The research groups of Prof. Chad Landis and Prof. Fabrizio Bisetti at the University of Texas at Austin are engaged in funded research on modeling and simulation of the response of Ceramic Matrix Composite (CMC) materials to high-speed flows.

A postdoctoral fellow position on this topic is available starting immediately. The appointment is yearly and renewable for up to 3 years based on performance and availability of funding. The salary is between $65,000 and $75,000 per year, depending on qualifications and experience. Benefits include health, dental, and vision insurance, and relocation allowance.

The postdoctoral fellow will be responsible for (i) formulating a mathematical model for the external heat and mass transport in the boundary layer, radiative heat transfer at the surface of the CMC, and thermal conduction in the anisotropic material, (ii) formulating mathematical models for the structural response and failure of the CMC,

Professional Track Teaching Faculty Position in Structural Engineering

POSITION SPECIFICS
Professional Track Teaching Faculty Position in Structural Engineering

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) at The Pennsylvania State University invites applications for a full-time, professional track (non-tenure line), teaching faculty or Professor of Practice position in structural engineering. The successful candidate will teach undergraduate and graduate courses, advise students, and contribute to the department through service and committee work.

Preference will be given to applicants with significant industry- and/or design-related U.S. experience and those who hold, or are expected to hold by the time of the appointment, a Doctoral degree in civil engineering, or a closely related field. Engineers with a M.S. degree and significant relevant industry experience are also invited to apply and will be considered for a Professor of Practice position. Candidates should be, or intend to be, licensed as a professional engineer (P.E.)

The U.S. National Science Foundation is investing approximately $30 million in institutions across Montana, Idaho and Louisiana to establish NSF EPSCoR Centers of Research Excellence in Science and Technology (NSF EPSCoR CREST Centers). These centers aim to expand STEM knowledge, enhance research productivity and attract more students from those regions into STEM fields.

Montana

Montana Technological University will establish the Center for Energy Technologies, a research hub focusing on energy systems. The researchers aim to develop tools that can be deployed locally to convert biomass, like beetle-killed trees, into biochar and renewable energy, such as heat and electricity.

Idaho

Boise State University will launch the Center for Advancing Workforce Experience through Semiconductors, Outreach, and Mentoring Excellence. The center aims to transform education at the university by integrating semiconductor science into classroom experiences.

Louisiana

Louisiana State University (LSU) Health Sciences Center New Orleans will establish the Center for Adaptive Nanomotor Development, combining nanomotor research with workforce development to encourage the development of critical technologies in molecular design, energy transduction and motor proteins.

Additionally, LSU Health Sciences Center Shreveport will establish the Center for Post-Transcriptional Regulation — an innovative, interdisciplinary research center focusing on how cells regulate metabolism through post-transcriptional processes. The work will explore the role of RNA molecules and protein modifications in metabolic control, potentially paving the way for biotechnological innovations and translational applications.

“These new centers are an important way to
