Tenure-Track Faculty Position in Remote Sensing Technology

The Smead Aerospace Engineering Sciences (AES) Department in the College of Engineering and Applied Science (CEAS) at the University of Colorado Boulder is currently seeking applications for a tenure-track faculty position in the area of Remote Sensing Technology. The opening is targeted at the level of Assistant Professor, but experienced candidates with outstanding credentials will be considered for an Associate or Full Professor appointment. CU Boulder has a highly ranked engineering college with several top 10 programs, including Aerospace Engineering Sciences. The department has an active remote and in-situ sensing research program as part of its CCAR research center (https://www.colorado.edu/ccar ).

Remote sensing is a multidisciplinary field that bridges engineering with the applied sciences. Candidates are expected to conduct research that advances this multidisciplinary field. Examples of possible research aligned with department interests include developing new remote (or in-situ) sensing systems, exploiting remote sensing capabilities from the ground/air/ space for Earth, Space, or Planetary science, innovating data analysis and modeling approaches that use remote sensing data or inform the development of new remote sensing technology. The department has active research programs in a variety of aerospace topics that align with remote sensing, such as the development of aerospace vehicles which serve as platforms for remote sensing instrumentation (for example, cubesats / smallsats: visit https://www.colorado.edu/aerospace/research/cu-boulder-cubesats  and UAS: visit https://www.colorado.edu/recuv/ ). Candidates whose expertise cuts across engineering and related disciplines, including data science, are encouraged to apply.

Application materials will not be accepted via email. For consideration, applications must be submitted through CU Boulder Jobs  for job requisition number: 42978. For details, please see https://jobs.colorado.edu/jobs/JobDetail/?jobId=42978
