Faculty Jobs
We invite applicants to join our mission to accelerate advances in robotics to the benefit of society.
The construction of a $75M new building to house robotics, with state of the art laboratories, teaching facilities, offices and collaboration space that integrates undergraduate teams into the fabric of daily academic life, is almost complete. We are already running a highly-rated graduate program in robotics. We have a strong faculty and expect to add significantly to it over the coming three years.
Michigan Robotics, in the College of Engineering at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor invites applications for junior or senior faculty positions. Successful candidates will have a relevant doctorate or equivalent experience and an outstanding record of achievement and impactful research in academics, industry and/or at national laboratories. They will have a strong record or commitment to teaching at undergraduate and graduate levels, to providing service to the university and profession and to broadening the intellectual diversity of the College.
Michigan Robotics seeks candidates across all research areas relevant to robotics. Women and underrepresented minorities are encouraged to apply.
The review of applications will begin January 13, 2020, with full consideration given to candidates submitting by then.
Application Process
Tenure lines associated with the open positions reside with the departments in the College of Engineering. Please indicate a preferred “home” department in your cover letter. Successful candidates will have laboratory and office space in the Ford Motor Company Robotics Building, the new home of the Robotics Institute.
While the Robotics Institute will forward its top candidates to the appropriate department(s) for consideration, candidates are encouraged to apply to both Robotics and one or more departments to ensure their applications are seen by the broadest group of faculty. It’s very possible that a department may have needs, separate from the Robotics Institute, for someone with your skillset.
Applications will be considered as they are received. For best results, please apply by January 1.
Questions: Please contact Kimberly Mann.
