The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara invites applications from exceptional individuals for a full-time faculty position at the tenure-track Assistant Teaching Professor level, with an anticipated start date of July 1, 2025 or later. This position is intended for an innovative individual with an enthusiasm for, and breadth of knowledge in, mechanical design and its emerging applications in diverse fields. A successful applicant should be committed to teaching and mentoring undergraduates, to improving the undergraduate mechanical engineering program, and to recruiting talented and diverse high-school graduates in collaboration with other faculty.
The ideal candidate will engage, excite, and challenge students in problem solving with a combination of design creativity and engineering analysis. Teaching assignments may include topics from the following list: machine elements, machine design, mechatronics, electronics for mechanical engineers, robotics, design process, design for manufacturing, teamwork, project planning, creative thinking, CAM, and CAD. Consequently, the ideal candidate should be interested and experienced in teaching in different educational settings - from small, project-oriented, inquiry-based classes to larger, more traditional, lecture-oriented classes. The teaching load is 2 courses per quarter with possible load reduction for administrative service. Service will begin with the 2025-26 academic year.
The department is especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the excellence and diversity of the academic community through research, teaching, and service. UCSB has been designated as a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) and an Asian American Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institution (AANAPISI) by the US Department of Education.
