JPF04986 Tenure Track Position Mechanical Engineering
As part of a major expansion, the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department in the Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science at UCLA is conducting a search for faculty candidates in disciplines related to mechanical engineering with emphasis on sustainability and on controls. Areas of particularly high interest in sustainability include: food, water, energy (including nuclear fusion), and ocean/marine engineering. Focus areas in controls include, but are not limited to: networked systems, autonomous systems, nonlinear and uncertain systems, and related mathematical or data science approaches and methods. Our hiring priorities focus on the frontiers of mechanical engineering research and the demonstrated potential for building a strong program of high impact and originality. We are interested in outstanding candidates who are committed to excellence in teaching and scholarship and to contributing positively to a diverse campus climate.
These positions require a Ph.D. or equivalent in engineering or a closely related discipline at date of hire.
UCLA is a dynamic urban university with a strong commitment to collaborative excellence and engaged in numerous research collaborations, both within the Engineering school and with a spectrum of departments and programs at UCLA (including the Medical and Dental Schools a short campus walk away), across the UC system, with other universities, and across industrial sectors.

UCLA is a public research university located in the Westwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. It was founded in 1919 and is the second oldest of the ten campuses affiliated with the University of California system. UCLA offers over 300 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in a wide range of disciplines and enrolls about 26,000 undergraduate and about 12,000 graduate students from the United States and around the world every year.
UCLA features the College of Letters and Science, seven general campus professional schools, and four professional schools for the health sciences. The UCLA College of Letters and Science has 34 academic departments and 900 faculty, and houses the majority of UCLA's 129 undergraduate majors as well as the students in the Graduate Division of Letters and Sciences. The UCLA College Honors Program is also housed in the College. The College of Letters and Science's programs are divided into five academic divisions: humanities, social sciences, life sciences, physical sciences, and the International Institute. UCLA also offers certificate programs, undergraduate degree-credit and continuing education credits for non-full-time students through its UCLA Extension education program.
The 2010 edition of U.S. News & World Report ranked UCLA as the 24th best university in the nation and 32nd best in the world. In the 2007 edition of U.S. News and World Report, UCLA Medical Center was ranked best in the West, as well as one of the top 3 hospitals in the United States alongside Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Johns Hopkins Hospital. In 15 of the 16 medical specialty areas examined, UCLA Medical Center ranked in the top 20.
The campus' location in Los Angeles makes excursions to local museums, theaters, or other entertainment venues relatively quick and easy.
