* Assistant, Associate, Full Professor Ocean Eng. Energy & Power Systems
The Department of Aerospace and Ocean Engineering requests applications for a tenure-track faculty position in Ocean Engineering Energy and Power Systems. Areas of specific interest for the department include, but are not limited to: renewable ocean energy concepts and systems, ocean vehicle power and energy systems, ship energy conservation, ship power and propulsion systems, ship power distribution and survivability, and marine engineering. The AOE faculty is active in a number of interdisciplinary research centers and groups, including the Virginia Center for Autonomous Systems (www.unmanned.vt.edu). In addition to the extensive computational resources available, the AOE department is home to world-class experimental facilities including a 98 ft long tow tank, high-speed and low-speed wind tunnels and extensive flow diagnostic instrumentation.
While it is expected that this position will be filled at the assistant professor rank, persons nationally recognized for their work in the field may be considered for a more senior position. Responsibilities will include establishing an internationally recognized research program, directing graduate students, and teaching at both the undergraduate and graduate level in our Ocean Engineering program. Courses to be taught may include Marine Engineering, Resistance and Propulsion, and new courses specific to the faculty candidate's expertise.
Responsibilities:
-Teaching undergraduate and graduate coursework in Ocean Engineering in ship power and propulsion and marine engineering -Establishing an internationally recognized research program in Ocean Engineering Energy and Power Systems -Participation in departmental, college, and university committees -Advising and mentoring students -Obtaining external sponsored funding in support of research program
