Jobs at AeroAstroFACULTY SEARCH: The Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics is seeking applicants for tenure track faculty positions with potential starts in September 2010. Department programs encompass aircraft, spacecraft, transportation, information, and communication systems. The search will be broad, encompassing all areas of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Our goal is to hire candidates who have deep expertise in one or more core disciplines, and who have the potential and intellectual flexibility to become world leaders through integration of these disciplines to define and address new opportunities. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, real-time, safety-critical systems; autonomous systems; humans-in-the-loop systems; structures and materials; combustion / reacting flows; aero-acoustics; aircraft or engine design; air transportation; human and robotic exploration of space; aerospace communications; environmental impact modeling; and computational engineering. Faculty duties include teaching at the graduate and undergraduate levels, research, and supervision of student research. Candidates should hold a Ph.D. in aeronautics and astronautics or a related field by the beginning of the appointment period. The search is for the assistant professor level, but qualified candidates at all levels will be considered. Applications must be submitted in pdf format online at https://facsearch.mit.edu. Applicants must submit a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, a 2–3 page statement of research and teaching interests and goals, and the names and contact information of at least three individuals who will provide letters of recommendation. Applicants should request that letters of recommendation be submitted online at https://facsearch.mit.edu by the recommenders. Applications should be addressed to: Professor David W. Miller, Chair, Faculty Search Committee, MIT Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Applications will be considered complete when both the applicant materials and at least three letters of recommendation are received. Applicants are encouraged to apply by January 1, 2010. POSTDOCTORAL ASSOCIATE(s): Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, atmospheric modeling, to study the impact of aviation on air quality and/or climate change. The successful applicant(s) will join a team of engineers and scientists with a track record of informing national and international aviation environmental policy. The goal of the position(s) will be to apply advanced atmospheric modeling systems to create knowledge and develop analysis tools related to the air quality and/or climate impacts of aviation. The successful applicant(s) will be expected to work in a highly collaborative environment with MIT faculty, research staff and students, and engage on a regular basis with FAA Office of Environment and Energy program managers and collaborators (see http://www.partner.aero). Responsibilities include writing manuscripts for publication in scholarly journals, developing and maintaining atmospheric modeling systems and guiding graduate students in their use, conducting original high impact research into the air quality and/or climate impacts on aviation, and assisting in research group management and student advising. REQUIREMENTS: PhD (expected or obtained) in atmospheric modeling at any scale as applied to air quality and/or climate change studies. Experience in modeling the atmospheric impacts of aircraft and other transportation emissions would be a plus. MIT is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer.
