The University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies (UTIAS) is seeking applications for a tenure-track position at the level of Assistant Professor or Associate Professor in aerospace engineering. The successful applicant will be nominated for a Tier II Canada Research Chair (www.chairs.gc.ca). The appointment will begin on or after July 1, 2010.
We seek applicants whose primary area of research is related to high-fidelity multi-disciplinary optimization, as applied to aircraft design. However, consideration will be given to applicants with expertise in any area related to aerospace science and engineering. Preference will be given to applicants who will contribute to the UTIAS strategic focus on reducing the environmental impact of aircraft. Experience with large-scale computing is also an asset; the University of Toronto’s supercomputer ranked 16th in the June 2009 Top 500 ranking. Applicants must have a doctoral degree, typically from an aerospace or mechanical engineering department, and a strong commitment to both teaching and research. The successful candidate is expected to establish and lead a dynamic research program, supervise graduate students, and teach undergraduate and postgraduate courses. The selection will be based primarily on the applicant’s potential for excellence in research and teaching. Salary is commensurate with qualifications and experience. For information about UTIAS, please see our web site (www.utias.utoronto.ca).
