FACULTY POSITION IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

Position Description:

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at McGill University invites applications for one tenure-track position in Mechanical Engineering, preferably at the Assistant Professor level.

The Department seeks candidates whose research advances the dynamics, control, and autonomy of aerospace systems, with particular interest in unmanned/autonomous aerial vehicles or space systems engineering.

We are particularly interested in candidates working in areas including, but are not limited to, guidance, navigation, and control (GNC), autonomous systems, flight dynamics, and spacecraft dynamics. Examples may include autonomous navigation, multi-agent or cooperative systems, intelligent and resilient autonomy, launch vehicle dynamics and control, proximity operations and on-orbit servicing, and experimental or hardware-in-the-loop validation.

Candidates whose work bridges these areas or integrates emerging approaches such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, perception, or data-driven methods within aerospace systems are also encouraged to apply.

The Department is committed to

In-brief analysis

October 19, 2026

Data source: Omdia
Note: 1Q16=first quarter 2016; 3Q26=third quarter 2026

In the third quarter of 2026 (3Q26), 23% of new light-duty vehicles sold in the United States were hybrid electric, battery electric, or plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, down slightly from 24% in 3Q25. Between 3Q25 and 3Q26, hybrid electric vehicles continued to gain market share, reaching 16% of light-duty vehicle sales. Growth of hybrid electric vehicle sales has slowed this quarter as the average transaction price for a new vehicle passed $50,000—the first time this price has been reached so far this year, according to Kelley Blue Book.

The market shares of battery electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles decreased over the same period, according to estimates from Omdia. In 3Q26, battery electric vehicle sales were 6% of new
