The University of California San Diego has launched a new engineering institute led by the Jacobs School of Engineering focused on making sure humanity’s recent advances in fusion science translate into safe, abundant and affordable clean energy for California, the nation and the world.

The new campuswide effort is called the Fusion Engineering Institute – and it is the term “engineering” that makes this project unique and compelling.

As part of the launch of this institute, UC San Diego is recruiting for two mechanical and aerospace engineering faculty positions in fusion engineering (assistant professor in fusion engineering and associate or full professor in fusion engineering) within the Jacobs School of Engineering.
