Assistant Professor in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. Preserve all substantive info. We need to parse posting details. Key info: - Job Title: Assistant Professor in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (not heading) - Department: Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (8H700:Mechanical Engineering) - Work Location: Lexington, KY - Type of Position: Faculty Position - Time Status: Full-Time - Tenure Track Status: Tenure Track - Required Education: Ph.D. in mechanical, aerospace, electrical, or computer engineering, or closely related field. - Required Related Experience: expertise in high-speed computational fluid dynamics with interest in turbulence and transitional flows. Also fluid-structure interaction, uncertainty quantification, inference methods. Exceptional candidates at associate- or full-professor level may also be considered. - Job Summary: includes details about department, research funding, etc. - Additional details: Department size, funding, research centers, strategic focus areas, candidate expectations, Lexington rankings, University of Kentucky details, benefits link (but we should not include generic benefits unless specific). The posting mentions "Employment at UK comes with many rewards, focusing on your total well-being and career development, with leadership striving to provide a strong work-life integration. To learn more about these benefits, please visit: https://hr.uky.edu/." This is vague; no specific benefits listed. According to rules, we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It mentions benefits link but not specifics; likely we should not include Benefits section because no concrete benefits listed. - Pay: Not mentioned. No Pay section. - Schedule: Not mentioned (maybe 9-month appointment). Actually "tenure-eligible, 9-month appointment". That's schedule info: 9-month appointment. Could be considered schedule. The rule: include Schedule section only if posting actually states them. It does state "9-month appointment". So we can include Schedule section with that detail. - Responsibilities: The posting includes responsibilities: teaching undergraduate and graduate courses, advising graduate students, building externally funded research program, conducting high-impact research. Also maybe service? Not explicit. We can extract from Job Summary: "Candidates must have a strong record of academic scholarship and high potential for building an externally funded research program, conducting high-impact research, advising graduate students, and teaching undergraduate and graduate courses." That's responsibilities. - Requirements: Education and experience. - Qualifications: maybe same as requirements? Could combine. - Skills: maybe "high-speed computational fluid dynamics, turbulence, transitional flows, fluid-structure interaction, uncertainty quantification, inference methods". Also maybe "research program building, teaching, advising". But we can put skills as bullet list. - About the role: Could be a summary paragraph. We must not duplicate lines. Need to preserve all substantive info; but we can condense into sections without losing info. We must not include application instructions (cover letter, CV, etc.) - remove. We must not include EEO boilerplate etc. We must not include navigation, cookie, legal. We must not include duplicated lines (like repeated sentences). We'll need to deduplicate. Let's extract substantive unique info: - Department: Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, University of Kentucky. - Location: Lexington, KY. - Position type: Faculty, Full-Time, Tenure Track, 9-month appointment. - Rank: Assistant Professor (tenure-eligible), but exceptional candidates at associate/full may be considered. - Required Education: Ph.D. in mechanical, aerospace, electrical, computer engineering, or closely related field. - Required Experience: Expertise in high-speed computational fluid dynamics with interest in turbulence and transitional flows; also fluid-structure interaction, uncertainty quantification, inference methods. - Department details: Largest in Pigman College of Engineering with 41 faculty, >1250 undergrad, >140 grad; offers BS/MS in ME/AE, MS in manufacturing systems; federally funded research from NSF, NIH, NASA, DOE, DOW?, DARPA, FAA, NIST, USDA; externally funded research >$22M/year; houses NASA Kentucky Space Grant and EPSCoR; research centers/consortiums collaborating with industry. - Strategic focus areas: hypersonics and aerodynamics, advanced manufacturing, autonomous systems and AI, biomechanics and biomaterials, sustainable energy. - Candidate expectations: strong record of academic scholarship, high potential for building externally funded research program, conducting high-impact research, advising grad students, teaching undergrad/grad courses. - Lexington rankings: #3 Best City to Raise a Family, #21 Best Places to Live in America, #31 Most Educated City. - University of Kentucky: flagship university, only eight universities with colleges of agriculture, law, business, engineering, medicine, pharmacy on single campus. - Benefits: general statement about rewards, work-life integration, link to HR page (but not specific). We'll not include Benefits section. - Pay: not specified. - Schedule: 9-month appointment. - Responsibilities: building research program, conducting high-impact research, advising grad students, teaching undergrad/grad courses. - Skills/Knowledge: high-speed CFD, turbulence, transitional flows, fluid-structure interaction, uncertainty quantification, inference methods; research program development; teaching; advising. We need to output HTML with headings

for each section we include. Potential sections: About the role (summary), Responsibilities, Requirements (education+experience), Qualifications (maybe same as requirements but we can combine), Skills, Schedule. We must not create empty sections. Let's craft:

About the role

... paragraph summarizing role, department, location, strategic focus, etc.

