Career Openings in the School of AE
Space Systems and Technology
The Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology invites applicants and nominations for one or more tenure-track faculty positions in space systems and technology beginning in August 2012. Research fields of interest include: astrodynamics, space mission design and navigation, spacecraft controls and dynamics, space robotics, space structures, space propulsion, and space systems engineering. Research programs with application to Earth science, space transportation, orbital operations, or robotic/human exploration are sought. Spaceflight hardware and/or mission operations experience is strongly desired. Candidates must have a strong commitment to teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels and be capable of developing an externally funded research program. Applicants are invited at all ranks. Salary and rank will be commensurate with qualifications. An earned doctorate in aerospace engineering or a related field is required. Selected candidates are expected to interact closely with Georgia Tech faculty in the Schools of Aerospace Engineering, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, and Electrical and Computer Engineering as well as the technical staff of the Georgia Tech Research Institute in developing leading space systems and technology educational and research programs.
Interested candidates should submit a letter that provides a summary of professional, research, and teaching interests, a curriculum vitae, and names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses of four professional references to:
