Cluster Hire in Strategic Engineering
In
2005, George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical
Engineering expanded its academic and research
program to the Georgia Tech Savannah Campus.
The mission of Georgia Tech Savannah is
to create signature programs that complement
those established in Atlanta. Accordingly,
we seek to further the high-impact, interdisciplinary
area of Strategic Engineering by implementing
a "cluster hire" strategy for
up to four tenure-track faculty beginning
Fall 2008.
In
order to respond to globalization and produce
the right kind of engineers for the flat
world, our focus at the Woodruff School
of Mechanical Engineering in Savannah is
on developing strategic engineers. These
are engineers who know how to realize complex
engineered systems for changing markets
in collaborative, globally distributed environments
thereby safeguarding the economic viability
of the companies they represent and hence
fostering the prosperity of our country.

University
of Cambridge and MIT (co-locations)
Postdoctoral Research Position in Environmental
Costs of Aviation
Air
transportation, although vital to both modern
and developing economies, impacts the environment
on both local and global scales. Aircraft
noise impacts communities near the airport
while aircraft emissions impact both communities
near airports as well as the entire planet
via global climate change. Several analysts
have estimated these impacts and valued
them by attributing an economic cost, but
no study has summarized the existing literature
in a comprehensive way. Further, the environmental
costs of aviation need to be put into the
context of the environmental costs of rail,
shipping and road transportation. This will
provide an understanding of how the various
transportation modes impact the environment.
Such understanding is important, as efficient
policy measures that aim at mitigating environmental
impacts need to be based upon a solid and
transparent analysis.
This
study will address these issues and be conducted
jointly at the Institute for Aviation and
the Environment at the University of Cambridge
and the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics
at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The
research project will entail:
-
Undertaking a systematic analysis of the
relevant literature to carefully analyze
and compare methods, underlying assumptions
and results to estimate the environmental
costs of aviation and compare to rail,
shipping and road transportation.
-
Identifying those studies where best practices
have been applied and distilling the important
findings from these.
-
Interfacing with the wider research projects
focussing on aviation and environment
on-going at the University of Cambridge
(www.AIMproject.aero:
the work will support the Regional Economics
aspects) and MIT (www.PARTNER.aero:
the work will be in direct support of
Project 3, Trade-offs and policy options,
and Project 17, Alternative fuels).
The
successful candidate will have a PhD or
equivalent background in environmental economics
or a closely related field with a good understanding
of aviation and other transportation industries.
Preference will be given to candidates with
relevant experience. Flexibility to undertake
part of the work at each institution and
ability to obtain necessary work permissions
for the UK and the US is required. The University
of Cambridge and MIT will share the costs
to support one researcher for 12 months,
who will spend approximately six months
at each institution starting as soon as
possible but not later than September 1,
2007. Salary will be $45,000 or higher depending
on experience.
Qualified
applications should send a cover letter
(detailing suitability for the post) and
a CV/resume (including a list of references)
to Dr. Andreas Schäfer (as601
"at" cam.ac.uk) at the University
of Cambridge and Prof. Ian Waitz (iaw
"at" mit.edu) at MIT. Review
of applications will begin July 2, 2007
and will continue until the position is
filled. The University of Cambridge and
MIT are equal opportunities employers.
