The Department of Mechanical, Aerospace and Nuclear Engineering (MANE) at RENSSELAER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in Troy, NY has the unprecedented opportunity to hire multiple faculty at all ranks in the programs comprising the Department
This is part of a university-wide strategic effort to grow the School of Engineering by more than 25% and firmly place Rensselaer as one of the premier engineering schools in the country.
This is a unique opportunity for individuals with demonstrated multidisciplinary teaming and leadership skills to create high-impact block-funded research programs.
In addition to strong teaching skills, a Ph.D. or foreign equivalent in a relevant area, and the ability to develop an internationally recognized research program at Rensselaer, we are looking for individuals with a comprehensive vision as well as the skills needed to integrate into a multi-disciplinary department. At the same time, we are committed to maintaining our outstanding reputation in undergraduate education, as well as to broadening our faculty diversity profile through the process.
Rensselaer has several strategic research directions, including biotechnology, energy and environment, computation, and nanotechnology. The recent establishment of the $100M Center of Computational Nanotechnology (CCNI) promises to provide the fastest university based supercomputer in the world. Within MANE, control and dynamics, and manufacturing and design are priority areas of growth; and other research thrust areas include nanostructured materials for next generation nuclear reactors, multiscale computation and science, nuclear-biomedical imaging and diagnostics, reducing thermal signatures of surface ships, fuel cell design and manufacturing, composites manufacturing, and sustainable design. We seek individuals to augment these thrusts as well as integrate new and existing strengths into new thrusts.
Applicants should submit a resume, a statement of professional interests and plans as well as contact information for four professional references to:
