The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) at University at Buffalo (UB) invites candidates to apply for the positions of Assistant Professor, Associate Professor or Full Professor.  We are particularly looking for candidates who can operate effectively in a team environment and in a diverse community of students and faculty and share our vision of helping all constituents reach their full potential.  

The successful candidate will be expected to teach courses at the graduate and undergraduate levels, mentor graduate students, advise students at all levels and maintain an active research program. The successful candidate for an Associate Professor or Full Professor position should have a record of scholarly accomplishments, teaching experience and a sustained externally funded research program. Desirable areas of research expertise include manufacturing (including but not limited to data driven manufacturing, robotics and AI enabled manufacturing, design for manufacturing and Industrial IoT), energy (including but not limited to renewable energy, energy storage, energy harvesting) or hypersonics (high speed aerodynamics, nonequilibrium flow physics and aero-optics).  

The University at Buffalo (UB), a member of the prestigious Association of American Universities (AAU), is the largest and most comprehensive university in The State University of New York (SUNY) system, with about 20,000 undergraduates and 10,000 graduate students and 1600 fulltime faculty.
