Asst Professor

Welcome to the University of North Texas System, or UNT World as we like to call ourselves. UNT World includes the University of North Texas in Denton, the University of North Texas at Dallas and the University of North Texas Health Science Center in Fort Worth. We are the only university system based exclusively in the robust Dallas-Fort Worth region and we are committed to transforming lives and creating economic opportunity through education. Over the past decade, combined UNTS enrollment has grown by more than 25 percent to nearly 44,000 students.

The department of Mechanical Engineering provides a BS in Mechanical and Energy Engineering which prepares students for a career in the ever-growing fields of energy and sustainability. Undergraduates who choose to pursue a bachelor’s degree in mechanical and energy engineering will combine fundamentals of mechanical engineering with a broad specialization on subjects related to energy production, management, and distribution. For graduate students, our programs will offer opportunities to learn fundamental and applied knowledge compatible with mechanical engineering, renewable energy, energy modelling, manufacturing, and fossil fuels.

The department also offers engineering technology programs that are based on applications of technology to solve engineering problems. You have Construction Engineering Technology, Mechanical Engineering Technology or Engineering Management to choose from. These programs introduce experiential learning activities in virtually every course, and emphasize hands-on laboratory activities with fewer instances requiring the abstract manipulation of mathematics. ETEC graduates are in high demand and work side-by-side with other engineering graduates in a variety of technical fields. Students can also pursue MS in Engineering Technology degree.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering (ME) at the University of North Texas (UNT) has identified engineering mechanics, advanced manufacturing, sensors, and autonomous systems as strategic areas for growth and prominence. The Department is seeking to hire a tenure-track faculty at the rank of Assistant Professor. Applications are particularly invited from candidates whose research interests fall in the strategic areas listed above. The position is to start on or before the Fall semester of 2021. Applicants for the position must have a demonstrated record of excellence in, and show exceptional promise for, high-quality research, teaching, and professional development.
