Job Description

The Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in Systems Engineering at the rank of Assistant Professor to start August 2022, though earlier appointments in January 2022 will be considered. Successful applicants should demonstrate a potential to establish and grow a strong externally funded research program and to excel at teaching and mentoring undergraduate and graduate students. The preferred areas of expertise are model-based systems engineering (MBSE), system safety engineering, reliability engineering, system quality assurance, decision and risk analysis, complex systems modeling, as well as safety-critical systems development.

The successful candidates will have the opportunity to join one or more of the university’s research centers, including the recently created Center for Aerospace Resilience (CAR), Cybersecurity and Assured Systems Engineering (CyBASE), NEAR (Next-Generation Embry-Riddle Applied Research), ASSURE (FAA Center of Excellence in Unmanned Aircraft Systems), and the Eagle Flight Research Center. Research facilities at Embry-Riddle include well-equipped cross-disciplinary laboratories in the John Mica Aerospace and Engineering Innovation Complex (MicaPlex). The Research Park at MicaPlex also houses an incubator space, where a growing number of businesses are creating an echo system to support innovation and entrepreneurship. Current systems engineering research within the department includes aviation and aerospace system safety analysis, testing and certification of airborne AI/ML systems, formal analysis of combined UAS safety and security requirements, integration of airspace new entrants, and system resilience modeling. Other research includes hybrid-electric aircraft power systems, wireless avionics, additive manufacturing of antennas, sense and avoid systems, underwater communications, and aerospace cybersecurity. The department is home to an NSF RED (Revolutionizing Engineering Departments) award exploring agile frameworks in academia, with the goal of making our department more responsive to student, industry, and community needs.
