The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE), School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS) at the University of Virginia (UVA) is seeking candidates (all ranks) in energy transfer. The focus is on computational and theoretical investigation of heat and mass transfer, which can range from the nanoscale to the microscale and to the mesoscale. A scholar will bring expertise to already existing Thermal Management strengths in SEAS and UVA, and will investigate fundamental thermophysics related to innovative solutions in societal challenges and national needs. This faculty hire will complement researchers in MAE and SEAS that examine similar scales in heat transfer, mass transfer, fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, as well as reacting flows and surfaces.
To apply, candidates must submit a Candidate Profile through Jobs@UVA https://jobs.virginia.edu under the posting number 0617706. Please attach a cover letter, statement of research interest, statement of teaching philosophy, CV/Resume, and contact information for 3 references.
MAE is nationally recognized for its active interdisciplinary research and superior education programs and has built up strong thrusts in biomechanics, automobile safety, high-speed propulsion and bio-inspired propulsion, rotating machinery, multi-scale heat transfer, and advanced manufacturing.
SEAS offers a vibrant research culture where innovative, interdisciplinary, and foundational research is conducted in a collegial atmosphere. It is committed to enhancing a culturally diverse community and strongly encourages applications from women, minorities, veterans and persons with disabilities; furthermore, the university is an active dual career employer.
Screening of applicants begin on January 4, 2016 and will continue until the positions are filled. Questions about either position can be emailed to Jackie Slaughter-Scott at jls5bc [at] virginia.edu.
