Mechanical Engineering Open Faculty Position: Robotics and Autonomous System
Dec 06 2024
The Department of Mechanical Engineering at Columbia University welcomes applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant Professor or Associate Professor (without tenure, but on tenure-track) rank in the field of robotics and autonomous systems. Areas of emphasis include but are not limited to, learning and control systems, particularly the intersection of analytical and data-driven modeling, innovative mechanism design, smart materials, and future autonomous systems. Robotics systems of interest range from humanoids and legged robots to drones and vehicles, as well as general automation, locomotion, and manipulation across various application areas. Candidates are also encouraged to consider the intersection of their proposed research areas with departmental- and school-wide initiatives relating to energy and sustainability, biomechanics, nano/micro-technology, engineering and medicine, and artificial intelligence.
