergraduate and graduate courses in Mechanical Engineering, mentoring
graduate students and supervising their research; developing and directing an extramurally funded
research program; participating in departmental and university faculty governance; and contributing
to professional and public service.

Qualifications and Education:

Candidates will have a demonstrated record of academic achievement such as peer-reviewed
publications and grant awards appropriate for the early career, exceptional potential in establishing a
world-class research program and a commitment to high-quality undergraduate and graduate
instruction.

Required:PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Mechanics, Aerospace Engineering, or closely related
field, with demonstrated excellence and potential in research and teaching.
