Washington University in St. Louis invites applications for multiple tenure-track faculty positions, in Materials Science and Engineering.
Candidates should have earned Ph.D.s in Materials Science, Materials Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or related disciplines.
Research areas of interest include, but are not limited, to: Nanostructured Materials, Nanoparticle Technology, Adaptive and Multifunctional Materials, Energy Harvesting and Energy Storage, Electrochemical Processes, Materials Synthesis, Soft Materials, Biomaterials, Hybrid Materials, Nanotoxicology and Multi-scale Processes.
Depending on the background of each candidate and synergies in research interests, successful applicants will have their primary appointments in one of the five School of Engineering & Applied Science (SEAS) Departments (e.g., Mechanical Engineering & Materials Science, Biomedical Engineering or Energy, Environmental & Chemical Engineering), with the potential for joint appointments in other Departments within Engineering (e.g., Computer Science & Engineering or Electrical & Systems Engineering) or in other Schools (Medicine, Arts & Sciences) at Washington University.
Materials Science has been identified as an area of growth for SEAS at Washington University. Cross-disciplinary initiatives in Materials Science include the Center for Materials Innovation (CMI) and the International Center for Advanced Renewable Energy and Sustainability (I-CARES).
The current search is aimed at recruiting a cluster of new faculty members, primarily at the Junior level, but appointments at more Senior levels will be considered, for candidates with distinguished records of achievement in research and teaching.
Successful applicants will be expected to build strengths within SEAS and establish strong connections with existing Materials Science Programs and other relevant Interdisciplinary Areas in the Physical and Biomedical Sciences. In addition to research, all successful candidates are expected to teach Engineering courses, at the Undergraduate and Graduate levels.
Each applicant should send a Curriculum Vita, a statement of research plans and teaching interests and philosophy (each statement not to exceed 3 pages) and a list of at least three references (with telephone numbers and email addresses), by email, as a single file, in .PDF format, to:
materials_search@seas.wustl.edu
Applications will be accepted at any time and will be considered until the positions are filled; evaluation will begin by November 15, 2010. |
