Open Rank Tenure Track Faculty Positions - Nuclear Engineering and Physics

General Summary of Position:

The University of Massachusetts Lowell (UMass Lowell) invites applications for two full-time, open-rank, tenure-track/tenured faculty positions beginning in September 2026. One position is in Nuclear Engineering and the other in Physics and Applied Physics, reflecting a coordinated hire spanning the Francis College of Engineering (FCOE) and the Kennedy College of Sciences (KCS). This joint search is designed to strengthen cross-college collaboration in advanced nuclear energy, fusion, and related emerging technologies.

We seek collaborative scholars whose work advances nuclear engineering, nuclear science, fission and fusion energy systems, or related emerging fields.

Priority areas include AI/ML method development for multiphysics modeling and simulation; the nuclear fuel cycle; reactor safety; advanced sensing, diagnostics, and measurement systems; nuclear medicine; radiation health physics; nuclear fission and fusion material...
