The Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Maryland (www.aero.umd.edu) invites applications for one or more full-time, tenure-track assistant professor position in space exploration.
Candidates from groups traditionally underrepresented in this field are strongly encouraged to apply. Priority will be given to applicants who will utilize the unique experimental capabilities afforded by UMD’s Neutral Buoyancy Research Facility and have expertise in one or more of the following areas (in no specific order): (1) space robotics; (2) space human factors, life support, and bioastronautics; (3) space systems, including flight hardware development (including CubeSats) and systems analysis; and (4) spacecraft instrumentation and computing. Individuals who can connect to these areas or who are working at the boundaries of these areas are also encouraged to apply.
Applicants will be expected to develop a strong research program related to space exploration and complementary to existing research capabilities. Additionally, successful applicants will be expected to contribute to the graduate and undergraduate course offerings in this area.
Applicants should possess a Ph.D. degree in aerospace engineering or a closely-related field by the start date of employment. Successful candidates should be effective communicators and have an ability and interest in working with diverse student populations having a variety of backgrounds, learning styles, and skill levels.
For best consideration, applications should be received by October 28th, 2024, but the position will remain open until filled.
