The Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at
Stanford University invites applications for a tenure
track faculty position at the Assistant or untenured
Associate Professor level. We will also consider
senior candidates with outstanding research and
teaching track records.

Candidates whose research programs in Aeronautics

Research advances in the fundamental areas of
aerospace engineering are critical for future air
and space transportation systems that will provide
efficiency, safety, and security, while protecting the
environment. We are seeking exceptional applicants
who will develop a program of high-impact research,
contribute to an innovative undergraduate curriculum,
and develop graduate courses at the frontier of areas
such as aerospace system design, autonomous
vehicle technologies, and breakthroughs in aerospace
propulsion concepts. We will place higher priority on
the impact, originality, and promise of the candidate's
work than on the particular sub-area of specialization
within Aeronautics and Astronautics.

All candidates should apply online at https://
