The Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) invites nominations and applications for a faculty position in the general areas of flight dynamics, control, and autonomous robotic systems with a targeted starting date in August 2023. The appointment is expected to be at the Assistant Professor or untenured Associate Professor level, but more senior appointments will be considered for exceptional candidates having demonstrated a superior research and teaching record with a strong commitment to aerospace applications. While all related areas of research will be considered, candidates with a research agenda closely aligned with aerospace applications and the strategic directions of the school that complement the School’s current strengths, are highly desirable.
Candidates are required to have a doctorate in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical or Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or another closely related field. The successful candidate should have an outstanding research record and will be expected to teach graduate and undergraduate courses in his/her area of expertise, supervise graduate students and interact with the faculty on the development of a strong, independent, externally funded research program. The candidate will also have the opportunity to interact with and be part of, the Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Machines (IRIM), the Control and Decision Laboratory, and the Machine Learning Center at Georgia Tech.
The Aerospace Engineering program at Georgia Tech is the largest program of its kind in the US, having approximately 45 full-time faculty members, more than 1,100 undergraduate students, and 800+ graduate students. Both its undergraduate and graduate programs are ranked among the top aerospace engineering programs in the nation. The research interests of the faculty cover a broad spectrum including fluid and gas dynamics, propulsion and combustion, aerodynamics, structural mechanics and materials, aeroelasticity, rotorcraft, aircraft and space systems design, dynamics and control, robotics and autonomy, and human factors. More information about the GTAE School and its multi-disciplinary strategic research areas can be found at www.ae.gatech.edu.
Applicants should send electronically via e-mail a curriculum vitae, a cover letter, a statement of teaching interests and philosophy, a statement of research plans, and the name and contact information of at least three references to: Michelle Hall, c/o Professor Panagiotis Tsiotras, School of Aerospace Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA, 30332-0150.
