RANK AND DISCIPLINE		QUALIFICATIONS
Open Faculty Position Nanobioscience Constellation College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering The University at Albany Albany, New York As part of its multi-year strategic plan, the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) of the University at Albany-SUNY invites applications for tenure track position at the full Professor Level in its Nanobioscience Constellation. Opportunities are available for individuals with expertise in the area of development and deployment of atomic scale analytical tools and metrology techniques for solving cutting edge problems at the interface of nanotechnology and biology. Demonstrated expertise and established track record in biometrics and/or biomimetics is required. Particular areas of interest include: (i) the formulation of novel approaches for examining, interrogating, and manipulating the physical (e.g. structural, electro-mechanical) and biochemical aspects of biological systems; (ii) the development of new protocols for investigating and exploiting cell membrane/organelle dynamics and cell/tissue/biomolecule substrate interactions including adhesion, preferential attachment and structural analysis; and/or (iii) the design and demonstration of useful processes, systems, and devices that integrate nanometer scale controllability and atomic level know-how with the exotic properties and revolutionary functionalities of biochemical, electrobiochemical, and biological materials. The CNSE Nanobioscience Constellation is a "think tank" of scholarly excellence in research and education that is designed to catalyze and encourage cross-disciplinary innovation and pedagogy, as driven by the fundamental intellectual underpinnings of nanotechnology. As part of its portfolio, the CNSE Nanobioscience Constellation is planning graduate (doctoral and Masters) degrees in Nanobioscience that will provide a comprehensive education in the application of nanoscale scientific concepts and principles to the study of biological, biomedical, and medical procedures, practices, structures, systems, and organisms.		Candidates should have a Ph.D. in an appropriate concentration in physics, chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science, materials engineering, biology, biotechnology, or electrical engineering from a college or university accredited by a USDOE or internationally recognized accrediting organization. The candidates must also have a strong publication record and must possess demonstrated excellence in academic, scientific and scholarly activities and a proven track record in establishing vigorous externally funded research programs in one of the technical areas listed above. Applicants must address in their applications their abilities to work with and instruct a culturally diverse population. Joint appointments in the other CNSE constellations are possible and highly encouraged where appropriate. Candidates will be asked to submit a list of publications related to their research activities. The College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering of the University at Albany-State University of New York is the first college in the world devoted exclusively to the research, development and deployment of innovative nanoscience, nanoengineering, nanobioscience and nanoeconomics concepts. In May 2006, it was ranked by Small Times magazine as the nation's number one college for nanotechnology and microtechnology. CNSE's Albany NanoTech complex is the most advanced research facility of its kind at any university in the world: a $3 billion, 450,000-square-foot complex that attracts corporate partners from around the world and offers students a one-of-a-kind academic experience, and it is growing. The UAlbany CNSE is also home to the New York State Center of Excellence in Nanoelectronics. The CNSE complex, financed through more than $500 million in governmental support and over $2.5 billion in corporate investments, houses the only pilot prototyping facilities in the academic world for the two standard sizes in computer chip design, the 200-millimete r(or 8-inch) wafer, and the 3OO-millimeter (or 12-inch) wafer. CNSE has more than 150 U.S. and worldwide partners, including some of the world's largest semiconductor and semiconductor-related tool manufacturing companies.
