The DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING, University of California, Berkeley, seeks candidates for a tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant Professor level. The Department seeks candidates with expertise in the broad area of Data-Driven Engineering Design, representing the fusion of mechanical engineering design with cutting-edge data science techniques such as artificial intelligence and machine learning.

The themes of interest should be interpreted broadly and include such topics as: data science applied to optimization in design and manufacturing; design using human-AI interaction across the engineering design process; and AI and ML approaches for design and system science.

We anticipate that candidates in Data-Driven Engineering Design may also support the Department’s commitment to fostering interdisciplinary research to address societal grand challenges, and candidates are encouraged to highlight any connections between their research interests and grand challenges such as: sustainable energy, water, and mobility; engineering for human health; autonomous and intelligent mechanical systems; and aerospace engineering.

UC Berkeley is a fertile environment for engineering research blending computational and data-driven techniques with design, including such strengths as the Jacobs Institute for Design Innovation and the recently inaugurated Division of Computing, Data Science, and Society.

In addition to developing a vibrant, cutting-edge research program, the successful candidate will be expected to teach and develop undergraduate- and graduate-level courses in design and/or related areas. Courses of particular relevance include the Department’s introductory and capstone design classes, as well as courses with a data science component.

The Department is committed to addressing the family needs of faculty, including dual career couples and single parents. We are also interested in candidates who have had non-traditional career paths or who have taken time off for family reasons, or who have achieved excellence in careers outside academia. For more information about potential relocation to Berkeley, or career needs of accompanying partners and spouses, please visit http://ofew.berkeley.edu/new-faculty.

Description

Metal-based additive processes—especially laser powder bed fusion (LPBF)—are promising emerging manufacturing technologies for producing complex and highly-customized parts. These processes have been in development over the past 15+ years and their capabilities have grown significantly. An important effort within the LPBF community is the use of high-fidelity multiphysics models to predict melt pool properties, material cooling rates, material grain structure, and the mechanical properties of bulk parts. These models attempt to resolve a variety of complex physics that occur during laser-metal interaction, and the accuracy of such models must be validated by high-quality physical experiments. This project seeks to develop research tools for measuring laser propagation, material cooling rates, and more, through high-speed micro-videography, radiometry, and other thermo-fluid contact measurements. Desired qualifications include experimental research experience, design of mechanical parts and assemblies (SolidWorks experience is preferable), experience with developing VI’s in LabVIEW, and experience with data and image processing (MATLAB experience preferable).Keywords:Additive manufacturing; Laser powder bed fusion; Process metrology; High-speed imaging; Radiometry

The Roux Institute is a new translational research model designed to accelerate regional technology economies through interdisciplinary and use-inspired science and engineering through comprehensive industry partnerships and an entrepreneurial mindset.  Unlike most other non-tenure track research positions, research faculty and senior research scientists and engineers at the Roux Institute are eligible to receive three years of hard salary funding plus startup for laboratory and equipment startup.

About the Opportunities

Research Faculty. The Research Faculty at the Roux Institute at Northeastern University will be responsible for building an independent and externally funded research program, as well as providing leadership for overseeing the growth of the research program within their respective fields. Besides the faculty title of “Research Professor” (at the appropriate rank, based on experience), the successful candidate will be named as an “Institute Member” at the Roux Institute. Importantly, though these are intended to be externally funded positions, research faculty at the Roux Institute are provided with three years of full salary support plus a generous research startup package.

Research Staff. As an independent contributor to the Roux Institute Research mission, the Research Scientist will be responsible for driving and contributing to research within their respective fields. Senior level research scientists and engineers who are selected to serve in the role of principal investigator will be named as an “Institute Member” at the Roux Institute and will be eligible for consideration for research startup funding.

Postdoctoral Researchers. Postdoctoral researchers will contribute to research within their respective fields and build relationships with partner organizations. Researchers with interdisciplinary interests across two or more research verticals (Computational Medicine, Data Visualization, Engineering, and Experiential AI) are particularly encouraged to apply.
