Department Overview:

The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering is one of the largest departments in the College of Engineering at The Ohio State University.  We are the home to nearly 80 faculty and over 35 dedicated staff members. Approximately 1900 undergraduates are pursuing a degree in either Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering through rigorous programs that feature hands-on, project-based learning. Nearly 300 graduate students are seeking a degree in either Mechanical, Aerospace, or Nuclear Engineering. Our innovative and creative faculty adhere to the philosophy that true innovation depends upon the cooperation of academia, industry, and government working together to advance the goals of science and technology. Our students and faculty regularly collaborate with colleagues in other departments in the College of Engineering and with multiple other colleges across campus. Strong research relationships exist with the Air Force Research Laboratory, NASA Glenn Research Center, GE Aviation, Honda of America, and numerous other industrial partners. Department faculty have over $26 million in sponsored research expenditures in areas such as advanced transportation systems (automotive and aerospace), energy and environmental quality, materials and manufacturing, micro- and nanotechnology, nuclear energy, and bioengineering while providing leadership for the Center for Automotive Research, The NSF IUCRC Smart Vehicle Concepts Center, the Aerospace Research Center, the Simulation Innovation and Modeling Center, and the Nuclear Reactor Laboratory.

TIU/Position Overview:

The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in the interdisciplinary fields of nonequilibrium hypersonic flows, high-enthalpy reacting flows, low-temperature plasmas, and advanced laser diagnostics. The successful candidate is expected to augment the experimental capabilities of the Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics Laboratories, develop a highly visible research program, and expand the collaboration with the Aerospace Research Center, Turbulence and Combustion Research Laboratory, and High-Fidelity Computational Multi-Physics Laboratory. Forging collaboration with the research groups in the fields of Physical Chemistry (Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry) and Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics (Department of Physics) is of particular importance. The successful candidate will teach a range of undergraduate and graduate courses in the areas of thermofluids and optical diagnostics, and mentor students in Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering and potentially other graduate programs.

Required Qualifications:

Applicants are required to hold a doctoral degree in aerospace or mechanical engineering, or in a closely related field, or have equivalent experience. 

Desired Qualifications:

  • Experimental research in nonequilibrium reacting flows, low-temperature plasmas, and advanced laser diagnostics, with applications to aerothermodynamics, combustion, propulsion, and plasma chemistry

  • Creating synergy and developing cross-field collaboration in the emerging high-impact research fields

  • Potential for, or the evidence of, the ability to secure federal support for innovative research.

  • A commitment to interdisciplinary education and collaborative research

  • A track-record of, and strong commitment to, cultivating an equitable, diverse, and inclusive environment, including in faculty and staff development, hiring, and student recruitment
