The Department of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering at Kansas State
University invites applications for a tenure-track position in the
thermo-fluids area. Thermo-fluids encompasses the Institute for
Environmental Research (IER), the National Gas Machinery Laboratory
(NGML), and the Aircraft Cabin Environmental Research (ACER) Laboratory,
each possessing unique research strengths, along with strong industry and
government financial support. Our strategic focus is on an individual who
would enhance both the computational as well as the experimental program.
Current research includes such areas as building energy utilization,
indoor environmental systems and sustainability, transportation vehicle
environmental systems, nano-based environmental air quality, remediation
of engine exhaust contaminates, and optical measurements and
instrumentation development. The new faculty member is expected to
enhance and complement current research areas in the department, and make
a positive contribution to the quality of the undergraduate and graduate
teaching program. Qualifications include a doctorate in Mechanical
Engineering or related field, a desire to teach at all levels, and an
ability to obtain sustained research funding.

The department has approximately 700 undergraduates, 85 graduate students,
$5.5M/yr external funding, and 22 faculty. Manhattan is a vibrant family
