The Department of Mechanical Engineering at Virginia Tech seeks applications for a non-tenure track Professor of Practice faculty position (Assistant/Associate) with expertise in advanced manufacturing to support our continual growth in this area and to support the newly established VT MADE center for advanced manufacturing. The position will be effective August 2026.  We seek candidates that have a wide range of experience with additive and subtractive manufacturing processes, robotic systems and their use in advanced manufacturing, material characterization (X-ray CT, mechanical testing, microscopy, etc.), and other relevant processes (welding, forming, etc.). This individual will assist in the coordination of the advanced manufacturing activities within the VT MADE center and will be the lead for an advanced manufacturing experiential learning and research space in our new Mitchell Hall which is currently under construction on the Virginia Tech campus. This will include training and assisting graduate

The U.S. National Science Foundation National Quantum Virtual Laboratory (NSF NQVL) is coming into sharper focus with the selection of the first four teams that will design high-tech infrastructure to be broadly used across the country. NSF is investing $16 million in the four teams, with each receiving $4 million over two years. The NSF NQVL initiative is an ambitious effort to accelerate the development of useful quantum technologies by providing researchers anywhere in the U.S. with access to specialized resources.

The teams selected by NSF will design practical ways to expand access to the hardware and software needed for quantum science, engineering and technology development, which are currently highly bespoke and concentrated in relatively few labs. Among the design projects are plans to create shareable, networked quantum computers that can be used for experimentation from any location and a “digital twin” (a dynamic simulation that changes and responds to inputs) of a quantum computer that can be used by any U.S. researcher to test and refine new quantum algorithms.

“The National Quantum Virtual Laboratory is a critical bridge between basic discovery and deployment, specifically focused on turning America’s leadership in fundamental quantum science into practical technologies, products, and systems that will strengthen our nation’s competitiveness and ensure U.S. dominance in this field for decades to come,” said Brian Stone, performing the duties of
