About this position

Kansas State University is inviting applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in the Department of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering at the Manhattan, Kansas campus.

The search is focused on energy-related research relevant to mechanical engineering and/or nuclear engineering, with particular interest in candidates whose work is grounded in thermal and fluid sciences. Applicants with strong records in other areas of mechanical engineering may also be considered if they can contribute to the department’s energy mission.

The successful candidate is expected to develop a strong, externally funded research program that complements departmental strengths and supports the university’s broader energy priorities. The department reports approximately 24 faculty members, around $6M in annual research expenditures, and about 850 undergraduate and graduate students.

Minimum requirement: a PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Nuclear Engineering, or a closely related field from an accredited institution. Preferred preparation includes research experience in thermal and fluid sciences and evidence of the ability to build externally funded research.

Funding / compensation: this is a faculty appointment with an anticipated salary range of $96,000–$115,000. The post is not a scholarship or studentship; it is a job opening.

Application deadline: June 15, 2026. Applicants should submit a letter of application, CV, research statement, teaching statement, and contact information for five professional references through the Kansas State University careers page.

Additional notes: the position is on-site, and the university states that employees must be authorized to work in the United States at the time of employment. Sponsorship may be available depending on eligibility and departmental resources.
