The Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering seeks candidates for a tenure-track Assistant Professor faculty position. Candidates with expertise in all areas of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering will be considered for this position. This search is a part of UC Davis' commitment to hiring leading research faculty with a strong commitment to teaching, research, and service that addresses the needs of our increasingly diverse state, industry, faculty, and student populations. The Department already has strong faculty members in several areas of mechanical and aerospace engineering including Design, Manufacturing, MEMS and Nanostructures, Dynamics, Controls and Robotics, Energy, Propulsion and Environment, Fluid Mechanics, Aerodynamics, Human-Systems Engineering with Space Applications, and Mechanics of Solids and Structures. Interested candidates can visit the department website ( https://mae.ucdavis.edu ) for more information. UC Davis is also the most comprehensive campus within the University of California system with departments and programs in many disciplines including medical and veterinary school, school of law, physical sciences and so on. The existing cohort of faculty within the Department, and in other departments on campus, will provide opportunities for the successful candidate to collaborate and build synergies to shape unique research programs in her/his field. Candidates must have a Ph.D. or an equivalent degree or have advanced to candidacy for the PhD or an equivalent degree at the time of the application, in mechanical or aerospace engineering, or a related field. This is an early career tenure track faculty position at the Assistant Professor level and candidates with more than four years beyond completion of their PhD degrees will not be considered. Applications are encouraged from candidates with a strong background in any current or emerging area that is relevant to mechanical or aerospace engineering. We are particularly interested in candidates who use their creativity, engineering skills, and leadership to collaboratively discover solutions to difficult technological and societal challenges, can foster innovation in their field and have commitment to education. The current teaching expectation in the Department is one regular course per quarter in each academic year. These courses will include material in the successful candidate's area of expertise for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as core and elective undergraduate and graduate courses, and the development of new courses, as necessary. The new Diane Bryant Engineering Student Design Center offers outstanding opportunities for fabrication of specialized research apparatus, and the Center for Nano-Micro Manufacturing offers a 10,000 square foot class 100 cleanroom environment for MEMS and Nanotechnology research. Additional specialized facilities are also available on campus. In addition, the successful candidate will be expected to promote the professional development of graduate students in the M.S. and Ph.D. programs through high-quality mentoring that promotes diversity, equity, and inclusion. The successful candidate will demonstrate an understanding of the barriers preventing full participation of members from historically underrepresented and marginalized student communities in higher education. Applicant's record of engagement and activities related to diversity, equal opportunity, and inclusion as well as their plans for future engagement will be part of the overall evaluation of the candidate's qualifications for a faculty appointment. UC Davis is a tier-one research university and has a strong history of engaging in teaching, research, and service for the greater public good as a land grant institution. The College of Engineering has an exciting Next Level Strategic Research Vision with major pillars for research, education, and community. Our vision can be found here: [ https://engineering.ucdavis.edu/about/next-level-strategic-vision ]. The University of California is committed to creating and maintaining a community dedicated to the advancement, application, and transmission of knowledge and creative endeavors through academic excellence, where all individuals who participate in University programs and activities can work and learn together in a safe and secure environment, free of violence, harassment, discrimination, exploitation, or intimidation. With this commitment, UC Davis conducts a reference check on all first-choice candidates for Academic Senate Assistant Professor, Steps 4, 5, or 6 through Professor, Lecturer with Potential for Security of Employment, Steps 4, 5, or 6 through Senior Lecturer with Security of Employment, and Acting Professor of Law through Professor of Law positions. The reference check involves contacting the administration of the applicant's previous institution(s) to ask whether there have been substantiated findings of misconduct that would violate the University's Faculty Code of Conduct. To implement this process, UC Davis requires all applicants for any open search for these faculty positions to complete, sign, and upload the form entitled 'Authorization to Release Information' into RECRUIT as part of their application. If an applicant does not include the signed authorization with the application materials, the application will be considered incomplete, and as with any incomplete application, will not receive further consideration. Although all applicants for faculty recruitments must complete the entire application, only finalists considered for these faculty positions will be subject to reference checks.
