Chemical Engineering
University of Washington (WA) - Associate or Full Professor TT, Chemical Engineering & Materials Science and Engineering
The Departments of Chemical Engineering (ChemE) and Materials Science & Engineering (MSE) at the University of Washington invite applications for one full-time tenure-track faculty position (9-month service periods) that will be jointly appointed in the two departments. The successful candidate will have an outstanding record of high impact research that is advancing the battery chemistry and materials fields, as well as an outstanding scholarly vision for innovative research and education as a faculty member. We are primarily focused on hires at the rank of Associate or Full Professors. Applications received by January 1, 2016 will receive full consideration, though the position will remain open until filled.
Applicants must have a Ph.D. or foreign equivalent doctorate degree in Materials Science Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related discipline by the date of appointment. This position is part of a multi-year Clean Energy Institute (CEI) hiring campaign to build excellence that spans the scales of a clean energy economy, from molecular discovery to grid systems and operations. The candidate we seek here will be an interdisciplinary scholar with expertise in one or more areas of advanced battery chemistry and materials. Areas of particular interest include, but are not limited to, new and innovative battery electrodes, electrolytes, and separators; unique electrode and device architecture and processing; testing, degradation, and life modeling; and in-situ & ex-situ characterization for novel applications in consumer electronic, stationary and transportation fields. They will be expected to teach both undergraduate and graduate courses within the two departments, to develop high quality interdisciplinary research programs and to position the departments to better serve the needs of society for advanced energy storage solutions. All University of Washington faculty engage in teaching, research, and service.
