Faculty Positions in Robotics, Sensors, and Manufacturing
College of Science and Engineering, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities
The University of Minnesota is pleased to announce an initiative on Robotics, Sensors, and
Manufacturing, funded by the State of Minnesota. The initiative will leverage strengths in
research and education in these and related areas at the University, and will expand
collaborations with industry to respond to emerging opportunities. In support of the
initiative, the College of Science and Engineering (CSE) invites applications for multiple
tenure-track and tenured positions in a coordinated recruiting process with CSE academic
departments in engineering, physical and computer sciences, and mathematics, and
collaborating programs outside of CSE in such application areas as health sciences, biology,
and agriculture.
Disciplinary areas of particular interest to this search include, but are not limited to,
robotics and automation, control and dynamical systems, machine learning and
intelligence, image processing and computer vision, neuroengineering, materials, devices
and systems for novel sensing and actuation, and digital manufacturing. Successful
candidates are expected to have strong commitments to cross-disciplinary collaboration in
research and teaching in both undergraduate and graduate levels. These candidates must
actively support the goals of the initiative in impacting the University’s contributions to
such applications as terrestrial and aerial robotics, industrial automation and
manufacturing, surgical robotics and image-guided therapies, medical-assist and wearable
robotic systems, environmental and agricultural robotics, cognition, human-machine and
human augmentation systems. Candidates must hold a PhD at the time of appointment in
an area appropriate for the initiative.
