    The Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Michigan invites applications for full-time tenure-track or tenured faculty positions at all ranks. As the oldest Aerospace Engineering department in the United States, we are celebrating our 110th this year. We seek faculty members who commit to excellence in graduate and undergraduate education, will develop impactful, productive and novel research programs, and will contribute to our culture of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI). Candidates will be expected to complement existing research areas in the Department and across campus, and to assume a leadership position in aerospace related research. 


    This is a broad search. As part of it, we are especially interested in candidates with expertise related to computational mechanics, structural dynamics, multiphysics modeling and simulation, and multifunctional structures related to flight vehicles in air and space, preferably in connection with one of the research areas identified in our strategic thrusts (Sustainable Aviation, Commercial Space, Advanced Air Mobility, Digital Engineering, and Resilient Autonomy). Exceptional candidates with a strong connection with other aspects of our strategic research areas will also be considered. More information about our department can be found at https://aero.eng.umich.edu.
