FACULTY POSITIONS IN MOTORSPORTS ENGINEERING

The Program in Motorsports Engineering, Purdue School of Engineering and Technology at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), invites applications for one tenure-track and one non-tenure track faculty position. The mission of this newly established Motorsports Engineering BS program is to train graduates with a solid background in the fundamentals of engineering and with the specialized skills required by the motorsports industry. 

The tenure-track faculty position at IUPUI is expected to reside in the areas of motorsports engineering: specifically in structural mechanics and design. Candidates for this position are expected to establish a strong sponsored research program in focus areas, such as structural mechanics, design, aerodynamics, automotive propulsion, mechatronics, and biomechanics, or other areas that apply to motorsports engineering, as well as develop and teach undergraduate and graduate courses, and advise students. Applicants must hold a Ph.D. degree in mechanical, aerospace, automotive or a closely related engineering field, and demonstrate ability to conduct outstanding research, thorough understanding of the motorsports industry, and potential for excellent teaching.  Exceptional candidates with established research and teaching credentials may be considered for a senior faculty position. 

Candidates for the non-tenure track faculty position (lecturer) must hold a M.S. degree or higher in an engineering field with demonstrated ability to develop and teach a wide range of motorsports engineering courses (e.g. vehicle dynamics, instrumentation and data acquisition), and thorough understanding of the motorsports industry. The faculty will also be expected to advise students, supervise design projects from the motorsports industry, and lead students to participation in racing events. 

Both positions will be available starting August 1, 2009. Interested individuals should apply online at: https://www.et.iupui.edu/apply/index.asp?pos=00033575 with a curriculum vitae including a list of published works, a statement of research and teaching interests, and at least three references. Applicants from the under-represented groups including women, minority groups are especially encouraged to apply. Review of applications will begin January 1, 2009, and will continue until the position is filled. Applications should be addressed to: Chair, Search and Screen Committee, Program in Motorsports Engineering, Purdue School of Engineering and Technology, IUPUI. IUPUI is a growing urban campus with 30,000 students and 200 degree programs.  The Purdue School of Engineering and Technology is one of 22 schools at IUPUI.
