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.
Information about the Departments:
- The MSE department currently has 18 faculty, 137 undergraduates, 100 graduate students, and 25 postdoctoral researchers.

Civil Engineering
University of Washington (WA) - Assistant or Associate Professor TT, Civil & Environmental Engineering
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) at the University of Washington (UW) is in an ambitious, multiyear period of growth and renewal. As part of this expansion, applications are being solicited for a full-time, tenure-track faculty position in water quality engineering, with focus on innovative approaches in water and wastewater treatment. We are particularly interested in the development and application of new materials, molecules, and technologies for treatment processes, including, for example: enzymatic approaches to contaminant degradation and directed transformations, optimization of community-level microbial functions for targeted contaminant transformations and/or generation of beneficial products, engineered materials for reaction-based treatment processes, and advanced inorganic or organic materials for adsorption and filtration processes.
Successful candidates are expected to leverage existing department and university strengths in the fields of bio-, molecular, and/or materials engineering to enable development of highly efficient, selective, and less resource intensive water and wastewater treatment processes. Innovation at scales ranging from the molecular to the community, including process and reactor engineering, is welcome. Candidates should therefore have a strong foundation for interdisciplinary research and successful collaborative investigations with colleagues in relevant physical, biological, chemical, and/or engineering subdisciplines.
Successful candidates will also have a strong interest in teaching and mentoring, contributing to the existing range of courses and to the development of innovative undergraduate and graduate curricula that integrate across traditional civil and environmental engineering and science disciplines.
Candidates at the rank of Assistant Professor are strongly encouraged, but those with an established reputation as a leader in their field will also be considered at the rank of Associate Professor. A PhD, or foreign equivalent, in civil or environmental engineering, or a related discipline is required.
The University of Washington is building a culturally diverse faculty and strongly encourages applications from women, minorities, individuals with disabilities and covered veterans. The University of Washington is the recipient of a 2006 Alfred P. Sloan Award for Faculty Career Flexibility and a 2001 National Science Foundation ADVANCE Institutional Transformation Award to increase the advancement of women faculty in science, engineering, and math (see www.engr.washington.edu/advance). All positions are contingent on the availability of funding. University of Washington faculty engage in teaching, research and service.
Applications should include (1) a cover letter, (2) a curriculum vitae, (3) a onepage description of the candidate's vision for research activities, (4) a onepage description of the candidate's vision for teaching, and (5) a list of at least three references.
Application review date will be November, 30 2016. http://bit.ly/2elRFBV
Industrial Engineering
University of Washington (WA) - Assistant or Associate Professor TT, Industrial & Systems Engineering (2 openings)
The Department of Industrial & Systems Engineering (ISE) at the University of Washington invites outstanding faculty candidates to apply for two full-time (100% FTE) tenure-track/tenured faculty positions (9-month service periods). We are seeking excellent candidates in Human Factors and Ergonomics with strong quantitative backgrounds. We are primarily focused on hires at the rank of Assistant Professor, although candidates with exceptional experience may be considered for appointments at the Associate Professor level.
Applicants must have a PhD or foreign equivalent in industrial engineering, systems engineering or a related field by the date of appointment, and excellent communication skills.
All University of Washington faculty engage in teaching, research, and service. The successful applicant will be expected to provide innovative, high-quality teaching; engage in collaborative research; complement the department's research areas; develop a vigorous, funded research program; and contribute to the goals and missions of the department, college, and university. This position is contingent on budgetary approval.
The University of Washington's ISE department has 10 faculty, 50 full-time graduate students, 60 part-time master's students, and 135 undergraduates. More information is available at: http://ise.washington.edu.
