Open Rank Professor in Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description of department, programs, research culture, new center, invitation for two faculty positions, responsibilities (establish research, teach, mentor, service, collaborate). Requirements: assistant professor and associate/full professor sections. Additional info includes diversity statement, EEO, accommodation, security requirement. We must remove boilerplate like EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove location, category, job type, posted on lines? Those are metadata; we can fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. Probably we can include location etc in a short paragraph at top? The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we can include location etc in a

maybe. But we should not repeat job title as heading. The page already shows it, so we don't need heading for job title. We'll produce sections: About the role (maybe summarizing department and position), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe split into Assistant Professor and Associate/Full Professor), Benefits? Not mentioned. Pay? Not mentioned. Schedule? Not mentioned. So we only include sections with real content: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements. Possibly also Additional Information (diversity statement) but that is boilerplate EEO etc; we should remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The diversity statement is somewhat EEO but it's part of the posting; but instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. So we should drop that. Also accommodation info and security requirement maybe considered boilerplate? The security requirement about maintaining security of infrastructure is specific to the position (Executive Order GA-48). Might be considered substantive? It's a requirement. Could include in Requirements. But it's more like a condition. We'll include it in Requirements as a bullet. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details: department offers ABET-accredited B.S. programs in Aerospace Engineering and Mechanical Engineering, M.S. programs in Aerospace Engineering and Mechanical Engineering, Ph.D. program in Mechanical Engineering, graduate certificate in 3D Engineering and Additive Manufacturing. Enrollment numbers Fall 2025: 1,735 students, including 1,590 undergraduates, 75 master's, 70 doctoral. Active collaborative research culture, strong engagement of graduate students. Faculty have access to extensive research infrastructure and interdisciplinary partnerships, including Aerospace Center, W.M. Keck Center for 3D Innovation, Advanced Manufacturing and Aerospace Center. New approx 93,000-square-foot, $80 million Advanced Manufacturing and Aerospace Center expands labs, teaching spaces, collaboration opportunities in advanced manufacturing, aerospace systems, materials, autonomy, related fields. Department invites applications for two Mechanical Engineering faculty positions beginning Fall 2027. Successful candidates will establish or expand nationally recognized, externally funded research programs; teach effectively at undergraduate and graduate levels; mentor students; contribute to departmental and university service; collaborate across disciplinary boundaries. Candidates in listed primary emphasis areas particularly encouraged but all areas considered. Senior appointment intended for scholar with sustained record of research leadership who can help anchor major collaborative initiatives, mentor junior faculty and students, lead center-scale or multi-investigator proposals for all areas of mechanical engineering; particular interest in autonomy, advanced materials, manufacturing. Assistant professor appointment intended for emerging scholar with compelling research vision and strong potential for externally funded scholarship for all areas of mechanical engineering; particular interest in energy materials, semiconductor materials, advanced manufacturing. Job Requirements: Assistant Professor: earned doctorate in Mechanical Engineering or closely related field by anticipated start date; evidence of research achievement and strong potential to develop externally funded research program; potential for excellence in undergraduate and graduate teaching and student mentoring; commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration and service to department, university, profession. Associate or Full Professor: earned doctorate in Mechanical Engineering or closely related field and qualifications appropriate for appointment at rank of associate or full professor at UTEP; sustained record of nationally or internationally recognized scholarship and externally funded research; demonstrated excellence in teaching, graduate-student mentoring, professional service; evidence of research leadership, collaborative program development, ability to mentor faculty and students. Additional Information: we may keep the statement about access, excellence, impact mission? That's somewhat generic but maybe considered boilerplate. However it's part of the posting's mission statement; but instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. The mission statement is not EEO but still generic. Might be considered filler? It says "In keeping with its access, excellence, and impact mission, The University of Texas at El Paso is committed to an open, diverse, and inclusive learning and working environment that honors the talents, respects the differences, and nurtures the growth and development of all. We seek to attract faculty and staff who share our commitment." This is somewhat generic but still substantive about diversity commitment. Might be considered boilerplate but it's not EEO. However the instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This is not exactly those. Could keep as a short paragraph under "About the role" maybe. But we need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". This is not filler. I'd keep a brief statement about commitment to diversity and inclusion as part of About the role. Also the security requirement: "To the extent that this position involves research, work, or access to critical infrastructure as referenced in Executive Order GA-48, being hired for and continuing to be employed in this position requires the ability to maintain the security or integrity of the infrastructure." This is a requirement; we can include under Requirements as a bullet. Now produce HTML: we need

for section headings. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We'll have:

  Location: El Paso, TX ... maybe combine metadata? But we can drop metadata. Probably better to include a short paragraph with location and date? The instruction says fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it. We'll include a short

  with location and posting date maybe. Then

  About the role

  with paragraph(s) describing department, programs, enrollment, research culture, new center, invitation for two positions, emphasis areas. Then

  Responsibilities

  with
  • items: establish/expand nationally recognized externally funded research programs; teach effectively at undergraduate and graduate levels; mentor students; contribute to departmental and university service; collaborate across disciplinary boundaries. Then

    Requirements

    with maybe two sub-sections? Could use

    but only

    allowed for section headings. We could embed headings inside

    ? But we can use

    for each requirement category? The instruction: use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have multiple

    sections. We could have

    Assistant Professor Requirements

    and

    Associate/Full Professor Requirements

    . That's okay. Under each,
    • list. Add security requirement bullet maybe under a general requirement or under each? It applies to both positions. Could add a separate

      Additional Requirements

      or include under each list. We'll add a

      Additional Requirements

      with bullet about ability to maintain security/integrity of infrastructure. We must not include Pay, Schedule, Benefits sections as they are not stated. Now produce HTML fragment. Check for any duplicated lines: we must avoid repeating same info. We'll be careful. Let's craft. First, short metadata paragraph: maybe

      Location: El Paso, TX | Posted: Mon Sep 28 2026

      . That's minor metadata. Then About the role paragraph(s). Could be multiple

      under the heading. We'll write:

      • Ability to maintain the security or integrity of critical infrastructure as required by Executive Order GA‑48 for positions involving research, work, or access to such infrastructure.
      We should not include any boilerplate EEO etc. Now output only HTML fragment. Check that we didn't repeat job title as heading. We didn't. Check that we didn't include any filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Check that we didn't include Pay/Benefits/Schedule sections. Not present. Check that we preserved all substantive information: department programs, enrollment numbers, research culture, centers, new center, invitation for two positions, responsibilities, emphasis areas, requirements for each rank, security requirement. We omitted the diversity statement about access, excellence, impact mission. That is somewhat substantive but maybe considered boilerplate? It's not EEO but it's a mission statement. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-op