Responsibilities

• Build an externally funded research program.
• Conduct high-impact research in high-speed computational fluid dynamics, turbulence, transitional flows, fluid‑structure interaction, uncertainty quantification, and inference methods.
• Advise graduate students.
• Teach undergraduate and graduate courses in mechanical and aerospace engineering.

Requirements

• Ph.D. in mechanical, aerospace, electrical, computer engineering, or a closely related field.
• Expertise in high‑speed computational fluid dynamics with interest in turbulence and transitional flows.
• Experience or strong interest in related areas such as fluid‑structure interaction, uncertainty quantification, and inference methods.

Qualifications

Maybe we can note that exceptional candidates at associate or full professor level may also be considered. That's a qualification. So:

Qualifications

• Tenure‑track assistant‑professor level; exceptional candidates at the associate or full professor level may also be considered.

Skills

• High‑speed computational fluid dynamics
• Turbulence and transitional flows
• Fluid‑structure interaction
• Uncertainty quantification
• Inference methods
• Research program development and grant acquisition
• Graduate student advising

Schedule

9‑month appointment (academic year).

We should also include location maybe in About the role. We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we preserve all substantive info: we included department size, funding, strategic focus areas, Lexington rankings, University details. Did we include those? Not yet. We need to include them somewhere, maybe in About the role paragraph. Let's craft About the role paragraph:

The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Kentucky in Lexington, KY seeks a tenure‑track assistant professor to strengthen its hypersonics and aerodynamics research. The department is the largest in the Stanley and Karen Pigman College of Engineering with 41 faculty, over 1,250 undergraduate and over 140 graduate students, offering BS/MS degrees in mechanical and aerospace engineering and a master’s in manufacturing systems engineering. It conducts federally funded research from NSF, NIH, NASA, DOE, DARPA, FAA, NIST, USDA and others, averaging over $22 million per year in new awards, and houses the NASA Kentucky Space Grant and EPSCoR programs along with industry‑collaborating research centers. The department’s strategic focus areas include hypersonics and aerodynamics, advanced manufacturing, autonomous systems and AI, biomechanics and biomaterials, and sustainable energy. Lexington is ranked #3 Best City to Raise a Family, #21 Best Places to Live in America, and #31 Most Educated City. The University of Kentucky is the flagship institution and one of only eight U.S. universities that host colleges of agriculture, law, business, engineering, medicine, and pharmacy on a single campus.

That covers many details. Now ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: The posting also mentions "The Department invites qualified candidates to apply for a tenure-eligible, 9-month appointment (Regular Title Series) faculty position at the assistant-professor level with an anticipated start date of fall 2027." We have schedule (9-month) but not start date. Start date is substantive; maybe we should include in About the role or Schedule. Since start date is a specific detail, we should include it. Could add to About the role: "anticipated start date of fall 2027." Or add to Schedule: "Anticipated start date: fall 2027 (August 1, 2027)." The posting also gave "desired starting date for this position is August 1, 2027." So we should include that. Add to Schedule: "Anticipated start date: August 1, 2027 (fall 2027)." Also mention "Review of applications will begin shortly thereafter and will continue until the position is filled." That's application instruction/process; we should remove as per instruction to remove application instructions. So we omit. Also "Priority application deadline is November 30, 2026." That's also application instruction; remove. Also "Requests for further information regarding application procedures may be directed to ..." remove. Also "Questions for the chair of the search committee can be directed to ..." remove. Also "Applicants should submit a cover letter, a full curriculum vitae, a research statement (3-page limit), a teaching statement (2-page limit), and contact information for 3 professional references." remove. Also "We request that the teaching statement specifically address undergraduate and graduate teaching interests relevant to aerospace and mechanical engineering." remove. Also "Skills / Knowledge / Abilities Does this position have supervisory responsibilities? No" - we could include supervisory responsibilities as part of Skills? It says No supervisory responsibilities. That's substantive. Should we include? It's a fact about the role. Could add a bullet under Skills or Responsibilities: "No supervisory responsibilities." Might be appropriate under Skills or maybe a separate section but we can add to Skills. Also "Preferred Education/Experience Deadline to Apply Open Until Filled Yes" - that's application instruction; remove. Also "Our University Community ..." includes EEO boilerplate; remove. Also "The University follows both the federal and state Constitutions as well as all applicable federal and state laws on nondiscrimination." remove. Also "The University provides equal opportunities..." remove. Also "Any candidate offered a position may be required to pass pre-employment screenings..." remove. Thus final sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Schedule. Check that we didn't miss any substantive info like "Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering is the largest..." we included. "Department offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in mechanical engineering and aerospace engineering, and
