apply.interfolio.com/175773 General Description

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University invites applications for tenure-track faculty positions to lead the transformation of mechanical engineering through data science (DS) and artificial intelligence (AI). We seek scholars who advance the field through foundational contributions to DS and AI, as well as applying these methods to address grand challenges in mechanical engineering. Candidates may push the boundaries of deep expertise in DS/AI intersecting with core mechanical engineering domains, including fluid dynamics, mechanics and materials, dynamics and controls, robotics, biomechanics, energy systems, space engineering, planetary health, and climate resilience. Examples of DS/AI‑centric research thrusts of interest to Mechanical Engineering include, but are not limited to: AI‑accelerated modeling and simulation for multiphysics and multiscale problems Physics‑informed and hybrid learning for reduced‑order and surrogate models Uncertainty quantification, verification and validation, and risk‑aware decision‑making Learning‑enabled estimation, planning, and control for autonomous and human‑in‑the‑loop systems Digital twins and lifecycle analytics for complex engineered systems Data‑centric engineering, including sensing, data assimilation, experimental design, and streaming analytics Generative and inverse design with autonomous design exploration Edge and embedded AI for real‑time inference and control Foundations of trustworthy, robust, and interpretable AI for engineering decision‑making Agentic and agent‑based approaches Computer vision Natural language processing DS/AI for resilience, sustainability, and planetary health Johns Hopkins University has made a landmark investment in data science and artificial intelligence by establishing the Johns Hopkins Data Science and AI Institute (DSAI Institute). The Whiting School of Engineering is adding ~150 new faculty members over the next few years and deploying unparalleled computational infrastructure to support cutting‑edge research. Faculty in the Department of Mechanical Engineering will play a vital role in this vision, engaging across disciplines, accessing exceptional resources, and shaping the future of data science and AI in engineering. Qualifications

PhD in Mechanical Engineering or a related field by the start date. A record of research excellence and a clear vision for an independent, collaborative program in DS/AI for Mechanical Engineering. Commitment to high‑quality teaching, mentoring, and inclusive excellence. Application Instructions
