Research Associate Professor
|
Blacksburg, Virginia
|
|
| Virginia Tech’s Systems Software Research Group welcomes applications for a Research Associate Professor (non-tenure track). Lead groundbreaking research in program analysis and formal verification to build trustworthy tools for safety and security. Explore areas like scalable analysis, verified OS extensions, automated vulnerability reasoning, and provable security patching—all within a collaborative, innovative environment. |

Faculty Position in Materials in Nuclear Environments
|
Blacksburg, Virginia
|
|
| The Department of Mechanical Engineering at Virginia Tech invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position (assistant/associate/full) in advanced materials and material behavior in nuclear environments, starting August 2026, to contribute to our growth in nuclear engineering. We seek candidates with expertise in advanced materials for applications with nuclear exposure (power, medical, space) including components, structural materials and electronics, as well as those exploring novel nuclear fuels. Research can be computational and/or experimental to support investigations that assess material limitations and identify potential improvements to reactor design feasibility and operational longevity, both of which impact reactor performance, safety, and sustainability. In the Commonwealth of Virginia, there is significant interest in nuclear energy to meet the growing power demands of data centers and in supporting nuclear applications in the military. Candidates with experience in next generation of power reactors (small modular reactors, fusion, etc.) are highly encouraged to apply. The successful candidate will have broad strengths in the fundamental aspects of mechanical and nuclear engineering and will contribute to a large, collegial, interdisciplinary, and thriving department with a strong tradition of fundamental and applied research. |

Faculty Position in Experimental Fluid Mechanics
|
Blacksburg, Virginia
|
|
| The Department of Mechanical Engineering at Virginia Tech seeks applications for a tenure-track faculty position (assistant/associate) in the area of advanced experimental techniques in fluid mechanics, effective August 2026. We seek candidates with experience in a broad range of fundamental and applied studies. Areas of specific interest are, but not limited to, laser diagnostic techniques and other imaging techniques for measuring flow field details such as velocity, structure, species, and temperature. Candidates with expertise in creative measurement techniques for unique applications that may arise with collaborators across the department and college are encouraged to apply. The successful candidate will collaborate with our current theoretical and computational faculty across a broad range of research areas. We are interested in an experimentalist who can develop large datasets in support of emerging artificial intelligence and machine learning driven advances in fluid dynamics. We seek candidates motivated to contribute to a large collegial, interdisciplinary, and thriving Mechanical Engineering Department with a strong tradition of fundamental and applied research. |
