Tenure-track Faculty Position at all Levels (Assistant, Associate, or Full Profe
Physics World, Palo Alto, California, United States, 94306
The Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Stanford University invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at all levels (Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor). Appointments will be made at a rank commensurate with experience and accomplishment.
Advances in multiple technology areas hold promise to overcome major aerospace engineering challenges including zero-emission, sustainable concepts for future flight, vastly improved, energy-efficient and reusable space access, and safe and trustworthy autonomous systems with AI/ML in the loop. To meet these challenges, we are seeking exceptional applicants who will develop a program of high-impact research and contribute to an innovative undergraduate/graduate curriculum. Special consideration will be given to candidates in the areas of propulsion (broadly interpreted to include conventional aircraft and spacecraft propulsion, electrification, and sustainable aviation fuels), fluid dynamics/aerodynamics, and aircraft design. We will place higher priority on the impact, originality, and promise of the candidate’s work rather than on the particular area of specialization within Aeronautics and Astronautics.
An earned PhD, evidence of the ability to pursue a program of research, and a strong commitment to graduate and undergraduate teaching are required. A successful candidate will be expected to teach courses at both the graduate and undergraduate levels and to build and lead a team of graduate students in PhD research.
All candidates should apply online at

Applications should include a brief research and teaching plan (3-5 pages total for both combined), a detailed resume including a list of publications, and the names and contact information of three to five references. We will request letters of recommendation after candidates are short-listed. The Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, School of Engineering, and Stanford University value faculty who are committed to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion. Candidates may optionally include as part of their research or teaching statement a brief discussion of how their work will further these ideals.
