The J. Mike Walker ’66 Department of Mechanical Engineering at Texas A&M University has several tenured/tenure-track faculty positions and academic professional (non-tenure) positions open.
- Tenured/Tenure Track: Open Rank The department will consider individuals with demonstrated expertise and experience in robotics, automation, and mechatronics. Complementary skills in machine design, ROS software, controls, simulation, dynamics, manipulation, mobility, perception and autonomy architectures are desired.
- Tenured/Tenure Track: Open Rank The department will consider individuals with demonstrated expertise and experience in emerging topics in mechanical engineering. These topics include but are not limited to: (1) Energy: storage, alternative, electric/energy grid, system-level analysis; (2) Autonomous and Human Machine systems: shared autonomy/automation, augmented reality/virtual reality; (3) Health Care: wearable sensors, modeling of diseases, statistical and data analysis for healthcare systems, medical robotics; (4) Resiliency: Infrastructure resiliency, vibrations and structural diagnostics, reduce reliance on rare Earth metals (critical materials), supply chain resilience; (5) Hypersonics: experimental and computational hypersonics, directed energy, laser-based diagnostics, aerothermodynamics, and multifunctional materials; and (6) Design: computational methods for materials, manufacturing, adaptive structures and systems design.
- Academic Professional Track (Non-tenure) Open Rank and Title The department will consider individuals with demonstrated expertise and experience teaching undergraduate students in courses in the mechanical engineering discipline including, but not restricted to SolidWorks, engineering experimentation, measurements, and numerical methods with computer programming and capstone design. Applicants with engineering education pedagogical research expertise will be given priority.
- Academic Professional Track (Non-tenure) Open Rank and Title The department will consider individuals with demonstrated expertise and experience in teaching and/or providing writing instructional support to undergraduate and graduate students in writing courses in the mechanical engineering discipline including, but not restricted to the writing component of mechanical measurements and design. Applicants with experience teaching technical writing will be given preference.
