The Department is rapidly expanding its educational and research profiles to establish aerospace engineering disciplines in the next few years. Sponsored by the Swire Group, we are inviting applications for a Swire Professorship. The successful candidate is expected to lead the Department’s efforts to develop both education and research programs, in particular, the undergraduate major program in aerospace engineering. He/She should be an internationally renowned expert in one or more of the following areas:

• Aerodynamics, aeroelasticity
• Aerospace structures and advanced materials
• Aircraft design
• Aircraft performance and control
• Combustion, gas turbine, propulsion
• Aviation systems

Applicants should have an earned PhD degree in aerospace/aeronautical engineering or related engineering fields, and are expected to have recognized pertinent academic, research and/or industrial experience. The successful candidate is expected to develop strong, independent and innovative research programs and to teach aerospace engineering courses at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Strong commitment to education is a basic requirement. HKUST is committed to increasing the diversity of its faculty and has a range of family-friendly policies in place.

Salary is highly competitive and will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. Generous fringe benefits will be provided where applicable.

Applications together with a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, a statement of teaching and research, the names and addresses of three referees should be sent to the Human Resources Office, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Clear Water Bay, Kowloon, Hong Kong. Review of applications will begin as soon as possible, and continue until the position is filled.
