We welcome candidates whose research and teaching address societal challenges, improve accessibility, and foster inclusive solutions that benefit diverse communities. We especially welcome applications at the rank of Assistant Professor, though outstanding candidates at the Associate or Full Professor level are also encouraged to apply.

Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

Infusion of socially responsive and community-focused engineering principles in general engineering and discipline-specific @contexts.

Complex and interconnected human-natural systems, such as food, energy, and water with emphasis on enhancing the security, resilience, and sustainability of such systems within communities.

Integration of societal factors in a systems engineering approach to improve public safety, health, and welfare.

Human-centered design, ergonomics, and accessibility engineering with emphases on empowering full participation of persons with disabilities in our society.

Candidates must have earned a Ph.D. in an engineering field or a closely related discipline at the time of appointment, with an anticipated start date of August 16, 2026. Appointments will be made in the Departments of Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, and/or Mechanical Engineering based on existing strengths and capabilities and the candidate's preferences. Joint appointments with other departments are also possible. This will be a full-time, academic-year appointment in the tenure system, with tenure, if appropriate, at a salary commensurate with the candidate's background and experience. Those who conduct research that broadens access to education and innovation, addresses barriers to participation, or enhances the university's ability to serve communities are of high interest.

The candidate is expected to establish a sustainable, externally funded, and internationally visible research program; make significant scholarly contributions to their discipline; conduct community-engaged research; be an effective teacher and mentor of undergraduate and graduate students; engage in institutional and professional service; and contribute to the university's land-grant mission of access, service, and advancing knowledge for the common good. Candidates are encouraged to describe the potential impacts of their scholarship and how their work might complement existing strengths within the College and across the university. Additional qualifications include strong leadership and interpersonal skills, excellent written and oral communication abilities, a demonstrated capacity to thrive in a collaborative research environment, and a commitment to advancing MSU's land-grant mission of expanding access, opportunity, and excellence.

Successful candidates are expected to collaborate with and build on existing MSU activities focused on developing engineered systems (e.g., buildings, on-site energy generation and storage, water and food systems, transportation) and innovative devices to address multidisciplinary, global problems (e.g., climate resilience, energy, water and food security, public health and safety), with an emphasis on enabling and supporting full participation of communities with limited opportunities.

Additionally, the successful candidate is expected
