- Research Scientist I, II or III - OPEN POOL
Full details Position Summary
The department accepts applications on an ongoing basis from individuals who are interested in obtaining research positions with the department. The open position may be a temporary or special Research Scientist (Level I, II, or III) assignment and may be for limited periods of time. This is an open pool, and applications will be forwarded to open positions as they become available.
- College of Engineering (Dean's Office)
- Assistant/Associate Teaching Professor (CCAF) - Open Pool
Full details Position Summary
The Walter Scott, Jr. College of Engineering at Colorado State University invites dynamic and innovative educators to apply for non-tenure track faculty positions that may become available as we launch our Common First year Engineering program. These positions will be primarily responsible for teaching foundational courses in the first-year curriculum, including courses in engineering fundamentals and engineering for grand challenges.
Applications will be reviewed when a vacancy occurs and applicants will be contacted only if a suitable position becomes available. The selected candidate will be assigned the non-tenure track rank of either Assistant Teaching Professor or Associate Teaching Professor based on their experience.
- Mechanical Engineering
- Postdoctoral Research Fellow - Advanced Laser Diagnostics - Open Pool
Full details Position Summary
The Center for Laser Sensing and Diagnostics (Yalin group) at Colorado State University is, on an ongoing basis, seeking highly skilled, motivated, and independent Postdoctoral Fellows to contribute laser diagnostic expertise to our group’s research efforts. We are looking for candidates who can support one or more projects in broad areas of advanced propulsion and/or hydrogen emissions monitoring.
Research on the advanced propulsion side is oriented at developing and applying new laser diagnostics to electric propulsion (EP) systems with emphasis on detailed, spatially- and temporally- resolved, species-specific measurements. A new effort, to be funded by the USSF, seeks to examine operation of EP devices on molecular propellants. A key step will be to develop novel Doppler-based LIF diagnostics for measuring ion velocities (IVDFs) of relevant ionic species in these systems. For the molecular propellants it will also be important to measure rotationally- and vibrationally- resolved species populations.
Our effort on measuring atmospheric hydrogen emissions are in support of the burgeoning hydrogen economy and will be supported by ARPA-E H2Sense program. The approach, for sensitive and quantitative measurements, is to use the Photoacoustic Stimulated Raman Spectroscopy (PARS) method. Research tasks will include design, development and optimization of the full PARS system including a Raman cell pumping scheme, a photoacoustic cavity, and an optical multi-pass cell (around the PA cavity) to increase signal levels. The PARS sensor will be developed and tested for real-world outdoor usage with an eye to developing a commercial product.
We seek post-doctoral fellows who can contribute to one or both of the above projects. The postdoctoral fellows will also be expected to produce high-quality research and present their work at conferences and via peer-reviewed publications.
Positions may become available throughout the year. Ranking and qualification within the levels are done on a case-by-case basis with factors that include the complexity of research and specialized skills. Annual terms and reappointment may depend on performance and/or continued availability of funding.
- Research Scientist I
Full details Position Summary
The Center for Energy Development and Health (CEDH) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Walter Scott, Jr. College of Engineering (WSCOE) at Colorado State University (CSU) is seeking a Research Scientist. The project will include data science for large datasets and development of machine learning models for smoke forecasting. The selected individual will work in a multidisciplinary environment at the intersection of engineering, atmospheric science, statistics, and environmental health with a focus on air quality modeling, exposure science, and aerosol physics and chemistry.
