Assistant Professor - Mechanical Engineering

The primary responsibilities for this position will be expected to teach at undergraduate and graduate levels, publish, and secure external funding for research in Fluid-Structure Interaction, including:

• Aerothermodynamics Principles: Demonstrate expertise in aerodynamics, propulsion, hypersonic flow, thermodynamics, and continuum mechanics, with a focus on durability, fatigue, fracture, aerospace structures, or nuclear applications.
• Fluid-Structure System Design: Demonstrate proficiency in the use of CFD tools for designing and analyzing fluid-structure interaction systems. Experience with modeling, experimental prototyping, and system optimization is preferred.
• Component Analysis: Apply of design thinking and systems thinking to fluid-structure components.
• Fluid Behavior: Show an understanding of fluid behavior at extreme temperatures, including applications in nuclear and aerospace systems.
• Multi-Physics with Mathematical Models and Numerical Methods: Demonstrate capability to model and analyze fluid-structure interaction under dynamic loading and complex boundary conditions.

Other responsibilities include, but are not limited to, serving on committees, engaging in program assessment and service to the department, College, and University as needed.
