George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical
Engineering
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.

Delft
University of Technology
Chair of Engineering Systems Foundations
Delft
University of Technology (TU Delft)
is a multifaceted institution offering education
and carrying out research in the technical
sciences at an internationally recognised
level. Education, research, and designs
are strongly oriented towards social applicability.
TU Delft develops technologies for future

the section of Systems Engineering. In line
with the established knowledge position
of the section, a new chair (Systems and
Simulation) was recently installed to cover
the area of Simulation Modeling. In addition,
however, the Faculty of TPM aims at securing
a leading position in the emerging discipline
of engineering systems design. Therefore,
the Faculty has an opening for the chair
of “Engineering Systems Foundations”.
The

Delft
University of Technology
Junior Faculty Position
Department of Technology, Policy and Management
Delft
University of Technology is the largest
and oldest technological university in The
Netherlands. The faculty of Technology,
Policy and Management (TPM) concentrates
on research and teaching at the interface
of technology and the social sciences. The
faculty offers a B Sc and a M Sc programme
in Systems Engineering, Policy Analysis
and Management; a M SC in Engineering and
Policy Analysis, and a M Sc in Management
of Technology. Faculty research is organised
into a number of research programmes, including
a programme on Multi-Actor Systems, and
a programme on Design and Management of
Infrastructures. The faculty core mission
is to contribute, through research and education,
to the resolution of complex problems in
which technological and social complexity
cannot be dealt with separately. The field
of (public) infrastructures provides a core
area of attention.
The
Policy Analysis section
is part of the TPM Faculty. The research
and teaching activities of the section focus
on the support of decision-making processes
that involve multiple actors with (partially)
opposing interests, in which technology
plays an important role. Areas of application
are Water Management, Land Use, Energy,
and Transport, among others. The Policy
Analysis section focuses on development,
application and evaluation of working procedures,
methods and techniques to support these
processes. While we find inspiration in
traditional policy analysis rooted in systems
analysis and operations research, a major
ambition of our research is adapt and extend
traditional methods, and develop new ones,
suitable for multi-actor contexts, taking
account of the lessons of the policy sciences.
Current research themes include dealing
with uncertainties, methods for actor- and
network-analysis, and designing policy analytical
support. The research conducted by the section
is part of the faculty research program,
Multi-Actor Systems.
There
is a vacancy in the Policy Analysis section
for a:
Assistant
Professor (M/F) (1,0fte)
The
position:
Your duties include both teaching and conducting
research in the area of policy analysis.
You contribute to the ongoing research into
one or more of the focus areas of the section:
the design of policy analytical support,
development and evaluation of actor and
network analysis methods, and dealing with
uncertainties, and publish articles on these
subjects in international scientific journals.
Depending on your experience, we also expect
contributions to the acquisition of externally
funded research projects and to the supervision
of junior researchers.
Your
background:
You have a strong analytical and preferably
quantitative background and orientation.
You have a PhD degree and preferably have
experience with teaching at the university
level in the area of policy analysis or
a directly related field. You have experience
in publishing internationally and with setting
up independent research. You have the ambition
to further develop academically and you
possess the broad-mindedness needed to look
across disciplinary boundaries. You are
creative and have excellent written and
verbal communication skills. You are fluent
in spoken and written English.
We
offer:
A position that gives you the opportunity
to further develop your academic career.
We are currently offering an initial temporary
contract for one year, with the prospect
of converting this into a permanent contract
based on good performance. The salary is
based on scale 11 (between € 2,976
and € 4,075) or scale 12 (between €
3,607 and € 4,631), depending on your
qualifications and experience. Salary and
other employment benefits are based on the
CAO for Dutch Universities.
Information
