Assistant Professor in Mechanical

JOB REQUIREMENTS: Current Employees: If you are currently employed at any of the Universities of Wisconsin, log in to Workday to apply through the internal application process. Job Category:Faculty Employment Type:Regular Job Profile:Assistant Professor Job Summary: The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Quantum Cryogenics, Thermal Management for Quantum Systems, and Quantum Infrastructure. We seek candidates with a vision to address the engineering challenges of cooling, operating, and scaling quantum systems and to strengthen, broaden and deepen related research in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Interests include but are not limited to: sub-kelvin refrigeration and cryocoolers; low-temperature heat and mass transfer; thermal management of quantum devices and systems; cryogenic materials, components, and instrumentation; and the integration, reliability, and scaling of quantum infrastructure. While both theoretical and applied research is of interest, we are particularly interested in candidates that can articulate a clear vision of how their research will translate from research to practice in the broad context of Mechanical Engineering applications. Research in these areas is anticipated to enable advances in quantum computing, sensing, and communication, where cooling capacity, thermal loads, wiring, vibration, and system reliability present significant engineering challenges. We also welcome research with applications to other cryogenic technologies, including superconducting systems for fusion, space, and medicine. The UW Mechanical Engineering Department has a longstanding strength in cryogenic engineering, grounded in experimental research on refrigeration cycles, low-temperature heat transfer, and thermal systems design. Current work includes sub-kelvin cooling, helium-3/helium-4 mixtures, superfluid transport, magnetic refrigeration, and thermal-management technologies. This expertise is complemented by broader departmental strengths in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, materials, and system integration. The... For full info follow application link.
