We seek candidates with track record in the broad research area of Mission Engineering (ME) and its applications to domains requiring advanced engineering solutions to solve increasingly complex problems at the interface of technology and society. Such problems arise in research areas such as emergency response and management, disaster relief, community resilience, and hazard mitigation in transportation systems, healthcare, critical infrastructures, and others. This position is open to candidates from engineering disciplines in any of the academic departments in the BCET. The appointment will be in one of the five BCET departments depending on the selected candidate’s background and expertise.

The BCET offers coursework and a certificate in Mission Engineering and has a cohort of doctoral students that conduct mission engineering related research. The College conducts extensive research that integrates into and complements various mission engineering research areas. The successful candidate is expected to perform teaching, build a strong externally funded research program, engage in various service activities, and demonstrate an unwavering commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) among students, faculty, and staff.
