The Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University (ASU) and the School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy (SEMTE) seek applicants for a tenure-track or tenured faculty position in the area of space robotics, controls, and autonomous systems. The School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy (https://semte.engineering.asu.edu/), one of the eight Fulton Schools, houses a vibrant and dynamic engineering research community in robotics and autonomous systems (learn more at http://robotics.asu.edu and http://ras.engineering.asu.edu). We seek applicants who enhance our abilities in these areas to solve grand challenges as part of a community of experts. Applications are welcome from all fields of in-space dynamics, control, robotics, and propulsion. Particular areas of interest include, but are not limited to: Electric and Advanced Propulsion, Spacecraft Guidance, Navigation and Control (SGNC); Cislunar Astrodynamics; Satellite Constellations; Space Domain Awareness; Autonomous Systems; Orbital Debris and Space Environment; In-space Assembly, Manufacturing, and Space Robotics; and Interplanetary Trajectory and Mission Design.
