Chaired Professorship (Ohio Eminent Scholar) (DOC)

The Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics at the University of Cincinnati invites applications for the position of Ohio Eminent Scholar in the research area of reliability and service life management for advanced propulsion and power systems. This is a tenured faculty position at the level of full professor which was established with special support from the Ohio Board of Regents and cost sharing from the University of Cincinnati. The successful candidate will lead research efforts on life extension technologies and life cycle management of propulsion and power systems. Life management technologies of special interest include quantitative life prediction methods, manufacturing quality control, nondestructive inspection, real-time in-situ engine health monitoring, intelligent data fusion, optimized maintenance strategies, and repair procedures to complement the existing strength of our faculty in propulsion, heat transfer, fluid dynamics, computational and experimental mechanics, and nondestructive evaluation.

The Ohio Eminent Scholar must have an earned doctoral degree in engineering or physics, with an outstanding research record at a prestigious university or research laboratory. Additional qualifications include experience in a position of leadership in research and teaching, interaction with researchers from other departments and institutions, and a record of extramural support from both the government and industrial sectors. This person should have expertise in one or more of the following areas; improved high-strength high-temperature aerospace materials, modern surface enhancement technologies, service life prognostics, and improved engineered materials for advanced erosion and corrosion protection under extreme operational conditions and environmentally-assisted degradation mechanisms. The Ohio Eminent Scholar must be a new hire to Ohio universities or colleges and may not be currently employed within the State of Ohio.

Please include the following:
  • a complete curriculum vita
  • names and addresses of at least three references familiar with the candidate's research/teaching abilities
  • a detailed statement of research interests (indicating the scope of research and its importance to basic scientific and/or technical knowledge)
  • a statement of teaching interests, and
  • copies of two or three representative publications.

Solids and Structures
The Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics at the University of Cincinnati invites applications for one anticipated tenure-track faculty position in the solids and structural mechanics area. Applications at the level of assistant professor are preferred, although appointment at a higher level may be considered when appropriate. Candidates should hold an earned doctoral degree in aerospace engineering, engineering mechanics, or other closely related discipline, and are expected to build a strong funded research program, publish in archival journals, advise graduate and undergraduate students, and teach at the graduate and undergraduate levels. The successful candidate will join the Solids and Structures group that focuses on life extension technologies including constitutive relationships, modeling of material behavior, fatigue, plasticity, endurance, creep, life prediction methods, numerical simulation of damage initiation and propagation, materials characterization, and nondestructive testing.
