The Department of Aerospace Engineering at Auburn University invites applications for one or more open rank tenure-track faculty positions (Assistant, Associate or Full Professor) in the area of space engineering. Candidates are especially encouraged to apply with expertise in: in-orbit servicing, assembly, and manufacturing; autonomy for space systems; space situational awareness; orbital debris remediation, space traffic management and collision avoidance; spacecraft systems; space logistics; and satellite security. Candidates with exceptional backgrounds in other areas related to aerospace engineering will also be considered.

 

Candidates will be expected to fully contribute to the department’s mission through (i) the development of a strong, nationally recognized, funded research program, (ii) teaching aerospace engineering related courses at both the undergraduate and graduate level, and (iii) professional service. Successful candidates will have a demonstrated track record of scholarship, a creative vision for research, an active interest in engineering education, and strong communication skills.

 

For applications at the rank of Associate or Full Professor, an emphasis will be placed on the strength and caliber of the candidate’s existing research program and the candidate’s ability and desire to provide mentorship and leadership to junior faculty members in a rapidly growing department.
