[James Yoder]

Dear Colleagues,

The Department of Ocean Engineering at the University of Rhode Island is 
inviting applications for a tenure track assistant professor 
specializing in autonomy and marine robotic systems.  The first deadline 
for receipt of applications is February 12th. See the position listing 
below for details on how to apply, or go to 
https://jobs.uri.edu/postings/1045.

This is an exciting time to join the Department of Ocean Engineering at 
URI, which marks its 50th anniversary next year. We have recently hired 
three new assistant professors, and we are currently searching for two 
more.  We now have eight tenure track faculty and three research 
faculty. Our student enrollment is up to 140 undergraduates and 40 
graduate students, and the voters of Rhode Island approved a $125 
million bond issue this year to build a new complex for the College of 
Engineering.

I would greatly appreciate it if you would forward this announcement on 
to recent, or soon to be, PhD graduates and post-docs.  Please direct 
any questions regarding the position or the hiring process to me at 
slicht at egr.uri.edu <mailto:slicht at egr.uri.edu>. This position is paired 
with a similar faculty position in autonomous systems currently open in 
the Graduate School of Oceanography (GSO).  The GSO position can be 
found here: https://jobs.uri.edu/postings/1032.

Best Regards,

Stephen Licht
Search Committee Chair
Assistant Professor of Ocean Engineering
