We are specifically looking for someone with a background in topics such
as formal methods, or software challenges in aerospace (broadly defined,
and including verification, logic, languages, and type theory). It is
important that the application area be in Aerospace, but a PhD in
Computer Science, for example, would qualify an applicant for the
position. (I have a PhD in theoretical computer science and I work for
this Aerospace Engineering department, for example; I'm on the hiring
committee because they would like to hire another person in a related
area.) I tried to make that explicit in my original post but it seems
there was still a question. Thanks to the list moderator for asking for
clarification.
Cheers,
Kristin

with other active research programs in the university, both within and
outside the College of Engineering, while taking advantage of the

Applications Center (VRAC, vrac.iastate.edu), and Ames Lab

An earned Ph.D. or equivalent terminal degree in Aerospace Engineering
or a closely related field (CS, ECE, etc.) is required at the start date
of employment. Candidates are required to have credentials commensurate
with teaching undergraduate and graduate classes in engineering.
Candidates at the level of Associate or Full Professor must, in addition
to the above, demonstrate a strong record as evidenced by a quality
research program, publications, professional recognitions, and scholarly
impact.

------------------------------------
Expertise in one or more research areas under the broad area of
“Intelligent Systems and Autonomy” which includes for example software
challenges in aerospace; remote sensing/intelligent sensor fusion;
formal methods; autonomous control; automated crop monitoring; and/or
classical areas of guidance, navigation, and control of both manned and
unmanned vehicles in both air and space. Experience in university-level
teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Experience in
supervising research of graduate and undergraduate students. Experience
in writing, submitting, and administration of research proposals for
state, federal, non-profit, and/or industrial sponsors.
