Faculty Positions in Aeronautics and Astronautics / Stanford University

[Rick Kwan]

The Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Stanford University
invites applications for two tenure track faculty positions at the
Assistant or untenured Associate Professor level.

Pioneering research in Aeronautics and Astronautics is critical to
accommodate the expected large increases in air transportation system
demand, to exploit new applications for autonomous air vehicles, and
to achieve breakthroughs in future space systems. We are seeking
applicants who will develop innovative courses and conduct research at
the frontier of areas such as space systems engineering, cyber-
physical systems, autonomous systems, control and navigation, aviation
and the environment, system simulation and design, and aerospace
structures and materials. This is a broad area search, and we will
place higher priority on the impact, originality, and promise of the
candidate's work than on the particular sub-area of specialization
within Aeronautics and Astronautics.

Evidence of the ability to pursue a program of innovative research and
a strong commitment to graduate and undergraduate teaching are
required. The successful candidate will be expected to teach courses
at the graduate and undergraduate levels and to build and lead a team
of graduate students in Ph.D. research.

Applicants should include a Curriculum Vita, a list of publications, a
one-page statement of research vision, a one-page statement of
teaching interests, and the names of five references. Please submit
these materials as a single PDF file labeled
"AA_Search_LastName_FirstName.pdf" to aase...@lists.stanford.edu. If
you have not received confirmation of receipt of your application
within one week or would like additional information, please contact
Professor Steve Rock (ro...@stanford.edu). The review of applications
will begin on March 1, 2009; however, applications will be accepted
until both positions are filled.

Stanford University is an equal opportunity employer and is committed
to increasing the diversity of its faculty. It welcomes nominations
of and applications from women and members of minority groups, as well
as others who would bring additional dimensions to the university's
research and teaching missions.
