It's fun to work at a placewhere people truly BELIEVE in what they are doing!
We're committed to bringing passion and energy to Colorado School ofMines.Tenure/Tenure-Track Professor and Rowlinson Chair in MechanicalEngineering (Tenure-Track Faculty), Additive Manufacturing Specialization
The Opportunity
Colorado School of Mines (Mines) invites applications foranewTenure/Tenure-Track faculty position in the area of Additive Manufacturing(AM) within the Mechanical Engineering (ME) Department at theAssistant or AssociateProfessor rank.Exceptional candidates at the AssociateProfessor rank will be considered for theRowlinson Chair appointment,whichis supported by an endowment providingdiscretionary funding to enhanceresearch and/or teaching activities. Thisposition is an integral part ofMines' strategic effort to support and expand core research strengthsandsupport research and teaching efforts in the ME Department.Candidates areexpected to demonstrate an ability to teach courses that serve both the coreMEcurriculumas well as topics specific to AM. Preferred areas of teachingcontribution within ME include solid mechanics, materials,manufacturing, modeling and simulation (e.g., FEA, CFD), design,or biomechanics. The ideal candidate will also have a successful track recordin AM-related research. Specific areas of research interest include, but areno
Design optimization: Topology optimization incorporating materials andmanufacturing, new design methodologies, multi-functional component designusing AM, multi-physics modeling (e.g., structural, heat transfer,fluid flow).
Process sensing, monitoring and control: Areas of sensor hardware,signalanalysis for quality assurance, feedback control, computer visionand machine learning (ML) techniques.
Process modeling: Application of AM process modeling tools, novel modelingmethodologies, multi-alloy, multi-material composition and processing design.
Integration of interdisciplinary techniques is encouraged, such as datascience, statistical methods, uncertainty quantification, artificialintelligence/ML, and application of augmented reality/virtual reality.
The successful candidate should be able to articulate a compelling visionforteaching emerging AM topics and creating a strongexternally funded researchprogram that leverages collaboration with ongoing work at Mines and addressesnational research priorities in AM.The successful candidate will alsodemonstrateapotential for service and excellence in training future STEMleaders to address pressing advanced manufacturing challenges at theregional, national, and global level.This position will contribute toMines' interdisciplinary research culture and mission asa top-of-mind andfirst-choice school for students, public and private partners, and facultyand staff.The successful candidate will have the opportunity to collaboratewith colleagues in other departments across campususing a broad range ofexisting equipment through the Alliance for the Development of AdditiveProcessing Technology (ADAPT)research center and industry consortium()and interdisciplinary graduate programs such as Additive Manufacturing().Faculty will also benefit from exciting opportunities to collaborateand interface with regional partners, including federal labs (NREL,NIST) and i
