The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE), at the University of California, San Diego, invites applications for an Associate or Full Professor position in Fusion Energy Engineering.
We seek exceptional candidates with a demonstrated record of accomplishment who will establish a vigorous fusion materials research program.
Research aimed at developing solid and/or liquid plasma-facing components with adequate lifetime, low radiological activation, and low tritium retention under fusion conditions, and that can be integrated with both high-performance fusion plasmas and with the underlying structural material/coolant system of the tritium breeding blanket is of particular interest.
Candidates with demonstrated interests in other critical fusion engineering topics, including tritium breeding blanket development, tritium fuel cycle processing and fueling, and high-performance low-activation materials in magnetic and/or inertial fusion energy reactors are also encouraged to apply. The activities of the newly appointed Professor will be synergistic with those of existing Department faculty working in fusion plasma physics, laser-plasma interactions and pulsed power, plasma-material interactions, materials in extreme conditions, mechanics of materials and other related areas.
The required job duties for this position encompass:
1) Establishing a robust research program, which involves the development of grant proposals & securing funding;
2) Teaching university students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels;
3) Maintaining professional competency in related discipline;
4) Participating in a variety of service activities.
In this role, we expect that the successful candidate will showcase significant contributions that reflect their ongoing scholarly progress in their respective field through the following attributes:
1) Consistently outstanding teaching performance;
2) Exceptional scholarly achievements;
3) Consistent delivery of high-caliber research and work;
4) A deep passion for creative endeavors.
