Open Positions

The Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering (MME) at the University of Cincinnati currently has three Open Rank Faculty Searches in the Mechanical Engineering and Industrial & Systems Engineering programs.


The Industrial & Systems Engineering Program invites applications for one full-time tenure-track faculty position in the Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE). Candidates in a broad range of Industrial and Systems Engineering will be considered, including but not limited to, data science, operations research, optimization, industry 4.0/5.0, augmented intelligence, healthcare systems, safety/ergonomics, and supply chain management.


The Mechanical Engineering Program invites applications for multiple full-time tenure-track faculty positions at the Assistant, Associate, and Full Professors rank. Candidates in four broad areas in mechanical engineering will be considered: (1) Mechanics - including, but not limited to, computational mechanics, theoretical and applied mechanics, modeling of materials behaviors such as fracture, fatigue, and plasticity, biomechanics, mechanics of soft systems, and machine learning and other data-driven approaches. (2) Vibrations and Acoustics - including, but not limited to vibration control, metamaterials and metasurfaces, nonlinear dynamics, vibrations of rotating structures, MEMS/NEMS, vibration-based health monitoring, vibro-acoustics, biomedical acoustics and wearable ultrasound, thermos-acoustics, acoustic sensing, aeroacoustics, and advanced noise control technologies. (3) Manufacturing - including, but not limited to, digital manufacturing, sustainable manufacturing, additive manufacturing, electronics and semiconductor manufacturing, biomanufacturing, and energy technology manufacturing. (4) Energy – including, but not limited to, thermal-fluids science, energy conversion and storage, battery materials and processes, carbon capture, hydrogen technology, and fuel cells.


The Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering invites applications for one non-tenure track position at the level of an Assistant or Associate Professor – Educator to support the educational mission of its Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE) Program. A broad and diverse spectrum of candidates is sought; women, members of underrepresented groups, and persons with disabilities are strongly encouraged. Rank and salary will be negotiated commensurate with the candidate's qualifications. Candidates in a broad range of Industrial and Systems Engineering will be considered.
