Job Summary
The Department of Mechanical, Aerospace, and Nuclear Engineering (MANE) at RENSSELAER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in Troy, NY, invites applications for tenure-track faculty positions in Mechanical Engineering. Areas of special interest include emerging research directions in sustainable design and manufacturing, robotics and controls, and other novel application areas that integrate high performance computing, AI, and machine learning. We will also consider candidates working in other areas of mechanical engineering that will bring additional dimensions to MANE's research and teaching mission. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute is an equal opportunity/ affirmative action employer and is committed to increasing the diversity of its faculty. Applications will be considered at the adjunct or early Associate Professor levels.
Candidates must possess an earned Ph.D. or foreign equivalent in Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related field.

MANE research addresses some of the world's most pressing technological challenges-from energy and sustainable development to materials, manufacturing, controls, adaptive and resilient systems, biotechnology, and human health. The department's annual research expenditures total more than $15 million. More than 1,400 undergraduate students and 230 graduate students are currently enrolled in MANE. Faculty have access to world-class research facilities and an atmosphere that promotes interdisciplinary collaborations. The New York State Center for Future Energy Systems conducts fundamental and applied research to accelerate the development of energy-efficient and renewable energy technologies. The Center for Materials, Devices and Integrated Systems aims to advance next-generation electronic and optical devices, manufacturing and robotics, integrated biomaterial devices, energy harvesting and storage, electric transmission/distribution, responsive and adaptive built environments, and nanostructured composite materials. The Center for Computational Innovation and the Scientific Computation Research Center house one of the most powerful computers for AI applications - the Artificial Intelligence Multiprocessing Optimized System (AiMOS). The Center for Biotechnology and Interdisciplinary Studies and the Center for Engineering and Precision Medicine are engaged in both fundamental and translational biomedical research. The Institute for Data Exploration and Applications and the Experimental Media and the Cognitive Immersive Systems Lab provide new and exciting opportunities to manipulate and practice data and cognitive computing.
